Kigoma Town Member of Parliament, Baba Levo, has addressed the recent separation of music stars Diamond Platnumz and Zuchu. Speaking to journalists, the MP, who is a close confidant of Diamond, admitted the couple is facing a significant crisis.
He confirmed that the current dispute is serious enough to threaten their long-term future together.
The Admission of Conflict
Baba Levo’s comments come shortly after Zuchu announced the end of their six-year relationship on social media. The MP did not shy away from the reality of the situation during his press briefing.
He acknowledged the tension but insisted that efforts are being made to save the partnership.
“I want to tell you quite clearly that it is true there is a conflict,” Baba Levo said. “And realistically, this conflict that has occurred can lead to these people separating.”
“When I look at Zuchu and I look at Diamond, I see people who love each other very much.” — Baba Levo.
Despite the public nature of the breakup, Baba Levo expressed hope for a reconciliation. He believes the bond between the twoartistesremains strong despite the current “gymnastics” of their relationship.
A History of On-and-Off Romance
The announcement of the split was made by Zuchu on Sunday via her Instagram page. She stated that she had decided to put herself first after six years with the WCB Wasafi boss. The singer noted that they are currently going through divorce proceedings.
This news follows a private Islamic wedding ceremony held earlier this year. That event appeared to solidify a relationship that had been the subject of speculation since 2021.
However, Zuchu was notably absent from Diamond’s mother’s birthday celebrations on Saturday, which sparked initial rumours of a rift.
A Deadline for Peace
Baba Levo has set a clear timeline for the couple to resolve their differences. He pointed to an upcoming national event in Kigoma as the target for their reunion. Diamond Platnumz is scheduled to perform at the launch of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) on 20 July.
“We are preventing that from happening because when I look at Zuchu and I look at Diamond, I see people who love each other very much,” the MP stated. “We will look at what is causing the problem.”
“Diamond will go to sing in Kigoma while happy because by the time we reach the 20th… Diamond will be with his wife.” — Baba Levo.
Industry Impact and Key Stats
The separation occurs as both artistes continue to dominate the East African music scene. Zuchu has built a highly successful career with hits likeSukari and Honey.
Meanwhile, the Tanzanian music industry continues to show strength on the international stage.
Diamond Platnumz has yet to issue a formal response to Zuchu’s statement. Fans are now watching to see if the couple will reconcile before the Kigoma performance, as predicted by Baba Levo.
