Diamond’s mum and her ‘Ben 10’ hubby celebrate five years anniversary


Five years down the line, it seems the love between Bi Sandra Sanurah aka Mama Dangote and her man Rally Jones nicknamed ‘Ben 10’ or Uncle Shamte keeps growing stronger.

This after Uncle Shamte shared a romantic message to his wife to celebrate the fives they’ve been together.

In the message, Uncle Shamte said the love he feels for Mama Dangote, who is Diamond Platnumz’s mum, is the same as when they first met.

“Allhamdullillah… 1 Oct 2017 – 1 Oct 2022 Upendo upo pale pale haujahama wala kutikisika… Five years, 60 months, 260 weeks, or 1,825 days—however you count it, it all adds up to love. I love you my wife @mama_dangote,” Uncle Shamte said.

Their relationship has been questioned by critics who have accused Uncle Shamte of marrying Mama Dangote for his son’s money since it is still not yet clear what he does for a living.

During a past interview, Uncle Shamte insisted that he does not get a single coin from Mama Dangote maintaining they are together because of their love.

“Mimi ni mfanyibiashara ndugu yangu, nina gereji ipo Dar es Salaam hii. Nishawahi kuwajibu watu, kwa jinsi unavyomwona huyu bibiye (Mama Dangote) wewe ushawahi kumskia kahonga mtu. Huyu ni Kigwasu (stingy lady). Vigwasu unawajua? Mpare hatari. Kwa hiyo hakuna mtu anayeweza kupata hela kutoka kwake yeye. Mimi huyu alikuwa rafiki yangu, urafiki ukatengeneza mahusiano, mahusiano yakatengeneza mke na mume na tulikutana Paris, France,” he explained.

On the matter of them having a child together, Mama Dangote clarified that she got married to her young lover to have fun and not to make babies.

“Sisi tumeoana sio wa kuzaa, tumeona kula good time. Tuzae nini na utu uzima huu? Sasa nizae nini? Mwataka nifie labour? Mume wangu ananipenda, sitaki mambo ya kuzaa zaa,” she said.

But if she changes her mind and decides to have one more child, her firstborn daughter Esma Platnumz says she is willing to take care of the baby as her own, and her mother can have all the fun she wants in life.
