He said,
"This one is not noise, we are seeing the money live. The least he gave anyone he met was $100. He even gave policemen $100 each, and that’s more than their monthly salary!" Deeone said.
The comedian in the video further criticised Nigerian artistes, accusing many of them of living "fake lives" and making empty promises.
He stated that, unlike some Nigerian celebrities who only show off on social media but fail to genuinely empower others, Diamond Platnumz demonstrated true generosity without any form of clout chasing.
He added,
"Some of our artistes will promise to give you something, and until you post it online, they won’t fulfill it. Some will even just look away. But Diamond is representing East Africa with real cash. I didn’t believe he was this rich.
