While some African and Tanzanian media and DJs are so corrupt and want artists to pay them to play their contents it is contrary to many American and European countries. News is that Diamond Platnumz was paid Tsh. 46 million by American BET(Black Entertainment Television) to air his hit song My Number 1 just for four days during the BET Awards last year, Diamond was one of the nominees in the category of Best International Act: Africa, however the award went to Nigerian Davido.
In a new interview on Amplifaya(Clouds fm) one of Diamond's managers Babu Tale revealed "For 4 days we were paid Tsh.46 million, it is because his song was shown on TV, But they directed us about all who deserved the money, this for producer, this for director, and that for editor and the musician(Diamond) had almost Tsh.19 million share. We didn't believe, Outside media are paying well" said Babu Tale
