“On top of that, he’s proven to be an incredible businessman, as he’s grown WCB-Wasafi into a formidable record label. The East and Central African music scene has exploded over the last few years and we believe by working together, we can help promote Diamond and his artists to more fans around the world, and introduce the Bongo Flava scene to a broader audience”.

Currently, Diamond Platnumz is one of Africa’s most successful artists, having released multiple hit songs, and is one of the region’s most recognisable figures.

This has further led to him becoming a brand ambassador for companies such as Pepsi, Parimatch, Nice One Brand and Coral Paints.
