Tanzanian superstar, Diamond Platnumz, has apologised for posting a video clip on Instagram of himself playfully kissing a woman.
The singer was arrested by Tanzanian authorities for posting the videos a few days ago.
His posts were deemed to be in breach of Tanzania’s culture and the country’s laws regulating online content.
Speaking with reporters on Thursday the “bongo flava” star said he had realised that his actions were wrong.
Platnumz said,
“I’ve had a long conversation with the authorities and I have learnt that what I did was not right.
“As a role model to many young people, not just in Tanzania but across the continent, posting a private moment was irresponsible of me.”
His apology comes after he met top officials at the country’s communication regulatory authority, the body charged with implementing the controversial regulations that came into force a few weeks ago.
One of the controversial videos showed the 28-year-old playing on the bed with the mother of his child, Hamisa Mobeto.
The “Sikomi” crooner was also kissing and caressing an unidentified woman in the other video
