Diamond Platnumz has officially addressed Mbosso’s departure from Wasafi Records, confirming yet another major exit from the label.
Mbosso, born Mbwana Yusuf Kilungi, joined Wasafi in 2018 and has been among its most successful artists. While rumors of his departure had been circulating, Diamond has now clarified that the transition is nearly complete.
According to Baba Levo, a close associate of Diamond, Mbosso is leaving without any financial obligations—a gesture of goodwill acknowledging his deep respect for Diamond and the Wasafi leadership. The label is also set to sign nine new artists in 2025.

Previous Departures from Wasafi Records
Mbosso now joins other former Wasafi artists, including Harmonize, Rayvanny, and Rich Mavoko.
Harmonize paid Tsh500 million (Ksh22.4 million) to exit his contract, while Rayvanny settled Tsh1.3 billion (Ksh68.9 million) for his release. Rich Mavoko’s departure, however, was marred by controversy, leading to a strained relationship with the label.
