Why Diamond is East Africa’s Biggest Crowd-Puller

Hate him or love him but Tanzanian hit-maker Diamond Platnumz (Naseeb Abdul) has won the hearts of many East Africans in a way no other artist from this region has. The closest rival is Uganda’s Jose Chameleone whose loyal fans stalk him wherever he’s performing.

Back to Diamond; he was recently in Congo and boy did the crowd come out to at least just catch a glance of this Bongo thoroughbred. I have only seen the likes of Justin Bieber and Jay Z attract such a huge crowd. Complete with security provided by the army, fans in their huge numbers lined-up on the roadside to welcome him.

Diamond brought the traffic to a standstill when fans crowded around the hotel where he was staying when he stood at the balcony. But I wonder whether he can pull such a crowd if he were to perform in Nairobi.
