Tanzanian singer Diamond Platnumz has penned a message of appreciation to his fans after the video to his new tune ‘Yatapita’ clocked over one million views in just 17 hours.

A thankful Platnumz saluted his fans for always vibing with his music, making sure he sets and breaks his own records.

“Thank you for 1 million views in 17 hour.

“Nawashkuru kwa Mapokezi yenu makubwa na Upendo wenu kwangu… Shukran kwa Kila aliyeshiriki kufanikisha Video Hii ya #Yatapita InshaAllah Mwenyez Mungu atubariki sote na Kutufungulia kila jema Tuliombalo 🙏🏼," 

Currently, the video is trending at number one in more than 5 countries among them; Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Oman, Dubai, the UK, Germany, and Qatar.

The Yatapita song encourages men to keep on hustling no matter the situation.

The WCB Wasafi CEO and founder added that men go through a lot when they are not financially stable urging women to always be patient with their partners.

He added that most men desire to provide for their girlfriends but sometimes lack of finances put them in a tight corner.

“Wimbo huu ukawatie Moyo na kuwafariji wote ambapo tunapitia changamoto mbalimbali za Kimaisha, InshaAllah Mwaka Huu Mwenyez Mungu atujaalie tuweze,” the star added.

While promoting the song, Platnumz opted to walk his fans down memory lane, reminiscing on the day he was dumped for being broke.

However, despite hitting a million views in 17 hours, Platnumz failed to break his own record of reaching the milestone in less than 8 hours, based on the fact that his collaboration with Koffi Olomide #Waah accumulated over a million views in 8 hours.

The #Waah audio also managed to hit 100K views within 1 hour of being uploaded on YouTube, a record that was broken by Hamonize’s song Attitude ft Congolese Musician Awilo Longomba and H Baba after reaching 100K views within 44 Minutes.
