Tanasha Donna Oketch finally met her soon to be in-laws for the first time on January 13th 2019. She met Diamond’s mother, sister and other family members.
Diamond’s family treated the Kenyan beauty to a sumptuous lunch as they got to know each other. The singer’s mother Sanura Sandra, sister Esma Platnumz, family friend Juma Lokole were among those who were present.
Diamond’s other sister Queen Darleen deliberately missed the introduction ceremony. The singer rudely answered questions when Tanzanian daily approached her to find out why she missed the ceremony.

“Kwani Tanasha si mtu tu kama walivyo watu wengine? Kwa nini tungandanegandane? Si nilishamuona kule Kenya?” said Queen Darleen during an interview with Ijumaa Wikienda.
Am not Diamond’s sister
Queen Darleen also expressed anger with her brother during the interview, she said that she couldn’t attend the introduction ceremony since she wasn’t a family member. She further said she is only an artiste signed by Diamond.
“Niwepo wakiwa pamoja wanaenda kutambulishana kwani mimi mwanafamilia? Mimi si ndugu wa Diamond, mimi ni msanii wake tu,” said Queen Darleen before hanging up the phone.
Diamond and Queen Darleen share same father but were born by different mothers. A source told the daily that Darleen has no time for Tanasha because she has always rooted for her brother to marry Zari whom she believes is the right woman for Diamond.
“Yeye chaguo lake ni Zari na si mwanamke mwingine. Ndio maana unaona hana taimu na Tanasha, Esma na mama yake wao hawana shida, wanaunga mkono mwanamke yeyote ambaye Mondi atawatambulisha,” said the source.
