Bongo star Diamond Platnumz has officially tied the knot with longtime partner and fellow musician Zuchu in a quiet yet elegant Muslim wedding ceremony. The couple, known offstage as Naseeb Juma Abdalla and Zuhura Othman, surprised fans with the unexpected nuptials, which took place over the weekend.
The intimate affair was attended by a select group of invited guests. Zuchu looked stunning in a radiant white wedding gown, while Diamond wore a traditional white Muslim robe. Their wedding photos made their way online on Sunday, June 1, prompting widespread reactions and congratulations across social media.
Family members were among the first to send heartfelt messages to the couple. Diamond’s mother expressed her joy and gratitude for the smooth and successful ceremony. She praised her son and his new wife, referring to Zuchu affectionately and wishing them a prosperous union.
Diamond’s manager, who also serves as a Member of Parliament, shared warm blessings for the couple, praying for the longevity and protection of their marriage. Other close relatives, including Diamond’s sister, also joined in the celebration, welcoming Zuchu into the family and offering their support.
Despite the celebratory mood, not all responses were positive. Many social media users reacted with skepticism and cynicism. Some doubted the longevity of the marriage, referencing Diamond’s past high-profile relationships and breakups. Others speculated that the wedding might be a publicity stunt or a build-up to a new music release.
Several users drew comparisons to Diamond’s previous partners, suggesting that this relationship would follow a similar path. Others questioned whether the singer was genuinely committed, pointing out his past remarks about pursuing another wife from Nigeria and his brief romantic involvement with reality show co-star Fantana.
Interestingly, the wedding arrives months after Diamond’s mother publicly denied that her son had plans to marry Zuchu. At the time, she referred to Zuchu merely as an employee and said her son would only marry after fulfilling traditional dowry obligations. Her recent celebratory message suggests a shift in stance and perhaps signals her acceptance of the relationship.
The wedding was particularly surprising as neither Diamond nor Zuchu had promoted the ceremony on their social media platforms beforehand. This has only fueled more speculation and debate online, with fans and critics alike sharing varied opinions about the couple’s future.
Regardless of the mixed reactions, the newlyweds appear to be basking in their moment of love and celebration. Whether this marks a new chapter of stability in Diamond’s romantic life or becomes another temporary stop in his love journey remains to be seen.
