By Anne Desdemona,“Teamo” hitmaker, Raymond Shaban, popular as Rayvanny, has quit Diamond Platnum’z Wasafi Record Label after 6 years. “It’s been six years since we started working together. My team, my family WCB wasafi. Love, and unity, have been very strong pillars of a team. I have learned a lot but we have also achieved a lot together,” expressed the singer through a voice-over that accompanied the heartfelt video.
The musician declares his desire to leave the chance for others to flourish just like he did as the basis for his exit, but wanting to grow and help others grow as his main motivation.
“You have helped me grow and now it’s my time to leave home and start new beginnings. The goal is growth but to also give a chance to others because when I leave, I’m also giving others a chance to get support. But I’m also living to help others since I was also helped to get to this point,” he added.
Rayvanny reflected on his accomplishments under the label, thanking them for making him the star that he is today.
“I was the first artist to win BET Awards, to perform on large platforms in the world such as MTV, Dubai expo, and many more. I have been the first artist to make a debut on billboard charts, and the first artist in East Africa to gain 100 million viewers on boom play. All this happened while we were working together,” expressed Rayvanny.
The singer paid respect to Diamond Platnumz, wishing him the very best in his future as well as God’s blessings.
“A lot of thanks to my family Wasafi, but most especially my brother Diamond Platnumz for giving me an opportunity for the world to see my God-given talent and for getting me where I am today,
“I have been able to help my family and also make a lot of achievements in my life. My brother Diamond Platnumz, I shall never lose the respect that I have for you. I really treasure your contribution and may God bless you,” he praises Diamond Platinum.
