Thursday, 15 December 2022 – Bongo star Naseeb Abdul Juma aka Diamond Platnumz has set a new record on the YouTube video streaming platform.
Diamond has become the first sub-Saharan artist to reach two billion views on YouTube.
As of Thursday, December 15, the singer’s videos had been viewed 2.0003B times on the network.
“Diamond Platnumz has passed a total of two billion views on YouTube. He is the first sub-Saharan artist to reach this milestone,” Diamond WCB’s label celebrated via Instagram.
Apart from music, the Bongo star has also been named among the richest musicians in Africa.

“Sometimes search for me in Google to know my worth”, Diamond wrote on his Instagram page, “before you put me on your rich list!”

On Instagram, the Bongo star currently has 15.5 million followers while following only 1330 accounts.
