The Googleowned video streaming platform announced the account had been suspended for violating YouTube’s community guidelines.
Wasafi Digital administrator Majidi Ramadhani revealed that the channel had been hacked prior to its termination by YouTube.
“Diamond Platnumz YouTube channel was hacked last Sunday and the hacker(s) proceeded to go live. The content that the hackers aired didn’t go down well with YouTube as it violated its guidelines and that was the reason it was terminated,” Ramadhani explained. According to
Ramadan, YouTube detected suspicious activity on your account when it was hacked and immediately protected your account from hackers before suspending it.
“Actually, I received an email from YouTube saying that the channel was suspended and requesting an explanation. We are investigating this and accounts should be restored at any time. Digital Akim Ndolo's Wasafi head has already responded to all inquiries on YouTube and we are just waiting for their feedback,” he added.
Majidi also noted that the disqualification caused Diamond to suffer significant losses.
“Definitely with such activities there is a significant amount of money lost. But what is important is securing the channel and having it back,” Majidi added.
Ndolo said that they will work around the clock to have the account back.
“Diamond account was hacked on Sunday and the hackers went live. Whatever content they aired violated YouTube’s community guidelines. We've already reached out to YouTube to clear up this mess. We urge our fans to be patient," said N'Dolo.
