Bongo Flavor star Diamond Platnumz has been praised by fellow country man, rapper Billnas, for the efforts he puts for the grown of music industry in Tanzania.
Billnas in an interview with Wasafi TV shared on Instagram on Friday, said Diamond does not deserve to be attacked and mocked by other artists because he is doing a great job in the music industry that all of them stand to benefit.
He said Diamond is investing heavily in media, and indication he means good for the industry.
"Am one of the people who respect what Diamond is doing and the efforts he puts in in investing in our arts, he has a TV station, all these is to see our music industry grows. He would be using this money to buy lorries, but he is instead investing in arts. (Mimi ni moja ya watu ambao naheshimu sana juhudi za Diamond na uwekazaji anaofanya kwenye Sanaa yetu kama hivi amefungua Tv yote kutaka sanaa yetu izidi kukua kwani Pesa anayoweka kwenye mziki ata akitaka kumiliki mabasi hashindwi lakini amechagua kuwekeza kwenye sanaa)," Billnas said as quoted by Mbagala TV
More so, the rapper added that he cannot negatively talk about Diamond.
"I am seeing his efforts and for that, I never comment negatively about Diamond, I respect him and his efforts. (Mimi naona juhudi za Diamond hivyo siwezi kuwa na comments mbaya kuhusu Diamond kwani Naheshimu juhudi zake).
While most fans love Diamond, it is a different case with some of the Tanzanian artists and even some media houses including Clouds Media, which does not play the singer's songs on its TV and radio stations.
