Kenyan artist Akothee is the first Kenyan artist and so far the only one, to have made a collabo with highly celebrated Bongo star Diamond Platnumz
Akothee featured Diamond Platnumz in her big 2016 big hit, 'Sweet love' that fully introduced the mother of five into the music industry.
Before the collabo, Akothee had recorded a number of songs but she was not close to her great music fame she gained after working with the 'Kanyaga' hitmaker.
Speculation which emerged after the collabo said that Akothee had parted ways with Ksh5,000,000 to convince Diamond for the collabo.
At one point, during an interview with K24, Akothee was asked if she had paid Sh2 million for the collabo. Madam Boss who could not deny or agree to pay for the collabo only said Sh2 million was little money for the project which was by then doing great.
In a recent interview, Diamond said that he worked with Akothhee because she was focused and had passion with what she was doing, adding that he was not paid for it.
Diamond went further to say that he is open to collabos with any other Kenyan artist so long as he or she has a talent and is willing to work.
"Akothee did not pay me, I worked with her because she is a person who desires to achieve. (Akothee hakunilipa.Tulifanya tu nyimbo kwa sababu ni mtu ambaye ana moyo wa kufanya kitu)," said Diamond
