Diamond Platnumz has revealed that he simply couldn’t ask Zuchu to pay him for his role in her new single ‘Utaniua’ which is taking over the airwaves.
Zuchu featured Diamond as the main video vixen in her new music video and it seems it has worked magic to attract viewers.
‘Utaniua’ quickly garnered over one million views hours after the Tanzanian singer released the video on YouTube.
The song tells the story of an arranged marriage that has been forced upon Zuchu by her father.
In the video, Zuchu and Diamond are in a romantic relationship. However, their love is threatened by an arranged marriage being forced upon Zuchu by her father.
Speaking during an interview with Wasafi FM, Diamond explained that he couldn’t ask to be paid for his role in Zuchu’s new song because he is the leader in industry and also because Zuchu is signed to his music label Wasafi.
The Wasafi boss said it was his responsibility to do whatever was required of him, adding that featuring as a vixen in Zuchu’s new song would make it go viral.
“Apana mi sijalipwa lakini sasa unajua nikiwa kama kiongozi kwenye taasisi ule ni miongoni mwa watu ambaye tunafanya kazi pamoja ilikua ni jukumu langu kuhakikisha kama natakiwa nifanye sababu ikionekana nkifanya mimi italeta chachu zaidi, italeta ukubwa wa video zaidi na itamuongezea nafasi mzuri zaidi.
“Sa nkaona sina jinsi itabidi nifanye na tangia mwanzo wakati inatengenezwa story ni mtu ambaye tumeshiriki kwenye kuiandika story, kudirect pia kwa hivyo yani sikua na namna ya kukataa, singeweza kukataa kiukweli,” Diamond explained.
