Bongo Flava veteran Mr Nice has commended Diamond Platnumz, asserting that Diamond serves as the torchbearer of his musical legacy from the past.

Mr Nice shared his thoughts during an interview on the Jana na Leo TV show, reflecting on the current state of the music industry.

The Fagilia hitmaker expressed confidence that even in death, his fans would not miss him, as they could witness his essence through Diamond’s musical journey.

Mr Nice explained that Diamond’s current endeavors, including fashion choices, private jet travels, and global impact, resonate with experiences from Mr Nice’s own past.

“In my time, chartering a private jet for a show was normal. Boarding a plane alone and going to the United States was like going to the market and coming back for me. The things Diamond is doing now, even if I die, Mr Nice will continue to exist through Diamond,” he stated.

Defending Diamond’s choice to showcase his life on social media, Mr Nice asserted that when an artist reaches a certain stature, they must take specific actions to establish their greatness.

“People say, oh, Diamond is bragging, but he’s not bragging! This is his time, and these things are possible, not because he’s faking it, but because this is his moment. Whether you like it or not, Diamond is the one in the spotlight now. What can you do? Maybe hang yourself,” he remarked.

Mr Nice fondly recalled a time when he had substantial wealth, even casually carrying money in the trunk of his car. However, he acknowledged that times and circumstances have changed, and what was once normal may not be feasible now.

Expressing his aspirations for collaborations with emerging artists, Mr Nice specifically mentioned his desire to collaborate with Diamond Platnumz, recognizing him as a key figure in the current music landscape.
