Zuchu’s Mum Confirms Diamond Married Zuchu

Celebrated Taarab singer Khadija Kopa has officially confirmed that her daughter, Bongo star Zuchu, has indeed tied the knot with music heavyweight Diamond Platnumz. Kopa shared the news during a phone interview with a Tanzanian radio station, expressing her immense joy and offering blessings to the newlyweds.

“When someone gets married, we give thanks. Alhamdulillah, because it’s not that we want our children to live in sin,” Khadija stated, adding, “We are grateful to God because we prefer our children to marry and live peacefully. They did it secretly, but we are thankful. Alhamdulillah. I pray for blessings upon them, may they bear good children who will respect them.”

Private Ceremony and Parental Absence Addressed

Khadija also addressed the online buzz surrounding the absence of Zuchu’s biological father from the wedding, particularly his omission from the traditional act of handing over the bride. She clarified that the couple had long decided that Zuchu would be given away by an elder of her choice. Furthermore, she explained that her divorce from Zuchu’s father also played a role in this decision.

Adding to the surprise, Khadija revealed that she herself was not present at the ceremony. “No, I wasn’t there at all. It was something none of us knew about,” she confessed. “They kept it completely private and only informed us afterwards. They refused to have a public ceremony.”

The news follows a series of photos posted by Diamond Platnumz on June 1st, which had strongly hinted at a wedding with Zuchu. The images showed the couple in elegant, all-white traditional Muslim attire, with their heads respectfully covered, surrounded by elders who appeared to be officiating the union. The confirmation from Khadija Kopa now solidifies the rumors, much to the delight of their fans.
