Groupie 101: My Embarrassing 2 Seconds With Diamond Platnumz Which I Will Never Forget #TasteTheFeeling

So do you have a celebrity crush? I have one, he’s a man and I’m not the slightest afraid to let the world know. His name is Diamond Platnumz. I bet you have probably heard about him. His songs are on high rotation on the various radio and TV stations and his social media pages are awash with pictures of him globetrotting and awing masses with his music.

Why him? Well, because I’m a sucker for good work ethic. It doesn’t matter what lies in between your legs but as long you love what you do and you’re good at it, then I’m sold. And truth be told, Diamond has an impeccable work ethic.

Now, I’m not here to brag about my crush but to brag about the fact that I have met him and specifically narrate about the first time I met him. I had attended some event in Mauritius where he was actually one of performing acts. As usual he didn’t disappoint, it was a great show but there was one problem, there was no way security was going to let me have a moment with the guy, to just take a selfie even.

I still tried anyway but I failed terribly, I was shoveled and bundled away by his security even before I could even manage with the guy. It was heart-rending But what can a guy do? It was time I accepted that I would never get a chance to interact with the guy but little did I know what God had in store for me.

I was scheduled to fly back to Kenya the next day so I’m there minding my own business and reminiscing about the previous day events when I hear Larry Madowo mention Diamond’s name. For a moment I thought he was a groupie like I was but no; the guy was standing just next to him. He was in the company of his manager and apparently we were scheduled to use the same flight.

Right there and then I froze, I went numb and my palms started sweating. This was Diamond…Diamond Platnumz just standing next to me, with no security, no barriers at all. Noo, this couldn’t be true.  But wait; he had actually started moving, he was heading towards boarding the plane before I could finish fathoming the whole ordeal.

I had to move and move first which I did. So as quick as I could, I approached the guy. Tried saying hi and introducing myself but words just couldn’t come out. Saliva did though and I think it landed on his face. *Yes, I have spat on Diamond* Then followed that quizzical look from him and ooh my, things were getting heated up….this was more than I expected.

I had to speak first or forever hold my peace because the guy was moving….his manager was now beckoning and there was just so much to be discussed. It was crazy but I managed to chuck out my phone and at least manage to click on the camera button. I immediately clicked and there was my much awaited selfie. It was a horrible photo but who cared, it was still a selfie with Chibudee himself!

I think I leaned in a bit too much and I think I also attempted holding his waist which was a bit weird. Why? Because he noticed and took a step back and again gave me that quizzical look, I think my intentions had been misconstrued, I think also my sexual orientation.

But in that split of a second, I had achieved and I wanted the world to know. A post on facebook or a photo on instagram just wouldn’t cut it but unfortunately that’s all I had. If it was now, then there would be Coca Cola’s Taste a feeling which allows creating a gif which you can share in all these platforms. With a GIF, the message is more personal and creative and personal.

And let’s be honest, we want the world to know so here, create one yourself………Taste the Feeling
