Pesa Otas! Diamond Platnumz Earns More In A Week Than Uhuru’s Monthly Salary

Tanzanian Musician Diamond Platnumz is without a doubt one of the richest musicians in Africa. The singer earns a lot from his Radio station Wasafi FM and TV station Wasafi TV. Having such media means that he also gets advertisement gigs which contribute to the singer’s earnings.

The musician disclosed that he earns Tsh 55 million in a week from advertising. This is equivalent to slightly over Kshs 2 million. Using celebrities to advertise is also one of the tactics used by most firms.

This is obviously because they influence consumer choice. Platnumz also says he makes TSh 200 million (Ksh 9.5 Million)  per month from endorsement deals. The star is also one of the few African musicians who make a lot of cash from their music.

”As for my endorsement deals and advertising business on social media, I get paid over TSh 55 million a week, (Ksh 2.6 Million)  which is over TSh 200 million a month. And soon I will be making more because just signed a deal for the same with yet another company.”

Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta earns approximately 1.44 million in a month.

Diamond is one of the self made millionaires, having come from a humble background. The singer has had controversies over the past few weeks about his real dad. He also met with his Ex, Tanasha Donna, who took their son to visit him. The couple also happened to share a stage in a concert in Dar es Salaam.

The Musician has shown the meaning of hardwork. We remember how he started his musical journey, looking like he would never make it. He’s truly an inspiration and deserves more.
