Currently, the video is trending at number one in more than 5 countries among them; Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Oman, Dubai, the UK, Germany, and Qatar.
The Yatapita song encourages men to keep on hustling no matter the situation.
The WCB Wasafi CEO and founder added that men go through a lot when they are not financially stable urging women to always be patient with their partners.
He added that most men desire to provide for their girlfriends but sometimes lack of finances put them in a tight corner.
“Wimbo huu ukawatie Moyo na kuwafariji wote ambapo tunapitia changamoto mbalimbali za Kimaisha, InshaAllah Mwaka Huu Mwenyez Mungu atujaalie tuweze,” the star added.
While promoting the song, Platnumz opted to walk his fans down memory lane, reminiscing on the day he was dumped for being broke.
