For a wedding gig in Lusa, Diamond Platnumz, the head of WCB Wasafi, allegedly received KSh 90 million. The performance was hosted for businessman Jimmy Karabassis’ wedding on May 17.
When Diamond and his company arrived in Zambia via private jet, they were greeted by a convoy of luxurious vehicles.
Tanzanian music sensation Diamond Platnumz has made a name for himself as one of Africa’s best performers, and his high-profile appearances at events are a testament to his unrivaled star power.
Be prepared to pay a premium since getting Diamond for a performance will literally cost you the moon. How much did Diamond get paid in Zambia?
Diamond was the star of a high-profile wedding that took place over the weekend in Lusaka, Zambia. It seems that the amount he was paid generated debate across the continent.
According to Wasafi TV and a number of Zambian media outlets, the Bongo Flava star was paid an astounding $700,000 (roughly KSh 90.8 million) to perform, at the wedding of famous businessman Jimmy Karabassis and his wife, Kadi.
The wedding, which happened on Saturday, May 17, was extraordinarily extravagant. Diamond and his staff arrived in luxury on a private plane, showcasing their elite status in the music world.
As seen by the fleet of pricey vehicles that greeted him upon his arrival, he added immense significance and prestige to any event.
The splendor of the event was further accentuated by the impressive entourage and sumptuous reception. Even though Diamond’s fees have been talked about for a while, further events and disclosures have served to put his profits in perspective.
After failing to live up to expectations during a recent performance, at the Furaha Festival in Kenya, the Tanzanian superstar opened up about the money he received.
In a lengthy video that went viral on social media, Diamond responded to the frustration of his Kenyan fans by explaining why he was unable to perform on stage.
