Diamond Platnumz has opened up to reveal that he gets a lot of support from Kenyans than any other country with most of his views on YouTube coming from Kenya. He also disclosed that most of his streams usually come from Kenya as well.
Reportedly, Diamond Platnumz pocketed a cool 6.5 million Kenyan shillings for his performance at the Chrome Invasion New Year Party in Kenya.
What Diamond Platnumz can’t seem to wrap his mind around is why Kenyans are supporting him more than they are supporting their own artistes.
“It’s important for people to support musicians from their country. For example, I’ve gotten a lot of support from Kenya especially on my digital platforms. On YouTube, most views are from Kenya. If they can support me why can’t they support their own? I am making a lot of money from YouTube, I am making a lot of money. If I can make money then whey can’t other musicians do it?” the ‘Baba Lao’ hitmaker said.
Diamond Platnumz believes in musicians branding themselves in the correct way and treating their name as a brand while surrounding themselves with a good team that will make them achieve their goals while in the meantime set unprecedented standards in the music industry while at it.

“How you brand yourself is very important. There is money in music, if you want to make money you can and if you don’t, you won’t. How you brand yourself is very important. Have a set fee and if people can’t match up then they can leave. Don’t force people to pay you a lot of money if you cannot give them value for their money,” the founder and CEO of Wasafi Classic Baby(WCB) added.
Diamond Platnumz is one of the very successful African artistes from East Africa with an impressive music collaboration catalog of working with Cassper Nyovest, AKA, Rick Ross, Omarion, Ne-Yo, Davido, Fally Ipupa, with an asking price of over 2 million Kenyan shillings for a single performance alongside other demands.
