Tanzanian singer Zuchu has recently addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding her stance on motherhood and her relationship with her on-and-off boyfriend, Diamond Platnumz. Known for her hits like “Sukari,” Zuchu’s relationship with Diamond has been marked by ups and downs, with the couple most recently parting ways on November 12, 2024. Despite the public breakup, Zuchu’s views on motherhood have caught the attention of many, especially given Diamond’s status as a father of four.
In a candid interview, Zuchu opened up about her perspective on being a mother, and it’s clear that her definition of motherhood extends beyond biological ties. The 29-year-old singer shared her thoughts, stating, “I already have kids, and I usually come here with them. I have kids with Naseeb, and his kids are mine, so I am already a mum.” Referring to Diamond by his real name, Naseeb Abdul Juma, Zuchu emphasized that motherhood isn’t just about giving birth. “Giving birth is not the only way to become a mum,” she explained. “You can be a mum by raising others or by being an aunt to your siblings’ kids. I have been blessed to be a mum to my partner’s kids. That is enough for me for now.”
Zuchu’s statement reveals a nurturing side that many of her fans have come to admire. Despite the turbulent nature of her relationship with Diamond, she has formed a strong bond with his children, which she values as a part of her own motherhood journey. Diamond, who has four children with his former partners Zari Hassan and Tanasha Donna has co-parented with both women in a highly publicized manner. Zuchu, despite not being a biological mother to these children, has embraced the role of a maternal figure in their lives.
Over the years, Zuchu has been seen interacting with Diamond’s children on numerous occasions, and her connection with them is undeniably heartwarming. This has drawn praise from fans who admire how the blended family navigates their relationships and co-parenting dynamics. Zuchu’s openness about her role as a stepmother is not only an example of maturity but also demonstrates her ability to foster harmony in a complex family setup.
One notable moment that highlighted Zuchu’s nurturing side occurred in December 2023 when a viral video captured her comforting Diamond’s daughter, Princess Tiffah. The video, which surfaced on social media, showed Tiffah becoming distressed during a boat ride. Zuchu immediately stepped in to console the young girl, gently reassuring her with words of comfort. “Twende mum. You know it’s fun it’s just like a yacht… You are not going to drown. Are you going to try and take a nap? What do you want to eat? Don’t cry,” Zuchu said, all while covering Tiffah with a blanket and making sure she felt safe and loved.
This tender moment between Zuchu and Tiffah resonated deeply with fans, as it illustrated her maternal instincts and her willingness to step up when needed. The video went viral, with many praising her kindness and the genuine affection she showed toward Diamond’s children. It was a heartwarming display of how Zuchu has integrated into Diamond’s extended family, forming bonds that transcend romantic relationships.
Zuchu’s choice to not rush into motherhood while already playing a pivotal role in Diamond’s children’s lives speaks volumes about her priorities. She has clearly established her own definition of motherhood—one that encompasses love, care, and responsibility, even if not through biological means. In a world where traditional notions of family are often questioned, Zuchu’s approach is a modern example of how non-biological mothers can have a profound impact on children’s lives.
As her relationship with Diamond continues to evolve, Zuchu’s journey as a mother figure to his children highlights the strength of blended families and the importance of nurturing relationships beyond biological connections. Fans of Zuchu will undoubtedly continue to admire her strength, grace, and ability to love in all the right ways.
