Am Likely To Lose Over Shs2.8 Billion This Year – Diamond Platnumz Cries Out

Tanzania artiste Naseeb Abdul Juma also known by his stage name Diamond Platnumz on the way to lose approximately Ksh80 million (Ugx2.8 billion) this very year 2020 due to the suspension of social gathering because of covid-19 outbreak.

The ‘Tetema’ Hit maker, who is said to charge upto Ksh1 million (Ugx35 million) for a performance in East Africa, said he had a line-up of over 30 concerts which have all been cancelled or carried over to a later date.

During an interview with Mvumo TV, Diamond expressed sadness on the major interference of the music industry caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

“Entertainment depends on gatherings. I had shows in Europe, America and Africa which have all been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. That as a musician means loss of income to me personally and to the label,” Diamond explained.

Because of the major disruption, the artiste noted that he’s likely to upset various things including payment of salaries because in the end, some of the employees working for Wasafi Classic Baby (WCB) do not depend on concerts and have to be paid monthly salaries, according to Nairobi news.
