In a moment that stunned fans across East Africa, Naseeb Juma Abdalla better known as Diamond Platnumz has officially tied the knot with his longtime partner, singer Zuhura Othman, alias Zuchu, in an intimate, traditional Muslim wedding, but one voice is silent, that of Zuchu’s mom, Khadija Kopa.
The ceremony, kept under wraps and attended by a select few, was nothing short of breathtaking. Zuchu radiated elegance in a dazzling white gown, while Diamond wore a regal white robe steeped in Islamic tradition. Their wedding photos now circulating online sparked celebration, questions, and one glaring silence.
Diamond’s mother, Mama Dangote, was among the first to share her joy publicly.
“Alhamdullillah limepita salama. Hongera mwanangu Naseeb kichwa na mkeo Zuhura,” she wrote”Thank God it went smoothly. Congratulations, my son Naseeb and your wife Zuhura.”
Their union also drew warm blessings from Diamond’s manager and Tanzanian MP, Hamisi Shaban Taletale (Babu Tale), who praised the ceremony and offered heartfelt congratulations.
But one voice has remained notably silent.
Zuchu’s mother, veteran taarab legend Khadija Kopa, has yet to publicly acknowledge the marriage. Not a word. Not a blessing. Not even a congratulation.
And so the question lingers like incense in the air after a wedding prayer:
Does this silence mean Khadija Kopa has finally accepted her daughter’s marriage to Diamond Platnumz or does it signal resistance still quietly burning beneath the surface?
In a culture where family blessings are not just tradition but spiritual anchors, Khadija Kopa’s silence speaks volumes. And for fans who’ve followed the highs, lows, and rumors surrounding Diamond and Zuchu’s relationship, the absence of a maternal congratulation is impossible to ignore.
Is this the calm before a reconciliatory storm or the quiet confirmation of a mother’s unspoken disapproval?
Only time and perhaps a single public word from Khadija will tell.
