Music journey
Mbosso’s music career took a significant turn on Thursday, February 6, 2025, when he officially confirmed his departure from Diamond Platnumz’s Wasafi Records. This followed his subtle removal of the ‘WCB’ tag from his Instagram bio, signalling his transition from being a signed artist to an independent solo act.
On February 6, 2025, while officially confirming Mbosso‘s exit, Diamond, in an interview with Millard Ayo, disclosed that Mbosso approached him to discuss his exit plans from the recording label, including the exit fee.
He went on to explain that they agreed amicably but also turned down his exit fee proposal because Mbosso, during his time at WCB, was hardworking and delivered wholeheartedly.
“Mbosso wiki mbili na nusu nyuma tumeongea na Mbosso na aliniomba aweze kujisimamia na nikampa baraka zangu zote. Mbosso ni mdogo wangu nikawambia Mbosso tumeishi vizuri na hatujawai gombana na wala hatujawai kwazana na kwa jinsi ulivyo niheshimu kwa kunipenda na tukapendana siwezi kukutoza hata shilingi na sijamtoza hata shilingi kumi,” Diamond explained.
The self-proclaimed Simba further narrated that the other reason why he waived Mbosso’s exit fee was that the Baikoko hitmaker is respectful and wise, and he is like his younger brother, adding that it would be unfair and shameful to charge him.
“Kwanza ninamshukuru kwa kutumia hekima. Unajua ni wasani wachachwe wanaweza kutumia hekima hiyo kwa sababu kwanza alivyokuja Mbosso alikuwa amekuja kulipa lakini nikwamwambia, bro, tumeishi vizuri nawe na kwa heshima uliyonipa siwezi nikakutoza chochote. Namna nilivyoishi na Mbosso, kumtoza hela ni aibu kwangu. Angekuwepo mtu mwingine ambaye hatujaheshimiana hela unatoa,” he explained.
The Bongo Flava star noted that Mbosso is currently managing himself.
“Zaidi ya hilo, ninafikiri mpaka sasa hivi tushakamilisha process na vitu vyake vyote tayari na ashaanza kujisimamia rasmi ata show kuja huku amekuja rasmi kama ameshaanza kujisimamamia,” he added.
Mbosso joined Diamond’s recording label in 2018 shortly after parting ways with Ya Moto Band.
