Diamond Platnumz just rocked the digital throne harder than a 5.0 on the Richter scale! The Tanzanian music icon just made history, becoming the FIRST artist in Sub-Saharan Africa to cross the 10 MILLION subscriber mark on YouTube — and yes, the internet just exploded.

The “Jeje” hitmaker strutted into YouTube HQ like the royalty he is, collecting the Diamond Creator Award — that ultra-exclusive blinged-out play button that only the YouTube elite can flex. Picture this: shimmering silver, crystal, and 10 million fans screaming his name.
From Dar es Salaam to Hollywood Boulevard, Diamond is proving that African talent isn’t just rising — it’s reigning. And let’s be real — with 3 BILLION views and over 1,200 videos on his channel, this star didn’t just show up overnight. He’s been grinding since 2011, and now the world is finally catching up.
WCB Wasafi, his powerhouse label, didn’t hold back:
“Africa’s King of Numbers A milestone achieved!”

And they’re not lying. While some artists rent jets for clout, Diamond built an empire from raw hustle, catchy hooks, and visuals that drip with sauce. Think collabos with global stars, viral dance trends, and a fanbase that rides HARD.
Not only is this a digital victory, but it’s also a money move. That YouTube bag? Heavy. With ad cash, sponsorships, and streaming checks rolling in, Diamond’s not just making hits — he’s making millions.
And in case you forgot — this isn’t just about Diamond. It’s a moment for Africa. A bold, unapologetic reminder that the continent is bursting with star power ready to take the global stage.

So what’s next? Rumors are swirling that his U.S. tour might turn into a full-blown international media blitz, with major labels and brands already knocking.
Our take? Diamond Platnumz isn’t just playing the game — he’s rewriting the rules.
