Award-winning singer and songwriter Diamond Platnumz has always dominated the social media space in Tanzania and across East Africa for years now.

However, a fellow Tanzanian called Jay Mondy has overtaken the WCB President when it comes to YouTube numbers in the whole of East Africa.

A cross-check done by this writer indicates that Jaymondy is the most-streamed East African personality on YouTube, with over 5 billion cumulative views.

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.

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.
