Diamond’s Attempt to Reconcile with Zuchu (Full Details)

During a recent club performance, Diamond Platnumz made an emotional gesture, adding a personal touch to Marlow’s song Pii Pii. As the crowd cheered, he sang, “Move out the way! Nimechoka kupoteza time. Nina siku nyingi kwenda home! I’m missing my Zuchu!” Watch the clip here:

However, during the show, Diamond referred to Zuchu merely as an “artiste” signed to his Wasafi Records label, sparking outrage among fans who found the comment disrespectful.

Fan Reactions

Social media erupted with mixed reactions to Diamond’s behavior, with some questioning the sincerity of his apology and others accusing him of calculated theatrics.

• @Kendi_PN: “Diamond learnt English and became a big nuisance. Zuchu needs to stand up for herself because this man is a demon!”
• @svnaasays: “The way Diamond denies Zuchu 😭 even Satan wouldn’t deny you like that.”
• @amearyPearl: “Once again, Diamond doesn’t rate Zuchu at all. Imagine three seasons of disrespect. She’s dating herself!”

Many fans sympathized with Zuchu, criticizing Diamond for his recurring pattern of disrespecting women. Others speculated that the drama could be a publicity stunt to promote the latest season of Young, Famous & African.

Diamond’s Reality TV Persona

The controversy partly stems from Diamond’s portrayal in Young, Famous & African, where he embraced the persona of a carefree flirt. In a recent episode, he openly flirted with cast member Fantana while dismissing Zuchu as “just my artiste.”

When Fantana asked, “Is she your artiste or your girlfriend?” Diamond casually responded, “She’s my artiste. You mean Zuchu, right?” This remark sparked further backlash, with fans accusing him of minimizing Zuchu’s role in his life.

In his defense, Diamond later clarified that the show is scripted: “The show is like a play or a movie. My character is a notorious flirt, and that’s all it is.”

Zuchu’s Response

Zuchu didn’t take the public humiliation lightly. She announced her intention to sue Wasafi Media, alleging that their content aimed to tarnish her reputation.

Addressing the ongoing narrative on Instagram, she stated:
“I have no interest in marrying Nasibu [Diamond], and I’m not forcing him into it. He’s free to go wherever he feels happy. Stop dragging my name into every story about him.”

Zuchu also criticized the relentless scrutiny she faces:
“Every time Nasibu is seen with another woman, the entire world stops to attack me. Let me make this clear: I’m not clinging to him. If anyone thinks it’s that easy, let them try!”
