What you need to know:

  • After his huge hit "Nasema Nawe", which he featured Khadija Kopa, he is now featuring on Nay wa Mitego’s track "Pesa au Mapenzi" (Money or Love).

You may remember Nay wa Mitego from a song he did with Diamond, "Muziki Gani", about a year ago.

The track is still popular in East Africa . Now they have paired up yet again, giving their input on the present-day predicament that’s been heavy on the mind of those in relationships.

Saying that there’s no artiste busier than Diamond Platnumz in East Africa is hardly giving credit to the man.

After his huge hit "Nasema Nawe", which he featured Khadija Kopa, he is now featuring on Nay wa Mitego’s track "Pesa auMapenzi".

The duo have been pushing out video promotions the past week on Instagram and Facebook featuring other Tanzanian celebrities.

The videos are light-natured, and the characters talk about what they think determines satisfaction in a relationship: emotional connection, physical capabilities, or financial muscle.

The videos have been getting thousands of views, a piece and are very hilarious. There is a down-side however; if you don’t understand Swahili – Tanzanian slang, to be exact – you are simply floating when watching them.

However, it goes to show the creativity and aggressiveness of the marketing team behind the brand Diamond Platnumz. Have a listen and determine what you think about it.
