Diamond Platnumz, the award-winning Tanzanian musician, has stated that he has purchased his own helicopter, just days after making millions at Kasarani Stadium during the Azimio la Umoja finally rally.

On Wednesday, August 10, the Jeje singer announced it via his Instagram stories. In addition, the music mogul thanked God for helping him reach the milestone of owning his own aeroplane.

Sharing the good news through his social media pages, Diamond Platnumz wrote;

God is good. I bought me a helicopter today

Platnumz also revealed in July that he had purchased a private plane, months after first announcing his intention to do so.

Chibu Dangote opened up about his personal life in an interview with DW Africa, talking about his current romantic situation and his most recent purchase, a private plane.

Chibu Dangote has stated that he is not involved in any relationships, despite rumours that he is dating his signee Zuchu.

“Sometimes for someone like me who came from the streets, when you buy a car worth like $1,000,000. What for? You have to do that, if not they will never value you, someone else will look like he is the real deal and you are not. In fact, I have just bought a private jet,” Diamond disclosed.

In May 2022, the Jeje hitmaker revealed that plans were underway to acquire his private jet, and with his recent statement, that has already happened.

Many Kenyans said that the short interval between performing in Kenya and buying the chopper was not coincidental. Here is what they had to say:

Nick Klaus: “Money does not like noise. That is why they don’t play music inside the bank.”

Aricco Daudi: “This is definitely that same money he was paid Kenya as Obinna and Eric are still wasting data on who has more money than the other.”

Triza Wainaina: “He was given that money by Azimio.”

Mamake Blessing Na Adrielle: “On Saturday he performed In Kenya, for Azimio and today, Wednesday he bought himself a chopper.”

Petronillar Kitati: “With the Azimio millions I guess, congratulations Father Abraham.”

Liz Toby: “Congratulations Diamond! Enjoy your hard work. They would still call you names if you’re poor!”

The Tanzanian music industry has some elite and up-and-coming artists, this article will focus solely on the top four musicians Fast-rising in Tanzania.

There are so many who couldn’t stay in the game because it changed and they found themselves out of time and out of touch with the industry. This flexibility is vital in the entertainment industry these days.

On the other hand, new artists are introduced in the industry daily, something that has the old celebs lacking sleep because these new artists are young and have zeal and hunger for success in music that threatens their peace of mind.

Up and coming artists have been picked up by famous musicians and record labels and these new artists never disappoint. In this article, I’m going to introduce you to four up and coming artists who are reigning in the Tanzanian music scene today;

• RELATED: Top 10 songs from Tanzanian’s hit makers in 2021
• RELATED: The Best collaborations to come from Nigerian and Tanzanian artists

1. Zuhura Othman Soud (Zuchu)

At a young age, Zuhura was successful in entering the Tanzanian music scene, apart from Havard admission and maybe getting a job at Apple, there’s nothing harder than joining the WCB label. Regardless of that, the managers of that record label got to hear her and sign this young woman.

The majority of people thought that she was a bad signee and an addition to the label until she shocked them by gaining more than 100,000 subscribers and being nominated for different awards.

This beautiful young lady who hails from Zanzibar is a daughter of a famous Taarab singer, Khadija Kopa. Right now if you mention Tanzanian music without mentioning her name you will be missing an important musician with songs like Raha, Sukari, and Cheche which she did with her boss Diamond Platnumz, songs that are making waves and are ahead in streams.

2. Ibraah

Like the majority of African artists who go through tough times first then later on succeed, the same happened to this artist who started out as a hawker, which is why even now as a person who has made it, he still calls himself ‘Chinga‘ which is Swahili for a hawker.

He is a famous artist under the label of Konde Gang, under Harmonize. He came into the music scene like a joke, we first heard him on One Night Stand which he did with Harmonize, and then he released Nitachelewa, Nimekubali, and Jipinde which disturbed our radios for a long.

With Ibraah’s hunger for success, he seems like an artist who will last for some time in the industry.

3. Thomas Gration Bishanga (Tommy Flavour)

With his voice and the way he harmonizes behind the mic, this ladies’ man is one of those people whose opportunity came when he was ready to grab it.

Tommy Flavour is under Kings Music Label which is owned by Ali Kiba and he has been his mentor for a long and that’s why if you look at his verse and singing style it is like they are quite similar.

‘Omukwano‘ which featured his boss Ali Kiba made his Tanzania’s favorite, and if it was me, I would have ended my music career there because I would have worried if I could release a song that could outdo Omukwano’s success.

4. Cosmas Paul Mfoy (Rapcha)

‘Naitwa Rapcha, naitwa naniii….’ that’s how he starts his songs, this young artist who was born in 1999 is busy hustling with big artists in the game.

He started out as the majority of artists who start on social media these days when producer P Funky Majani saw one of his clips on Instagram and decided to check him out and now he has a hit song called ‘Lisa‘ which is a very creative story.

Rapcha‘s future in the music industry is brighter just like the majority of the artists who have been discovered through social media.

While the big boys in the music industry keep getting bigger, the up-and-coming creatives are also honing their crafts so that they can fly as high as the big boys.

It is undeniable that when you mention bangers in the African music industry without mentioning some from Tanzania, you will be talking about something else, not music since in 2021 alone Tanzania gave the world so many hits, in this piece I’m gonna share the top ten hits that Tanzanian artists gave the world;

1. Zuchu -Sukari

At such a young age, Zuchu got an opportunity that a lot of musicians in Tanzania think is a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she joined Wasafi Classic Baby Label (WCB).

