Diamond Platnumz comfortably sits on the table summit of the most streamed artists ever in Africa on YouTube.
The latest report from Top Charts Africa confirms that multi-award winning TZ star has over 2.14 billion streams on YouTube, followed by Nigeria’s Burna Boy whose channel boasts over 2.05 billion streams.
Wizkid comes in at No.3 with over 1.67 billion streams followed by Congolese singing sensation Fally Ipupa, who has over 1.40 billion streams.
In fifth place is Nigeria’s Davido with over 1.29 billion streams followed by his counterpart Ckay who has over 1.15 billion streams.
Flavour comes in seventh position with over 1.10 billion streams closely followed by Psquare with over 1.09. The 22-year-old Rema is in ninth position with over 1.06 billion streams followed by Tekno who has 964 million.
While Diamond was the only East African artiste in the list, Nigerians took the lion’s share in the rankings. Our very own, the Grammy Award Nominee and 2015 BET Viewers Choice winner, Eddy Kenzo is nowhere near the list.
Born Naseeb Abdul, Diamond has retained his space in the music industry with his growth being steady and successful. The entrepreneur-cum-recording artist has gained a massive following in East and Central Africa.
He became the first Africa-based artist to reach a combined total of one billion views on YouTube.
Having started his music career at a young age and while doing odd jobs, Diamond has made a name and a huge brand for himself over the years.
The 33-year-old has received multiple awards on top of numerous endorsements and brand ambassadorial roles.
