Diamond Platnumz set tongues wagging at the 2023 Trace Award gala that was held in Kigali, Rwanda over the past weekend.

The Tanzanian singer jetted off from Dar es Salaam to Kigali aboard a private jet with his children Princess Tiffah, Nillan and Naseeb Junior.

Mama Dangote was also part of Diamond’s delegation to Kigali on Saturday, October 21, 2023.

The singer caused a stir as he walked to the arena with his three children and mother clad in outfits that made them stand out.

Diamond won the Best East Africa category during the award gala.

Rema and Davido were the top winners at the 2023 Trace Awards. The Trace Awards are a new awards franchise created by Trace, a global TV and multimedia platform. The purpose of the awards is to recognize African and Afro-influenced musicians.

Rema won song of the year for his global smash ‘Calm Down’ – a remix of the song with Selena Gomez. The Nigerian star also won best global African artist (in a tie with Nomcebo).

Davido also won two awards — best male and best collaboration. He won the latter award for ‘Unavailable’, a collabo with Musa Keys from South Africa.
