Bongo flava sensation Diamond Platnumz earns about US$48,000 (Ksh6.7 million) a month from his YouTube channel, which has over 7 million subscribers.
The figure could be even higher as he also gets a percentage of the YouTube revenue generated by artists like Mbosso Khan, Lava Lava and Zuchu who are signed to his Wasafi label.
The amount doesn’t even include the money he makes from other streaming platforms such as Spotify, Itunes, Boomplay, Audiomack, which actually generate more money than YouTube, according to several artist confessions such as Harmonize, Nadia Mukami, Diamond.
