Quotes

• “I was young and naive, comma, I didn't know my worth so I let them decide my fate, including what to pay me, .I never questioned. I didn't understand the business and, were still, I lacked someone to offer me the much needed guidance on how to invest.I have paid a heavy price for my naivety.”
• “I would love to have the kind of lifestyle Diamond Platinum leads, but without being under any management, every time I think of being under my management, my blood pressure rises, I prefer being an independent artist because I believe my previous management to some level exploited me and I am to blame because I let them do that.”
• “There are good promoters in the industry like Diamond Platnumz’s promoter and manager. Ali Kiba’s manager and promoter are equally good. There are people (managers and promoters) whom I fear. Back in my days I did so well musically but not financially. They made me fear artistes’ management to an extent where if I get one today, I must scrutinize him well – just to know how the artistes that he managed are faring.”
• “My stage name is bigger than what I own. I was used. I was hurt since the beginning. I got very little from album sales of my music. If journalists can visit my place and see the deplorable condition I am living in, Tanzanians would open their eyes (and see the exploitation artistes are exposed to).”
