Diamond is NOT Being Paid 1.2 Million. He’s Not Even Performing at The MCSK Gala In the First Place!

We all know MCSK gala night is going down on Monday night- Mashujaa day and guess who’s not performing? Diamond Platnumz. This is a story which has created quite a buzz on social media for the better part of the day.

Since its Ghafla, we took it upon ourselves to confirm and indeed Diamond is not being paid 1.2 million. As a matter of fact he’s NOT even being paid at all since he’s not scheduled to perform.

According to Maurice Okoth, CEO MCSK, Diamond is just gracing the event to have a good time and watch fellow Kenyan artists perform and he also clarified where all this emanated from.

Apparently Diamond was in the country the other day to collect his cheque for royalties and to be specific broadcasting royalties. He happened to be the highest paid foreign earner according to the music body. In the process he heard about the gala going down on Mashujaa day and that’s when he showed interest to attend.

We went further and talked to Nameless an artist scheduled to perform on that day and he dispelled the allegations as false and unfortunate. He argued against people dispensing any information without confirming first with the relevant quarters and cautioned against people rushing to social media to spread rumours.

Frasha of P-UNIT also shared the same sentiments and indeed confirmed that Diamond was not performing. What he however disclosed was that indeed all performing artists will be paid 50,000. And just to keep you in the know on exactly which performances to expect, here is a full list of all the artists scheduled to perform;

So,there You have it. The TRUTH HATH BEEN SPOKEN. No more misinformation. See You at the Gala.
