Tanzanian music star Diamond Platnumz and his wife, singer Zuchu, have ended their relationship, with the songstress announcing that the couple is currently going through a divorce process.
Zuchu, who is signed to Diamond Platnumz’s record label, made the announcement through her Instagram story on Sunday, revealing that the decision came after efforts to make the relationship work.
The singer did not disclose the specific reason behind the separation but indicated that the outcome was part of a bigger plan beyond their control.
“We tried, but Allah has His own plans,” Zuchu wrote.
Announcing that the divorce proceedings are ongoing, the singer explained that she had chosen to prioritise her personal wellbeing, healing and professional growth.
“I have finally decided to choose myself and this is a time to heal and focus more on my health and career,” she stated.
She added: “My husband and I are now separated and going through a divorce. I announce this with a heavy heart. After 6 years of being together, I’ve finally decided to choose myself.”
The announcement has drawn attention from fans across East Africa, given the couple’s high-profile relationship and their close connection within Tanzania’s entertainment industry.
Reports indicate that Diamond Platnumz and Zuchu officially tied the knot in June 2025 after spending about five years together. Their relationship had attracted significant public interest, with both singers frequently making headlines due to their music careers and personal lives.
Following news of the separation, Diamond Platnumz’s former partner, Tanzanian socialite Zari Hassan, reacted to the development by praising Zuchu’s strength and ability to handle the situation.
Zari, who previously ended her relationship with Diamond Platnumz amid allegations of infidelity, expressed support for Zuchu as she navigates the difficult period.
Diamond Platnumz, one of Africa’s most successful Afrobeats and Bongo Flava artistes, has maintained a strong influence in the region’s music scene, while Zuchu has also built a successful career with several hit songs and a growing fan base.
The couple’s separation marks the end of one of Tanzania’s most followed celebrity relationships, with fans now awaiting further details on their next steps.
