Tanzanian superstar Diamond Platnumz has said he currently does not consider anyone as a competition in his home country (Tanzania), when it comes to music.
Speaking during an interview with UK's podcast 90s Babyshow hosted by Fred Santana, Temi Alchemy & VP, Diamond revealed this is the main reason why he refused to participate in the Tanzania music awards (2022).
"I will tell you this, I have no competition and the whole continent knows this. That is why I told the organisers of the Tanzania music awards not to nominate me because I'm now at a point where I should be empowering musicians from Tanzania and competing with them." said Diamond.
Adding "If you go to all platforms, like You tube, just last month I had 53 million views the one following me had 17 million and he is an artist that I introduced, under my label, so why should I compete with my fellow Tanzanian artists, it does not make sense."
Asked about the artists that fans should watch out for, Diamond who is currently promoting his new FOA Ep, mentioned Zuchu and Nandy, Rayvanny, Mbosso, LavaLava and AliKiba.
