Tanzanian singer Zuchu has publicly issued a sharp warning to individuals making late-night phone calls to her husband, Diamond Platnumz.
The artist expressed her frustration via social media, questioning the intentions behind such calls.
A Public Plea for Respect
In her Instagram stories, Zuchu voiced her displeasure, stating, “I just don’t understand why someone would call a married man Usiku wa manane like very late in the night, don’t you know he has a wife ????”.
She followed up with a more direct message, specifically addressing those she believes are responsible.
“If you know your name starts with A, I see your calls stop calling my husband,” she cautioned.
The Marriage in Focus
This public statement comes after Diamond Platnumz and Zuchu reportedly tied the knot in a private Islamic ceremony. The intimate event took place towards the end of May 2025, in Dar es Salaam.
Close family and friends were said to be in attendance, with the couple appearing in traditional white Muslim attire.
The union marked a significant milestone for the couple, whose relationship has been a subject of public interest for some time.
Reports indicated that Zuchu affectionately referred to Diamond as “my husband” in a video confirming their marriage, also adding to her Instagram bio, “Mrs Naseeb”.
Diamond’s View on Private Wedding
Diamond Platnumz himself had reflected on his decision to keep the marriage private, noting the “maturity of staying silent” amid public scrutiny.
“I didn’t want people to start losing focus from my music and start focusing on my relationship, all that so that maybe sometime next time when you go to the show people say oh you yeah what you… You know, people sometimes don’t understand,” he said during his UK concert.
During the interview, Diamond himself confirmed that a “traditional thing” did happen back in the day, but unequivocally stated that it wasn’t official.
“Yes, it happened, we did back in the day, honestly. I don’t want to lie to you back in the day, but it wasn’t official. It was just a little something that a few people like nobody knew anything, and we had it back in the days but I didn’t want people to know. I just decided to keep it private and all that,” he elaborated.
