Tanzanian music sensation Naseeb Abdul Juma, widely known by his stage name Diamond Platnumz, has confirmed his secret Islamic marriage (nikah) to fellow Bongo Flava star Zuhura Othman, alias Zuchu, revealing plans for a grand public celebration in the near future.
The couple, known for their on-and-off relationship, chose to keep their initial ceremony private to maintain focus on their music careers.
In an undated video, Diamond revealed that the real wedding is coming and urged everyone to hold on for the grand celebration, insisting it has not even begun yet. He noted that what’s been seen online so far was just a small, private affair meant to keep the spotlight on his music, not their relationship.
“The real wedding is coming; wait for the celebration. It is coming, we have not started yet,” he disclosed.

Speaking about their private nikah, the multitalented musician explained that it was just a little celebration that only a few people knew about, adding that they had not done anything major yet.
He went on to say that they opted to keep it private because they did not want the public shifting attention away from his music and onto his relationship.
“We did not do anything; it was just a little something. A few people knew about it. We did back in the days. We decided to keep it private because we did not want people to start losing focus on my music and start focusing on my relationship,” Diamond explained.
Nikah
The self-proclaimed Simba, on Sunday, June 1, 2025, announced that he was off the market by sharing photos of himself with Zuchu in Islamic traditional wedding attire on his official Instagram account, accompanied by a long cryptic message.
In his post, the Bongo Flava sensation spoke about the maturity of staying silent even when people speak falsely about you.
“One of the things I’ve learned is the maturity of remaining silent… This maturity requires a high level of patience. It demands you to have endurance, especially when someone or people falsely accuse you in public, while you know the truth but choose to stay quiet,” he wrote.
“It is not easy, but the rewards are great because your battles are fought by God, and you end up winning every time.
In addition, the Wasafi boss said that he knew everyone had a different image of him and marriage, but that he wanted to reveal that he had been married before—and that one day he would explain what had happened.
“I know everyone has a different picture of Diamond Platnumz and marriage. But today, I want to tell you that Diamond Platnumz has been married before… And someday I’ll explain what happened,” he stated.
Apart from Diamond, Zuchu, in a video circulating online, is seen recording herself in a car with Diamond, joyfully saying, “My husband, we are married,” while Diamond laughs in the background.
Diamond’s mother, Mama Dangote, also confirmed the wedding on her Instagram, congratulating the couple.
“Alhamdulillah, it went well. Congratulations, my son Naseeb and your wife Zuhura,” she wrote.
