The comedian-turned-dancer joined the streaming platform on May 9, 2014, and so far, he has uploaded a total of 933 videos on his channel.

On the other hand, Diamond Platinumz’s channel boasts 3 billion total views
However, he still holds the title of the sub-Saharan artist with the most YouTube subscribers.
In June 2015, he made history by becoming the first artist in Sub-Saharan Africa to surpass 10 million subscribers on YouTube, earning him the prestigious Diamond Creator Award.
The “Jeje” hitmaker received the rare accolade during a recent visit to YouTube Headquarters in the United States, where he was recognized for this monumental digital milestone.
Since breaking into the music scene in 2010, Diamond has maintained his status as one of Africa’s top-performing artists, not just musically but also digitally.
His captivating music videos, collaborations with global stars, and well-informed use of social media have helped him build a massive fan base across the continent and beyond.
