Ghanaian singer Fantana, whose real name is Francine Koffie, experienced a tense moment during the premiere of season three of the popular Netflix reality show Young, Famous and African on January 17. The show captures the complex dynamics of Africa’s entertainment industry, and in this season, Fantana’s relationship with Tanzanian star Diamond Platnumz takes center stage.
Throughout the season, Diamond Platnumz openly declares his affection for Fantana, assuring her that she is the only woman in his life, despite being a known playboy in the public eye. While Diamond promises her the world, Fantana, on the other hand, experiences a moment of anxiety when she faces a pregnancy scare.
In one of the more dramatic scenes, Fantana reveals to her fellow cast members that she had taken a pregnancy test and was hoping it would come back negative. Surprisingly, the test results revealed she was not pregnant. However, what stood out was Diamond Platnumz’s apparent excitement about the possibility of having another child, while Fantana seemed more uncertain about the situation.
As she opened up to her friends, the conversation turned to the topic of family planning, with South African singer Nadia Nakai advising her to consider it carefully, given the uncertainty surrounding Diamond’s intentions. Fantana’s friends also cautioned her that, despite his affection, Diamond Platnumz has never shown a desire for children, but rather a preference for settling down without the responsibilities of parenthood.
The show also touches on Diamond’s relationship with Zuchu, another Tanzanian artist he has worked with, whom he describes as a “situationship.” According to Diamond, Zuchu is simply his artist, with no romantic involvement. Additionally, the show highlights a tense meeting between Diamond and Zari Hassan’s husband, Shakib Cham, following their private wedding. Shakib reassures Diamond that he will take good care of his children, as he now shares a family with Zari, with whom Diamond has two children, Princess Tiffah and Prince Nillan.
Fantana, who was born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1997, has made her mark in the music industry with hits like So What, Girls Hate On Girls, and Rich Gyal Anthem. With her entrepreneurial spirit, she also runs her boutique while holding a degree in business and fashion. As she navigates the high-profile dynamics of reality TV and her relationship with Diamond Platnumz, Fantana’s journey unfolds as one of self-discovery amidst the complexities of fame and love.
