Romy Jones, who is the brother to Diamond Platnumz has spoken out about how he made the singer famous.
In 2009, when Diamond Platnumz wasn’t known, Jones was one of the most sought-after radio presenters in Tanzania. He worked for one of the national radio stations and used the opportunity to make Diamond’s music known to people.
Reports had it that he had differences with the station for playing too much of his brother’s songs which eventually left him with no job.
In an interview with LilOmmy, Jones said before Diamond was famous, he had zero connections and took that chance to help his brother.
DIAMOND’S LIFE WAS ALWAYS ABOUT MUSIC BUT HE DIDN’T HAVE THE CONNECTIONS. I USED TO TAKE HIM TO PLACES. I MADE HIM FAMOUS.
Adding that:
WHEN HE WAS FAMOUS I WAS REALLY HAPPY.
Romy Jones is also vice president to Diamond’s Wasafi Records.
Early this year, Jones was rumoured to have been cheating on his wife with Tanzanian star Baraka The Prince’s girlfriend.
He spoke exclusively to Mpasho.co.ke explaining the issue and further asked for forgiveness:
