Zuchu and Diamond Platnumz Announce Split Weeks After Zari Hassan’s Marriage Breakdown

Tanzanian music stars Zuchu and Diamond Platnumz have announced that they have separated and are now proceeding with a divorce, bringing an end to their six-year relationship.

In an emotional post shared on X, Zuchu revealed that the decision was not an easy one but said it was time to put herself first.

“I announce this with a heavy heart. After six years together, I have finally decided to choose myself,” she wrote.

Diamond Platnumz, whose real name is Naseeb Abdul Juma, had not publicly commented on the announcement at the time of publication.

The news has sent shockwaves across East Africa, where the two musicians have long been regarded as one of the region’s most admired celebrity couples. Fans have since flooded social media with messages of support, while many expressed disappointment over the end of their relationship.

The breakup comes just weeks after another high-profile relationship involving Diamond Platnumz’s ex-girlfriend, Zari Hassan, also made headlines. Zari, popularly known as “The Boss Lady,” announced on social media that her marriage to Shakib Cham Lutaaya had come to an end after five years together.

Shortly after Zari’s announcement, Shakib said he learned about the end of their marriage at the same time as everyone else through her social media post suggesting he had not been informed privately before the news was made public.

The two relationship announcements, coming within weeks of each other, have sparked widespread discussion among fans across the region, with many reflecting on the challenges of maintaining relationships in the public eye.
