Tanzanian songstress Zuhura Othman, popularly known as Zuchu, has accused the media platform owned by her boss and boyfriend, Diamond Platinumz, of repeated harassment and bullying.
Speaking out on Instagram, the’ Antenna’ hitmaker expressed her dismay over the media house’s treatment of her, revealing that she has resorted to legal measures after her pleas for intervention fell on deaf ears.
On January 16, Zuchu took to Instagram to air her grievances, directly tagging Diamond Platnumz.
She lamented the continued negative narratives allegedly pushed by the media house, stating that they have taken a toll on her mental and physical health.
“Diamond Platnumz, to you, leader, what is currently happening on social media through the content of your show, Mashamsham, has been part of hurting and degrading me artistically and physically and mentally.”
While acknowledging the support and platform Wasafi has provided her in her career, Zuchu questioned the fairness of the ongoing harassment.
She pointed out that while negative stories about her continue to surface, Diamond is not subjected to similar scrutiny.
“I have become a fast-paced and dedicated artist in my career despite the investment made by your company, I do not deny that it is a great and good thing to liberate a talented girl by investing in her. But I ask, is it right for that to be used as a weapon against me?
“Or what did I do wrong to them to the point of bullying and harassment against me. By the way, what wrong do your family have with me that they consider it their right, even when they have a personal interview, not to hide my affairs, and they always make sure that they do not harm you but me.”
Zuchu further disclosed that her attempts to address the issue directly with Diamond and Wasafi Media’s leadership were unsuccessful.
She said she had no choice but to seek legal intervention while leaving the ultimate judgment to God.
“I pray a lot to you as a leader, but often my prayers hit a rock, and content is created with the intention of disrespecting me, hurting me and destroying my mental health. I am a girl and a musician, too, and I have never seen any media harass me like the media of your institution has been doing. I have nothing to do with you; you are the Powerful, and I complain to the Almighty.”
In a separate post, Zuchu dismissed claims that she has ever pressured Diamond Platnumz to marry her.
She clarified that Diamond is free to pursue relationships with other women.
“I don’t have to marry Nasibu. I have never held a gun to him or kidnapped him. He has the right to go wherever he pleases,” she stated.
This clarification follows a string of past incidents where her romantic links with Diamond were a focal point of conversations on Wasafi Media.
