The reason/s why Diamond Platnumz is considered to have made history as a first African musician to achieve such a milestone as an African artiste is because he is from Africa and he’s based in Africa with most of his views coming predominantly from Africa while on the other hand, Maître Gims pulls most of his views from Europe than in Africa.
