Tanzanian musical stars Diamond Platnumz and Zuchu have raised eyebrows after their recent performance.

While performing alongside each other, Zuchu posed a question to Diamond, to confirm whether he’s ready to marry her.

Diamond started off by asking Zuchu whether she would sire a child with him.

‘Ati unanipenda mi, mmh, unanitaka pia, mmh, unaniamini, na utanizalia?,” Diamond Harmonized their song with the words.

Popular Tanzanian singer Zuchu has hidden all her social media posts indefinitely. While her Instagram page currently displays “No Posts Yet,” it indicates that 26 posts have been archived.

Archiving allows users to temporarily remove their posts from public view but retain the ability to restore them later. This move coincides with the start of the holy month of Ramadan, which began on March 11th, 2024, and is expected to end on April 10th.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and a time for spiritual reflection, fasting, and prayer. It’s possible that Zuchu is taking this opportunity to focus on her religious observances and personal time during this sacred period.

But Zuchu has also been making fishy moves recently, especially after her break-up with Diamond Platnumz; which was taken as clout.

Recent apology following performance controversy

In a separate development, Zuchu recently issued an apology to Tanzanians after facing a performance ban in Zanzibar. The incident stemmed from an altercation at a show in Kendwa Rocks, where she used language deemed offensive by the National Arts Council of Tanzania (Basata).

Her apology reads: “I would like to sincerely apologize for any ‘insult’ during my performance in Zanzibar. My apologies to everyone who was bothered by my actions.”

Tanzanian singer Zuchu has been suspended from performing in Zanzibar for six months, effective March 5th, 2024, by the Zanzibar Arts, Census, Film and Cultural Council (BASSFU).

This decision follows concerns raised by BASSFU regarding aspects of Zuchu’s performance at the Full Moon Kendwa Night concert that were deemed “inconsistent with local cultural norms and social beliefs.”

Following the online circulation of visual content from the concert, BASSFU launched an investigation and confirmed violations of cultural norms. This led to the suspension, KSh 1 million fine, and the discovery that Zuchu had not registered with the council nor secured the necessary permits for the event.

Zuchu has since issued a formal apology, clarifying that her performance was intended for entertainment and not meant to disrespect the people of Zanzibar. She expressed her regret for any confusion or negative impact caused by her performance and further pledged to work with her team to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

“I would like to use this opportunity to apologize for the words I used in the rhyme that caused chaos at the Full Moon Party-Kendwa Beach Zanzibar festival recently.

I know that the words have brought confusion to many of you and brought a negative meaning to society and my fans. I intended to bring good entertainment and happiness to all my fans.

It’s not my goal to mislead, erode morals, or cause trouble for anyone. I am taking a pledge today to work with my team to ensure that such incidents do not happen again in future concerts.

I apologize again to the community and the arts council BASATA who are my guardians.” Zuchu stated.

This incident underscores the importance of cultural sensitivity in artistic expression, particularly when performing across different regions with distinct cultural norms.

Tanzanian artist Zuchu has been suspended from performing in Zanzibar for six months, effective immediately. This decision comes after the Zanzibar Arts, Census, Film and Cultural Council (BASSFU) deemed certain aspects of her performance at the Full Moon Kendwa Night concert to be “inconsistent with local cultural norms and social beliefs.”

According to the council, Zuchu’s videos and images caused uproar among Zanzibar residents who considered them not in line with their cultural norms and social beliefs.

BASSFU launched an investigation following online circulation of visual content from the concert, which sparked public concern. The investigation confirmed violations of cultural norms, leading to the suspension and a KSh 1 million fine.

Furthermore, BASSFU discovered that Zuchu had not registered with the council, as required for performing artists, and lacked the necessary permits for the event.

Zuchu’s label, Wasafi Records, has issued an official apology, clarifying that her performance was intended for entertainment purposes and not meant to disrespect the people of Zanzibar.

Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan has responded to reports that her connection with her baby daddy, Diamond Platnumz, is the reason behind his split from musician Zuchu, on air.

The South African socialite, who was speaking to a blogger, flatly denied the rumors, pointing out that the couple has been experiencing issues for some time.

