CAPTION STORY: DRC superstar Koffi Olomide has been named the cultural ambassador of his country earning him a diplomatic passport. Diamond Musica, a group from DRC based in Zimbabwe sent a congratulatory message via Facebook with the caption: “Congratulations to you Mopao Mokonzi Koffi Olomide Ambassador of Congolese culture since February 9, 2022… Thank you to the father of the Nation and to my country…
“Koffi Olomide The G.O.A.T” The group also showed a picture of Koffi Olomide holding his diplomatic passport. There are not many musicians who have been recognized in their countries through this way. Most of the time they are named cultural ambassadors but have nothing to show for it. Superstar Oliver Mtukudzi was only honoured with a National Hero status after he died but during his time he would queue with others at airports.
