Jamaican dancehall deejay, Macka Diamond yesterday (March 15) celebrated receiving the keys to the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, in the United States, after Mayor John Cranley proclaimed March 12 ‘Macka Diamond Day’.

Taking to Instagram to share the good new, Macka Diamond captioned a video of herself holding a framed proclamation certificate in hand, stating: “Help me celebrate again my #moneydiamonds. I now hold the key to #cincinnati March 12 2021 is now #MACKADIAMONDDAY yayyyy thx to all my #moneydiamonds”.

Not quite sure what to make of her good fortune, Macka Diamond said in an with Irie Fm’s Music News on Monday that, when she first learned she would be receiving the keys to the city, she thought it was a joke.

However, on arriving to a ‘Macka Diamond Day’ show, which had been put on in her honour to celebrate the day, she was pleasantly surprised to see the number of people who had come out to support her.

“I feel good, I feel great,” she added.

While the Dye Dye singer is eagerly awaiting the world to return to some level of normalcy so she can proceed with her musical career, she is appreciative of the recognition given to her by the city of Cincinnati.