She added that Zuchu has been ending their relationship a lot.  She added that shes not interested in Diamond anymore and that she’s not in a romantic relationship with him;

“Simtaki Diamond, na simrudii baba Tee. Zuchu na Diamond wamekuwa na matatizo hata before. Zuchu kutoa taarifa kwamba amemaliza uhusiano kwa sababu ya video yangu na Diamond ni uwongo. Zuchu anaondoka kwa Diamond kila wiki na kurudi. Anaendelea kukana kwamba yupo katika mapenzi. Hana uaminifu na hata mama yake amesema mara nyingi kwamba hampitii uhusiano wake na Diamond. Wana matatizo na siwezi kuwa tatizo. Wamenichukua kama lengo rahisi wanapopata kuvunjika. Tumekwisha enda mbele na mimi nimeolewa na yeye amekuwa na wanawake wengine kabla ya Zuchu,” Zari shared.

The accusations come after Zari was spotted holding hands with Diamond while promoting his song. Shortly after this, Zuchu and Zari’s husband showed vengeance as they both rebuked the actions.

Female musician on WCB Wasafi label Zuchu has refuted her claim from two days ago that she is single and that she and Diamond Platnumz have already broken up.
Zuchu said she and Diamond are like a newborn and sleep since they can’t split ways today or tomorrow during a full moon party show in Zanzibar.
In contrast to their announcements two days ago regarding their separation, pictures and videos from their event in Zanzibar last weekend feature the two in close-up poses.
Zuchu made the decision to address their detractors while they were still performing, warning them that they would have to wait an eternity if they stayed up hoping Diamond would leave her side.

“Ila wacha tutume taarifa kwa upande wa pili si ndio? Wanaohisi watamchukua [Diamond], nawaona mnamaliza Miungu, mnamaliza mikao na utundu, huyu kwangu hapa hatoki hata mmpe mkun*d*,” Zuchu stated.

The two have been in a controversial relationship for a long time. Tanzanian musical star Diamond had stated that he doesn’t fancy getting attached to a woman, since he believed that getting attached would pull him back in his musical career. This makes the relationship between himself & Zuchu seem like a hoax

Following the announcement of their separation by Zuchu, artist Diamond Platnumz made a public attempt to reconcile.

In a video shared by media outlets, Diamond joined Zuchu on stage during her performance in Zanzibar. He expressed his love and apologized, even kneeling before her.

Diamond revealed his friend Haji Manara encouraged him to set aside his pride and seek forgiveness. He stated his journey to Zanzibar was solely for that purpose.

Zuchu’s Reasons for Breakup

Previously, Zuchu cited disrespect as the reason for ending their relationship. This included, according to her, Diamond’s interactions with his baby mama Zari Hassan.

“Hello family, I had to post this to clear my conscience. Kuanzia leo hii mimi na nasibu (Diamond) hatuko pamoja. I know this has been our thing but as hard as it is kumuacha mtu unaempenda hii naomba mungu iwe ya mwisho na nianze maisha mapya. Mapenzi ni heshima kwa bahati mbaya sana hiko kimekosekana kwetu”, Zuchu wrote.

A video of the two holding hands publicly added to the strain.

Zuchu’s Stance on Reconciliation

Despite their history of reconciliations, Zuchu released a statement on February 23rd, 2024, expressing her desire for this separation to be permanent.

Tanzanian singer Zuhura Othman, better known as Zuchu, has sparked both intrigue and debate with her recent lavish purchase – a hairpiece reportedly costing a staggering Tsh11.3 million (Ksh706,562). This extravagant acquisition highlights her evolving image as a fashion icon and raises questions about the role of luxury in the music industry.

Zuchu’s penchant for high-end items, including handbags and grillz, has garnered attention and ignited discussions about her perceived “flashy” lifestyle. However, in a past interview, the singer offered a different perspective, explaining that these extravagant choices are not solely fueled by personal opulence.

Zuchu views projecting an opulent image as a strategic move to gain the upper hand in the competitive music industry. She believes living in a luxurious home and driving expensive cars contribute significantly to her brand image and attract potential collaborators.

“There is music career and other careers,” she stated. “If you are a musician, you need to live flashy, from the house you stay in and the car you drive. That has contributed so much to building my brand and how much I will make from those who want to work with me.”

Zuchu’s perspective deviates from the traditional view of artists solely relying on talent and music for success. She presents a strategic approach where image and presentation play a critical role in securing brand deals and collaborations.

