WCB boss Diamond Platnumz has detailed how he plans to celebrate if he wins the prestigious Grammy Award.
Diamond was speaking during an interview with the Grammy Awards website where he revealed that he aspires to win the award.
According to Diamond, if wins the ward, he will need a week to celebrate and it encompasses prayers. âI would start by spending the whole week praying instead of celebrating. A lot of artists have never had that chance. After a week, thatâs when Iâd celebrate. Iâd have a proper performance at the stadium for free because everyone would want to see the trophy,” said Diamond.
“It wouldnât just be my achievement, but Africaâs achievement. As long as you black, itâs our achievement. Everybody can come, take a picture with it, post it to social media, and show the chance you had with it,â he added.
The Grammy Awards are the most prestigious awards. Held annually, they recognize the most accomplished artists from varied backgrounds based on an internal voting system.
The Recording Academy went on to acknowledge that the categories previously held back various artists from being feted. In early 2020, the Academy announced new changes noting that the 63rd Awards will have the ‘Best Urban Contemporary Album’ category will be named ‘Best Progressive RnB Album’ to appropriately categorize and describe the sub-genre. ‘Best Rap and Sang Performance’ will also change to ‘Best Melodic Rap Performance,’ as well as ‘Best Latin Pop Album’ and ‘Best Latin Rock Album’ are also recent changes.
With over just 10 years in the music industry, Diamond is now among the most successful musician on the continent. The singer is touted to win a future Grammy Award after penetrating the American popular music culture.
Meanwhile, even as he sets his sights on Grammy wins, his sister and WCB signee Darleen recently welcomed a new bundle of joy.
Taking to Instagram, the new uncle Simba noted he was well pleased to be blessed with a niece. Queen Darleen and husband Isihaka welcomed their first daughter Balqis Isihaka on the 10th of October 2020.
