Diamond Platnumz will be performing at the opening ceremony of the 2017 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) which starts on January 14th in Gabon.

The two artists have performed together before at various events, latest being at Glo-CAF Award 2016 in Abuja; they also collaborated to drop “Nana” hit song.