Whether Zuchu’s opulent lifestyle is a genuine reflection of her personal taste or a calculated career move remains a topic of conversation. This latest hairpiece purchase further fuels the debate about the intersection of artistry, image, and commercial viability in the modern music industry.

A recent video clip of Zuchu soothing Tanzanian star Diamond Platnumz’s daughter, Princess Tiffah, has garnered mixed reactions online. In the undated footage, a young Tiffah appears distressed during a family boat ride, prompting Zuchu, Diamond’s partner, to offer empathetic words and support.

This tender interaction has sparked debate among fans, with some applauding Zuchu’s kindness and motherly instincts towards Tiffah, while others have expressed concerns about the public nature of the gesture and potential implications for their family dynamics.

The video depicts seven-year-old Tiffah experiencing a moment of anxiety on the boat. Zuchu, known for her hit song “Honey,” quickly notices her discomfort and approaches her with a gentle and concerned demeanor.

Their conversation, captured in the video, reveals Zuchu’s efforts to understand Tiffah’s feelings and offer reassurance. She patiently compares the boat ride to a safe and enjoyable experience, emphasizing that there’s no need to be afraid.

Zuchu’s calming words and caring actions towards Tiffah showcase her compassionate nature. She suggests ways to ease the child’s anxiety, such as relaxing, having a snack, or taking a nap, all in an attempt to make the trip more pleasant.

While Zuchu’s gesture has been praised by many for its warmth and empathy, some viewers have expressed concerns about potential overstepping of boundaries within the complex family dynamic. They argue that such situations are best handled privately and question the motive behind publicly sharing the interaction.

Ultimately, the interpretation of Zuchu’s actions towards Tiffah remains open to personal perspectives. Regardless of varying opinions, it’s clear that her caring behavior has sparked online discussion and highlighted the complexities of navigating blended families and public scrutiny.

Zuchu’s 30th birthday celebrations are proving to be an unforgettable affair, filled with surprises, love, and family bonding. The Tanzanian singer, currently in South Africa with her boyfriend and WCB CEO Diamond Platnumz, has been showered with affection and attention, making her special day truly memorable.

Diamond Platnumz, known for his grand gestures, hosted a surprise dinner for Zuchu, where he expressed his love and admiration for her. The couple also embarked on a breathtaking hot air balloon ride, taking in the stunning scenery and creating cherished memories.

In a heartwarming turn of events, Diamond’s baby mama, Zari Hassan, joined the festivities, welcoming Zuchu into her South African home. Zari shared a video on her Instagram stories capturing a “blended family moment” with her husband, Shakib Cham, Diamond, and Zuchu.

Zuchu reciprocated Zari’s warm gesture, affectionately addressing her as “Mama tee” on Instagram. The two women shared a heartwarming hug and cheek kisses, showcasing their budding friendship.

Zari’s approval of Zuchu was evident as she sat next to her, placing her hand on Zuchu’s knees. The gathering also included Nigerian socialite Swanky Jerry, a close friend of Zari and a member of the Netflix series Young Famous and African.

The intimate gathering sparked excitement among fans, who expressed their surprise and delight at the unexpected bond between Zari and Zuchu. This camaraderie highlights the importance of women supporting one another, regardless of their personal circumstances.

Tanzanian singer Zuchu opened up about her absent father and her boyfriend, Diamond Platnumz’s involvement with his children, in a recent interview with Wasafi Media.

Zuchu said that she understands and supports Diamond’s involvement in the upbringing of his children. She mentioned that she was aware of his status as a father when she started their relationship, and that she sees his involvement as a part of life.

“I knew when I started dating him that he had children, and I knew that he had to be involved in their lives. Naseeb has children, and he will always be in their lives. They will celebrate birthdays, and both parents need to be there. They have become a family, and even if one of them dies, they will still be a family,” she said.

Zuchu said that she sees nothing wrong with this, and that she views it as a normal part of life. She has seen parents form lasting relationships through the shared bond of their children. These interactions, whether celebrating a birthday or attending other significant life events, are considered entirely normal.

Zuchu also acknowledged that things become more comfortable over time. Co-parenting, in her view, requires patience and understanding.

“These are normal things, and I didn’t see any problem with them. I didn’t see anything wrong because I didn’t see them hugging or kissing. I just saw two parents who came together to celebrate their child.

“It gets easier over time. Everything takes time and understanding. The man I am with has children, and if anything happens, the family comes together,” she said.

