This is just pocket change for Simba! This is how much Diamond, Rayvanny and Wasafi have been fined by Basata

Tanzania’s music regulatory body Basata has finally fined Diamond Platnumz, Rayvanny and Wasafi label for producing a song ‘Mwanza’ that contravenes acceptable morals standards.

Basata executive secretary Godfrey Mngereza announced the fine after close to three hour meeting with Rayvanny. Diamond was away in Canada.

“Huu wimbo haufai kabisa. Hata kwenye kikao tumemuuliza Rayvanny je, unaweza kuuimba mbele ya wazazi wako akajibu hapana, inaonyesha namna gani hata yeye anaona hauna maadili, na kwa nini tupige marufuku usipigwe halafu turuhusu ifanywe hivyo usiku?” said Mngerea.

9 million fine

Diamond, Rayvanny and Wasafi have jointly been fined Tsh 9 million or Kes 403,197. Basata said they three were each required to pay Tsh 3 million or Kes 134,399.

134k is just pocket change for Diamond Platnumz, the singer charges a whopping $70,000 or Kes 7 million as performance fee.

Right now Simba is in Canada where he has had multiple shows, guess how many he will have earned by the end of his trip.
