The 37-year-old mother of two revealed that the journey began a few months ago when the artist manager extended an invitation to his home.
His intention was to showcase his culinary skills, which he had mastered exceptionally. When Esma Platnumz visited Jembe One's residence, he prepared a delightful meal of chips and chicken for her.
Upon tasting the meal, she openly expressed her admiration for his cooking skills. Yet, when she expressed her intention to leave, Jembe One insisted she stay, resulting in her spending three memorable days with him. According to Esma Platnumz, this experience left an indelible mark on her.
"Hii siku sitakuja sahau ndio mwanzo wa mapenzi yetu nakumbuka ulikuwa unapenda niambia mimi napenda kupika, ukila chakula changu utapenda kila siku nikupikie.
Tukapanga siku ya kupikiana, matokeo yake nikala chipsi tuu. Nilitekwa sikutoka siku 3 kila nikitaka kuondoka naambiwa ooh usiondoke basi twende Dubai. Yani huyu kaka alikuwa ananipanga najiona 😂.
Ila siku 3 nilizotekwa niliEnjoooooooooy sana sanaaa tangu hapo nikawa km ruba.
Happy birthday, kipenzi changu NAKUPENDA SANA @jembe_one" Esma Platnumz wrote.
Jembe One fondly recalled how the gracious queen assured him that she would love him regardless of his circumstances, a sentiment he initially found hard to believe.
Now, he expresses his joy in the fact that they have remained a couple ever since, cherishing the time they've spent together.
"Nakumbuka pia ulikuwa unaniambia kuwa utanipenda kwa hali yoyote ile nikawa naona kama ndoto. Lakini namshukuru Allah mpaka Leo tuko wote 🌹ahsante sana BUBU NAKUPENDA KUPITILIZA ❤️" he wrote.
Esma Platnumz and Jembe One have been in a relationship for approximately six months.
Back in June, the curvaceous businesswoman took to her Instagram account to openly commemorate their two-month milestone together.
In that post, Esma Platnumz went as far as expressing her readiness to have a child with Jembe One, which would mark her third child in total.
"Mrs Rasheed anasherekea kutimiza miezi miwili na mpenzi wake. Sitaki nishauriwe hata na ndugu Mmakonde wangu ndo nishampenda na nazaa nae inshallah..." she wrote in part.
Just a few days ago in August, Esma Platnumz dropped a hint that she was planning to formally introduce Jembe One to her mother, Mama Dangote.
In her post, the 37-year-old also made a heartfelt pledge never to part ways with her 'Ben 10' lover, emphasizing how incredibly happy he had made her.
"Mama unaniona mwanao nafuraha sasa ya ukweli...nimepata furaha yangu nakuahidi sitaachananae mpk kifo kitutenganishe. Inshallah @jembe_one usipate bichwa sasa njoo kwa @mama_dangote tumalize kabisa" Esma Platnumz wrote.
