Tanzanian Man Who Stole Diamond's Cap Claims His Body Trembled: "Mwili Ulikufa Ganzi"

• The young man who recently stole Diamond's cap has reminisced about the incident which occurred in Dodoma during the singer's tour
• He says he chose to help himself to the cap because his favourite artiste had dished out several other items to fans, but he got nothing
• The youngster claims that an intense sensation overcame him as soon as he grabbed it, and his body trembled before going numb

A young Tanzanian man has come forward to claim that he feels differently since the day he stole singer Diamond's cap a few weeks ago.

Diamond was set to perform at a show in Dodoma when a fan extended his hand out of the crowd and grabbed his green cap, leaving him bamboozled.

My body trembled, says man who stole cap from Diamond

In a video shared by 5-star Newstz, he provided a perplexing account of the events when he took the crooner's valued hat by force.

The youngster says he felt left out because the singer had dished out several other items, but he didn't get any, so he opted to grab the cap.

He claimed that as soon as he grabbed Diamond's cap, an intense sensation overcame him, causing his entire body to shake uncontrollably.

“Mwili ulisisimka, ukakufa ganzi. Nilitetemeka nikawa hata sijielewi (my body trembled, then it became numb. I was shaking so vigorously I couldn't understand what was happening)” he said.

He was apprehended by the songwriter's security personnel shortly afterwards and forced to give back the cap, but the memory remains etched in his mind.

According to him, he has been feeling superior since the incident, yet those around him assume he is still the usual fellow they knew back then.

Diamond gave out free caps

His sentiments come days after social media users accused Diamond of throwing tantrums over the cap because it has juju.

Many believe that an artiste with the financial success he enjoys would easily let go of the stolen item and get a replacement.

However, the star sent his security team to ensure they returned the exact cap, insisting it had to be found because it matched each outfit.

In the days following the theft, Diamond gave out several caps to his fans to show his appreciation for their support.

He also explained that he whined when the green one was grabbed from his head because he felt disrespected.

“People were surprised why I followed up on the cap because when someone steals from you, that shows they do not respect you. I appreciate that you have supported me, but if you want something from me, ask, and I will give you,” he said.
