He explained that on the premiere day, his DM went crazy, with people worldwide calling and sending him congratulatory messages.
He said he had a different experience working on the show. Unlike when he is shooting music videos, Diamond said the reality show took time.
“It was amazing doing the reality show. I wasn’t used to shooting shows. You know, music videos take a day or so. The show took like a month,” he said.
“Everything went perfectly, and they had a great team. It proved to the world that Africans could deliver something like the best. That experience changed me.”
