Famous Tanzania superstar Nandy has just revealed that she almost got signed to Diamond's Wasafi Records.

"No, I have never been refused nor turned down by any record label. Never ever, if I am being honest...." started off the new mom.

"The only time something almost like that happened... there is this one time that this record label, Wasafi Records was to sign me but then I was doing a show, Tecno on The Stage and when I can back I found myself signed to a different record label THT so I couldn't sign with them.

At first, I was supposed to be signed to Wasafi Records but then I found myself on THT.

After that, a lot of record labels did approach me but I never signed with either of them because there is a specific level as an artist I wanted to get to...." finished off Nandy.

The singer officially launched her record label dubbed The African Princess, on Monday in an event that was graced by members of the fourth Estate and a few members from her team. She mentioned that she will be introducing her first signee on January 19, 2023.
