Tanzanian singer and songwriter Zuchu has announced the end of her marriage to fellow singer Diamond Platnumz, real name Naseeb Abdul, via an Instagram story on Sunday, July 12, 2026. The announcement comes amid pregnancy rumours fueled by Diamond's close friend and Tanzanian MP Baba Levo, who publicly claimed Zuchu is pregnant.
Zuchu's Announcement
In her Instagram story, Zuchu wrote: "Hello my GPG. My former partner and I are now separated and going through a divorce. I announce this with a heavy heart. After six years of being together, I have finally decided to choose myself." She added: "I wish my former partner, Naseeb Abdul, and his family all the best. As for me, this is a time to heal and focus more on my health and my work. Our provision (or what was destined for us together) has come to an end." She concluded with a religious note: "Praise be to Allah. We tried, but Allah has His own plans, and I have no choice but to accept them. That is human nature; that is life. Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal Wakeel."
Background on the Marriage
The now-estranged celebrity couple reportedly tied the knot in June 2025 in a private ceremony. The marriage had been a subject of public interest, with Diamond Platnumz previously making headlines for his relationships and children from different women. In a past interview, Diamond stated that not all children attributed to him are his, adding that he has five or six children from more than one woman.
Pregnancy Rumours
The breakup announcement follows a claim by Diamond's close friend and Tanzanian MP Baba Levo, who publicly stated that Zuchu is pregnant. This adds another layer of complexity to the separation, though Zuchu did not address the pregnancy rumours in her statement. As of the time of this report, Diamond Platnumz has not issued any statement regarding the separation or the pregnancy claims.
Public Reactions
The news has stirred reactions on social media. A user identified as iam_nasiah commented: "This one pain me shaa Zuchu I love you girl you are talented, go heal baby girl." Another user, tochi_lifestyle, said: "This news can’t stop me from believing in marriage & falling helplessly in love again." Some users referenced Diamond's past relationships, with ileemah writing: "When zari was saying it during her wedding people said nah jealousy unna see that my fav diamond no use am do husband oo nah boyfriend." Billy_chigor noted: "Zari is still posting her husband on her Snapchat.. she called them memories." Funmexoso advised: "When a man continually says he's single when he's married is a no 1 red flag this man continually says he's single, next time don't ignore the red flag, take heart we love you."
Diamond Platnumz's Recent Public Appearance
Prior to the announcement, Diamond Platnumz attended the wedding finale of his friend and fellow music star Juma Jux, arriving late in a white suit that broke the black-and-gold theme. He also wore a studded white veil, which sparked questions from fans about why he mimicked bridal attire. The outfit trended online under the hashtag JP2025.
Zuchu has stated she now wants to focus on healing, her health, and her career. The separation marks the end of a high-profile union in the East African music scene.
