Zuchu mentioned that she will now focus on healing, her health, and her music career.

“We tried, but Allah has His own plans, and I have no choice but to accept them,” she wrote.

End of a Six-Year Relationship

Zuchu and Diamond Platnumz began dating in 2020 after she joined his record label, WCB Wasafi. Their relationship was marked by several public breakups and reconciliations before they married in a private Islamic ceremony in June 2025.

This was Diamond Platnumz’s first legal marriage.

Prior to marrying Zuchu, he had high-profile relationships with Ugandan businesswoman Zari Hassan, Tanzanian model Hamisa Mobetto, and Kenyan singer Tanasha Donna, with whom he shares four children.

Unconfirmed reports also suggested that Zuchu was pregnant, but she did not address these rumors in her statement.

As of the time of this report, neither Zuchu nor Diamond Platnumz has disclosed the reason for their split. Diamond had not publicly commented on the announcement.
