Diamond Platnumz is undoubtedly one of the best musicians in Africa. Days ago, we learnt that he has still dominated the East African music industry, in terms of viewership and YouTube subscribers. His Youtube channel has over 5million subs, which is the highest in East Africa, followed closely by his fellow Tanzanians Mbosso, Rayvanny and Zuchu. The only Kenyan in the top 5 is Otile Brown.

He is one of the richest musicians in Africa with an estimated net worth of Ksh 1 Billion. He owns several businesses, including media stations such as Wasafi Radio. The WCB owner also owns palatial homes and luxurious cars, including a Rolls Royce. He gets several endorsements and advertising gigs. The latest one he has is with Itel.

Anyway, the musician has revealed how much money he made from his hit song ‘Waah’ featuring Koffi Olomide. The song is one of his most viewed songs on YouTube with over 60 Million views in less than 5 months. On his Insta story, Diamond disclosed that after the song hit 39.3 Million views, he made Ksh 4,201,120.77, which is equal to Tsh 89,820,992.94.

He wrote;

”Wimbo wa #Waah ulipofikisha views milion 39,358,770 ulitengeneza Euros 32,266.53 sawa na shilingi milioni 89,869,867.07. Hivyo unaposikia neno views, si ujivuni tu wa watu kutazama wimbo au content… Ni distribution sales, mauzo kwa njia ya watu kutazama”

Diamond also educated his fans that not every song with similar views can make the same amount of money. It also depends on which countries have watched the song and of course, the views.
