A video of Diamond Platnumz 'murdering' the King's language has left netizens in stitches.
Diamond Platnumz's English cracks ribs
The Yatapita hitmaker travelled to South Africa to see his children for the first time after his ex and baby mama Zari Hassan got married to Shakib Lutaaya.
The singer took his kids, Princess Tiffah and Prince Nillan, out and had fun. In the evening, he returned them to their Pretoria mansion, but the mood changed when it was time for him to leave.

The two kids burst into tears as they clung to their famous father, begging him not to leave them. Diamond tried unsuccessfully to calm Nillan down as Zari comforted Tiffah.
The kids insisted they wanted to sleep at their dad's apartment, but their parents told them it was impossible as they had an early morning appointment at the immigration office.
Tiffah questioned why her dad was leaving early, and he told them he was working on a new song overnight, and that was the point where he murdered the Queen's language.
"I am going to do another sing (read: song)," he told his kids before leaving.
The video left netizens in stitches, with many commenting about his English.

Diamond murders English again
The Tanzanian crooner has on several occasions murdered the King's language, and the most memorable was when he first appeared in the Netflix Show Young, Famous and African.
Hours after the highly anticipated show was released, keen social media users called out the Tanzanian singer for mauling the Queen's language.
A Twitter user shared a conversation between the Jeje crooner and Nadia Nakai, one of the ladies on the show, in which she inquired about his age.
"How old are you," the lady in a gorgeous red dress asked Diamond.
The Wasafi Classic Baby boss, rocking a carful coat, looked up and seemed to be deep in thought, perhaps to appear as being mysterious. His silence prompted the woman to ask:
"Why do you have to think about it?"
"No, I'm not thinking about it. I was just untying my button," Diamond defended himself.
He responded to the question by saying:
"I’m 31st."
Diamond Platnumz reacts to claims that he sampled songs from Nigerian musicians
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Tanzanian singer, Diamond Platnumz, reacted to claims of duplicating popular Nigerian songs.
Diamond dismissed claims as baseless and rooted in envy over his phenomenal success in music.
The musician addressed the specific allegations that he had copied music from Nigerian sensations like Wizkid, Burna Boy, Spyro and Asake, brushing them off as mere distractions from his soaring career trajectory.
