Tanzanian music stars Diamond Platnumz and Zuchu returned home in grand style after welcoming their first child together, turning what would normally be a routine hospital discharge into a public celebration.

The couple, regarded by many fans as East African music royalty, left the hospital to cheering crowds, flashing cameras and a convoy of luxury vehicles.

Supporters gathered outside the hospital and on nearby balconies to catch a glimpse of the newborn.

Diamond, dressed in an all-black outfit with a fedora and dark sunglasses, carried the baby in a black infant carrier, while Zuchu walked beside him in a flowing white robe, holding his hand.