Zuchu’s reflection on her absent father and her support for Diamond’s involvement with his children is a refreshing and honest take on a complex topic. It is important to remember that co-parenting can be challenging, but it is also incredibly rewarding.

Tanzanian singer Zuchu has denied rumors that her relationship with her boyfriend Diamond Platnumz’s mother, Mama Dangote, has soured.

In a recent interview, Zuchu said that she and Mama Dangote are still close, and that the rumors are just “internet things.”

“We are good. I spoke to her about plans to celebrate Simba’s birthday. As a family, you have to involve your mother. We discussed what we needed to do, and we are good. Those things are just on the internet, but we are good. There is no problem that I am aware of,” Zuchu said.

Zuchu also denied that Tanasha Donna’s recent gifts to Mama Dangote had caused any tension between them.

“All of us as Wasafis are family. That is our mother, and there is nothing wrong. Only networks like things but we are talking. We are good,” she said.

Rumors of a rift between Zuchu and Mama Dangote began circulating after Mama Dangote allegedly unfollowed Zuchu on social media and seemed to agree with a fan who had suggested that Diamond should reconcile with Tanasha.

However, Zuchu has now put those rumors to rest, affirming that she and Mama Dangote are still on good terms.

Tanzanian singer Zuchu was forced to halt her performance at the Wasafi festival VIP pre-party in Mbaya last night after being hit by an object on her face while on stage.

In a video circulating on social media, Zuchu can be seen performing her hit song “Kwikwi” when an object is thrown at her. She immediately stops singing and grabs her face. Bouncers then rush to her aid and help her off stage.

Fans were left baffled and concerned for Zuchu’s well-being. Some speculated that the object was a bottle, while others said it was a stone.

This incident comes shortly after Zuchu’s recent revelation that she is single. She made this announcement after Diamond Platinumz’s baby mama, Tanasha Donna, gifted his mother, Mama Dangote, with expensive gifts for her 55th birthday.

Netizens were quick to draw comparisons between Zuchu and Tanasha, with some criticizing Zuchu for not being able to keep Diamond. However, Zuchu has dismissed these rumors, stating that she has been single for some time now and that Diamond is free to do whatever he wants.

It is unclear what motivated the person who threw the object at Zuchu, but it is a reminder of the dangers that celebrities face on stage. Zuchu is a talented and successful artist, and she deserves to be safe and respected while performing.

Tanzanian singer Zuchu is receiving love and support from her fans after announcing that she is single again. It is unclear when Zuchu and Diamond broke up or what led to their split, but the singer has maintained that she is living her life happily single.

This comes after Zuchu’s ex-boyfriend Diamond’s mother, Mama Dangote, took to Instagram to show off expensive gifts and wads of cash she received from Diamond’s baby mama, Tanasha Donna. Tanasha was apologizing for sending her ex’s mother belated birthday wishes, and Mama Dangote was pleased.

However, fans flocked Zuchu’s comment section after she posted a video of herself getting ready with a makeup artist and urged her to cut off Diamond. Some advised her to leave the record label and find new management so she could be free from Diamond’s shackles.

Zuchu’s fans are clearly supportive of her decision to be single and are encouraging her to focus on her own career and happiness. It is important to respect Zuchu’s privacy and allow her to heal from this breakup at her own pace.

It is also important to note that Zuchu is a talented and successful artist in her own right. She does not need to be in a relationship with Diamond to be successful.

After a video of her contentious performance went viral on social media, sultry singer Zuchu raised eyebrows.

The ‘Sukari’ hitmaker recently delighted fans with a somewhat racy performance in Lindi, Raungwa area as part of the current Wasafi Festival.

Only yesterday did videos of Zuchu’s performance begin to trickle in, with the singer releasing some footage on her social media pages.

With her action, Zuchu, who entered the stage wearing a white micro tiny skirt, gave the crowd a bird’s-eye view of locations that only Diamond Platnumz is permitted to see.

However, the part of Zuchu’s performance that received the most attention was the one in which she could be seen repeatedly touching her groin before bending over and flashing her behind to the audience in four quick seconds.

Zuchu has come clean on her body count revealing that Diamond Platnumz is the only man she has ever slept with in her life.

Zuchu opened up about Diamond popping her cherry when she was asked about her body count in the presence of the Wasafi boss.

