Nigerian comedian Deeone recently stirred controversy by claiming that Tanzanian music star Diamond Platnumz is wealthier than both Davido and Burna Boy combined. The bold statement quickly went viral, prompting fans and industry watchers to question its accuracy. Let’s break down the facts.
Net Worth Breakdown: Diamond vs. Davido & Burna Boy
Diamond Platnumz
According to multiple sources, Diamond Platnumz’s net worth in 2025 is estimated at around $10 million. This wealth comes from his successful music career, endorsement deals, and business ventures like Wasafi Classic Baby (WCB) record label, Wasafi Bet, and Wasafi Media
Davido
Davido’s net worth in 2025 is estimated between $90 million and $110 million, according to various sources . His income streams include music sales, streaming revenue, endorsements, and investments.
Burna Boy
Burna Boy’s net worth in 2025 is estimated at $90 million, derived from his music career, endorsements, and international tours .
The Verdict
Combining Davido and Burna Boy’s net worths gives a total of approximately $180 million to $200 million, significantly surpassing Diamond Platnumz’s estimated $10 million net worth. Therefore, Deeone’s claim that Diamond is richer than both Nigerian artists combined is not supported by available data.
Regional Influence vs. Global Reach
While Diamond Platnumz is a major figure in East Africa, his financial standing does not eclipse that of Davido and Burna Boy, who have achieved substantial international success and wealth. Deeone’s assertion appears to be more of a provocative statement than a fact-based comparison. Based on current estimates, Diamond Platnumz’s net worth is considerably less than the combined wealth of Davido and Burna Boy.
