‘I’m not coming to your show without a private jet

Diamond Platnumz has revealed that part of his rider is to fly him to the venue via a private jet. The Tanzanian singer said this during a press conference where he was asked about Davido’s contribution to his life.

“Davido is family to me and I respect his impact in my life. I am grateful for that,” he said.

He went on to narrate the strategies he took to win the hearts of East Africans.

“I remember when I was starting music, I was only singing in my hometown Tandale. After that, I got my breakthrough in the entire country (Tanzania) and then East Africa got to know me.”

Adding, “I had a strategy to breakthrough in the entire Africa. Right now when you get me to do a show, I have to do it in a stadium. I had to have a strategy to break through.”

Explaining why he has yet to do a major show in Nigeria, he said;

“I have not done a show in Nigeria for a long time because they like to underestimate people. When shows come, I used to tell them how much I wanted, if they refuse I tell them I am not coming.”

He explained;

“I will come via a private jet, if you know you can’t get me that, I will not come. I cannot lack money for food because you refuse to do that, I will eat at my mother’s house.”

“My first mission was to hit in Africa in a way that when you call me to any African country, I am able to fill stadiums. My second mission was to hit outside of the continent. You have to have a strategy.”
