Tanzanian singer, Diamond Platnumz confessed he almost went broke featuring Davido.


The Internationally sensational Tanzanian act, Diamond Platnumz has recounted how he almost went bankrupt after featuring Davido seven years ago. The interview with Nairobi News which was published online on the 11th of February 2021 recounted how he featured Davido on the remix of his seven years ago hit song titled "Number one" almost made him broke.
In his words;

“Before doing the first video version of Number One at Ogopa Djs in Nairobi, my video cost used to be about US$ 3,000 (Sh326, 000) per video. With Number One, I went 10 times higher and spent US$30,000 (Sh3.3 million) or thereabout to fly Ogopa Djs video crew to Cape Town, South Africa, and shoot my video. The outcome was amazing, and that gave me the green light to approach Davido for a remix”

“I took loans from Tanzania banks to finance my video and collaboration with Davido in Lagos because I had to travel there with my crew.



The Tanzanian singer however disclosed he never regretted the risk and action he took in order to collaborate with Davido, with the remix he was able to break into more markets and was able to start his infant music label, Wasafi.
