In a recent report released by Top Charts Africa on their Instagram page, Diamond has been crowned the most streamed African artist on YouTube with over 2.14 billion streams. The Tanzanian artist has also broken records as the most subscribed African artist in sub-Saharan Africa, with an impressive 7.65 million subscribers. This is a great feat for the talented East African artist, who has been making waves in the African music industry for several years.

Following closely behind Diamond is Nigeria's very own Burna Boy with over 2.05 billion streams. Burna Boy has been making a name for himself in the global music industry, earning himself a Grammy Award for his album "Twice as Tall." This achievement has undoubtedly propelled him to the top of the charts and has made him a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