Zuchu being among the two female artists from that label had the hunger to show Tanzanians and the world what she has. This year has made us dance and sing along with her hit song ‘Sukari’ which has garnered so many views on YouTube and is frequently played on radios and left and right in ceremonies.

2. Harmonize ft H Baba & Awilo Longomba – Attitude

Famously known as Tembo or Kondeboy, this year he brought us this Sebene song featuring Awilo Longomba, the music legend from Congo. You will feel lacking in nightclubs if this song is not played.

The uniqueness in dancing styles and attire in the music video is what helped this song gain massive airwaves.

3. ALIKIBA Ft Kings Music – Ndombolo

With his own children that he signed under Kings Music, like Kituga and Abdu Kiba (who is his young brother), the king of vocals gave us this danceable hit.

He did an amazing marketing program with video clips circulating of people dancing to the song before the official release, so when it was officially released we were ready to dance and make this a banger.

4. Mbosso ft Diamond Platnumz – Baikoko

Mbosso who came from the Yamoto band before joining WCB always gives us the best coastal tunes in his love songs.

This year he featured his boss and owner of WCB, Diamond Platnumz in the release of his song ‘Baikoko‘ a song that coastal women and girls dance to during ceremonies.

Up to this day, it is the most-watched song on YouTube with millions of views.

• RELATED: The Best collaborations to come from Nigerian and Tanzanian artists

5. Barnaba ft ALIKIBA – Cheketua

Barnaba who is a writer and a music nerd who has a unique melody in his songs decided to feature AliKiba in this song that celebrates weddings and marriage in general. And that’s why it doesn’t come as a shock when in their videos they are seen in black and white suits like penguins.

Before the release of the song, we thought Barnaba was getting married again because the pictures from the video shoot were spread before the release of the video, maybe it was their publicity stunt gaining traction.

6. Marioo – For you

We were so used to his heartbreak and lamenting songs, and so this year he really shocked us when he released a love song.

It seems like there is a gurl who has captured his heart to the extent he has forgotten the heartbreak he faced in ‘Inatosha’ and ‘Unanionea’.

‘For You’ is a song that is in every top ten and top twenty on radios. To the extent that today if you don’t mention Mario in any top ten music list in Tanzania, then you are clueless about the Tanzanian music industry.

7. Diamond Platnumz – Naanzaje

I could have been shocked if Simba wasn’t gonna roar the whole year in the jungle, it could have been unfair to his fans who love good music.

Musically his 2020 was different from this year but he still gave us the best hit song in ‘Naanzaje‘.

If you just hear this banger once, you will dream about it for weeks to come, that’s how good it is.

8. Maua Sama – Zai

Maua has been breaking her own records since she started her music career, it’s like she only compares and competes with who she was yesterday.

She gave us a national anthem with her song ‘Iokote’ and this year she has left our jaws wide open as we move to ‘Zai’.

9. Anjela – Nobody

She is the first female artist to be signed under Konde Gang, and she has tried to show us how talent in music.

It is not easy for the first song an artist releases to be a hit song but it has been different for Anjela, ‘No body’ has been a song that hit the nail. Many predicted her fall but she is still in the race and going big.

10. Nandy – Naanzaje

She calls herself African Princess, and Tanzania got to know her in 2016 with her unique voice and beauty. From Tanzania House of Talent (THT) under Ruge Mutahaba who was the mastermind in the music industry.

Her first song was ‘Nagusagusa‘ but in 2021 ‘Naanzaje’ has forever marked her as the only African princess in the music industry.

Here are the Top Collaborations between Nigerian Artists and other African artists Of 2021 So Far.

Ke Star remix- Focalistic ft Davido

Although this song wasn’t Davido’s first time on an Amapiano beat, this is his sweetest. Focalistic who had been dominating South Africa with “Ke Star” featured Davido on the remix early in the year, and the end result is nothing short of perfection.

Davido’s verse made the song a hit not just in Nigeria but in South Africa also.

Yaba Bukulu remix- DJ Tarico, Preck & Nelson Tivane ft Burna Boy

Burna Boy is one of the best choices for a feature because he knows how to spice up a song and this is the case of “Yaba Buluku” remix.

His verse is calm but builds up tension that only dance can release.

Coming- Naira Marley ft Busiswa

Naira Marley was a genius when he created the idea for this song. In his usual freakiness, he teams up with South African powerhouse, Busiswa for the amapiano styled song, “Coming”

The song despite its very vulgar lyrics (something to be expected from Niara Marley) topped charts right from the day it was released.

Sere- Olakira ft Zuchu

Olakira was one of 2020’s biggest stars thanks to his “Maserati” song. He attempts to continue that streak with “Sere” featuring Tanzanian singer, Zuchu.

The song might not have been big like “Masarati“, it is however getting its deserved attention on the airwaves, even amassing more than 4 million views on youtube.

Squander remix- Falz, Niniola ft Kamo Mphela, Mpura, Sayfar

Falz and Niniola added the Nigerian amapiano craze with the dance anthem, “Squander” in 2020. In 2021, Falz spiced things up by featuring artists from South Africa where the sound was birthed on the remix.

Forever remix- Gyakie ft Omah Lay

Gyakie began gaining attention with her love ballad, “Forever” and it even became a big hit of Tik-Tok but when she featured Omah Lay on the remix, it became bigger. Let’s just say, Gyakie and Omah Lay ooze chemistry that made the song more lovable.
