Tanzanian singer Diamond Platnumz has sparked significant reactions on social media after posting a photograph of an unidentified woman on his Instagram Stories, just 48 hours after his partner, Zuchu, announced that they were separating and undergoing divorce proceedings.
The singer, whose real name is Naseeb Abdul Juma, captioned the post “Natulizana”, a Swahili phrase loosely translating to “we are at peace”, without identifying the woman or providing further context. The timing of the post, however, has fuelled widespread speculation among fans, arriving just shortly after Zuchu [Link: Zuchu’s Instagram] publicly confirmed the end of their six-year relationship.

On Sunday, Zuchu (born Zuhura Othman Soud) revealed via her Instagram Stories that she and Diamond had separated. In her statement, the singer explained that they are currently navigating divorce proceedings and that she has chosen to prioritise her personal well-being.
“My husband and I are now separated and going through a divorce. After six years of being together, I have finally decided to choose myself. I wish Naseeb Abdul and his family all the best. As for me, I need time to heal, focus on my health and continue with my work and music,” she wrote.
