Tanzanian musician Naseeb Abdul Juma alias Diamond Platinumz is one of the most celebrated artists in his home country and Africa as a continent.
He is famed for elevating the “Bongo Flava” industry beyond East Africa to feature collaborations with artists from around the world, including the USA.
Ranked among the highest earning musicians on the African continent, Diamond is not shy to splash a few bucks on his clothing and expensive cars.
Diamond has collaborated with some of the top artists in Africa including multiple time BET Award winner Burna Boy, Fally Ipupa and the legendary Kofi Olomide. This alone, is a testament to his levels as an artist.
Cars
Diamond boasts a luxurious fleet of cars worth in excess of Ksh100 million and he is not afraid to share images and videos of his fleet with his fans on social media.
On July 14, 2021, the WCB President announced that he had received his new car, a blue 2021 Rolls Royce Cullinan with zero mileage.
“I received my Rolls Royce Cullinan 2021 zero kilometres today, what a Blessed day,” he wrote on his Instagram page.
As Rolls-Royce’s first and only sport utility vehicle, the ultra-luxurious Cullinan boasts a twin-turbocharged 6.75-litre V12 engine with a 563 horsepower. The beast has a nine-speed automatic transmission mated to an all-wheel drive system.
According to car website Carbuzz, the Rolls Royce Cullinan goes for around $382,000 (Ksh41.3 million). However, the amount may be higher depending on the amount of custom features the buyer needs.
The price may go above the Ksh41.3 million if custom taxes and duties are factored in.

Charges per show