Zuchu was asked by a Wasafi presenter if she had any other boyfriends besides Diamond Platnumz. She replied that she did not, and that the presenter must not know any of her past boyfriends. The presenter said that he did not know any of her past boyfriends, which was why he was asking.

Zuchu then said that Diamond was her one and only boyfriend, and that she was holding his head romantically. She also suggested that Diamond’s body count was high.

When the presenter asked Diamond how many women he had slept with, Diamond lied and said that Zuchu was the only woman he had ever slept with.

Tanzanian singer Zuchu has opened up about the inspiration behind her latest song “Naringa,” revealing that she wrote the lyrics while crying due to the challenges she faced in the music industry.

Zuchu, born Zuhura Othman, said that she was subjected to gossip and scrutiny by social media users, which led to her emotional outburst while composing the song’s heartfelt lyrics.

“Naringa” is a soul-stirring anthem that encourages listeners to never give up, reassuring them that they are never alone and that God is their constant source of strength.

Speaking about the creative process behind “Naringa,” Zuchu said:

“I wrote this verse during one of the toughest times in my music career. People are always talking about me, but in this profession, one of the challenges is being talked about. So I decided to channel my anger into my music.”

She added:

“I was writing this verse while crying. Being talked about is also a blessing because it means that you are a star and you are blessed. When people talk about you or try to bring you down, know that there is something special about you that they cannot defeat. That’s why they are fighting you. This song is here to uplift your spirits and remind you that you are chosen, and the One you rely on does not falter, does not take bribes, and favors the affirmative.”

Zuchu also spoke about the underlying theme of her music, which is to empower women and children. She said that a significant portion of her fan base is made up of these groups, and she wants her music to be a source of inspiration for them.

In a recent online confrontation with a fan, Zuchu defended her fashion choices. The fan had said that her attire gave off a childlike vibe, but Zuchu responded by saying:

“Don’t dictate my fashion choices. Go buy some for your father instead, my friend.”

Tanzanian singer Zuchu has criticized fellow musicians for buying bots to boost their YouTube views. She said that this is a practice that is only seen in Tanzania, and that it is unfair to those artists who are able to achieve organic viewership.

A view bot is an automated software that is used to add views to YouTube videos. This can be done by creating fake accounts or by using scripts to simulate human viewership.

Zuchu said that she believes that artists who buy bots are not confident in their own abilities. She also said that it is disrespectful to those artists who have worked hard to achieve organic viewership.

“I keep thinking to myself, what fellow artists feel of themselves when they buy views,” Zuchu said. “It’s like you know your position in the industry but you want to hide it. What do you feel? Only in Tanzania.”

Zuchu’s new song, “Honey,” has surpassed 2 million views on social media. The song has been praised for its catchy melody and Zuchu’s powerful vocals.

In addition to her music career, Zuchu has also been making headlines for her personal life. She is currently dating Diamond Platnumz, one of the most popular musicians in Tanzania. However, their relationship has been rocky, and Zuchu recently revealed that she destroyed some of Diamond’s property after she found out that he had kissed another woman on the Netflix reality show, “Young, Famous and African.”

Despite the challenges in her personal life, Zuchu is continuing to focus on her music career. She is one of the most promising young artists in Tanzania, and she is sure to achieve great things in the years to come.

Tanzanian singer Zuhura Othman, better known by her stage name Zuchu, has denied allegations that she bleached her skin.

In a video posted on social media, Zuchu wore tiny shorts and a vest to show her natural skin tone. She also addressed the dark spots on her thighs, which she said are not the result of bleaching.

“I don’t bleach my skin,” Zuchu said. “I only use natural products to take care of my skin.”

“Hii video iendee watu wote mlionislender kuhusu skin yangu. Now as you can see hii ni video very pure haina filter yoyote nimeichukua directly from the camera. Hapa mwilini nimepaka mafuta ya nazi and this is my skin. I think my skin is perfectly fine,” Zuchu said.

She added that she is comfortable with her skin and does not care what others think.

“Mimi sio mdoli of cause I might have some few dark spots here (on her thighs) and there lakini that’s a work in progress,” she said.

She continued;

“Tofauti yangu mimi na nyinyi wengi wenu munahisi mtu kukua na skin mzuri mbaka achichubue. Tofauti yangu mimi na nyinyi I go through natural process kuheal my skin from any pigmentation, au uweusi, au kidonda, au kipele,” she added.
