David Lutalo: I Sing Better Than Diamond Platnumz
David Lutalo says his decision to sing in Swahili was never about following trends or borrowing from other artistes.
The singer recently explained that he taught himself the language as part of a long-term plan to connect with music lovers across East Africa.
As his Swahili songs continue to gain attention, some fans have drawn comparisons between him and Tanzanian superstar Diamond Platnumz.
Lutalo, however, believes those comparisons miss the point.
He insists that his music journey is different and says the nickname “Diamond Lutalo” fails to capture his identity as an artist.
The singer even went as far as claiming that he sings better than the Bongo Flava star.
For Lutalo, expanding into Swahili music represents growth and ambition rather than imitation. He says his success comes from hard work, originality, and a commitment to developing his craft.
