Celebrated Bongo star Diamond Platnumz is a happy man, his YouTube channel is now back after it was terminated.
In a spot check by The Sauce, the channel has been restored by YouTube’s management with his most recent release ‘Wonder’ off the First Of All’ EP trending at number one with over 2.7 million views.
The African superstar wrote on his Instagram page indicating that the page was back. “Thank you my Beloved….my YouTube channel is back,” he said.
The channel was put out of commission by YouTube because it violated community guidelines.
The deactivation of Chibu’s channel comes two days after it was hacked by Bitcoin scammers – its name changed to Tesla Live before his IT team restored it back to normalcy.
A statement issued by WCB Wasafi’s head of digital department Kim Kayndo details that Platnumz’ channel was deactivated after hackers violated YouTube community guidelines when they were in control of the channel.
“Kutokana na channel ya Diamond Platnumz kudukuliwa jumapili iliyopita na wadukuzi kuingia live. Leo imezuiliwa na YouTube kutoka na maudhui yale kuvunja sharia za YouTube. Tumeshafanya mawasiliano ya awali kutatua tatizo hili. Tuendelee kuwa wavumilivu kila kitu kitakuwa sawa,” Kim Kayndo posted.
Kim recently announced to the public that they had managed to regain access of Chibu Dangote’s channel after it was hacked by bitcoin scammers.
“Usiku wa Kuamkia leo channel za wasanii wetu Diamond Platnumz na Mbosso zilikuwa hacked na Bitcoin scammers. Tumefanikiwa kuzirudisha salama na poleni kwa wote mliokutana na tatizo hili. Tuendeelea kuwasiliana na YouTube creators kwa msaada Zaidi,” Kim said.
