Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz stunned his fans yesterday when he shed tears while on stage.

The reason for his uncharacteristic act was his rumored lover Zuchu with whom he has been linked for close to 2 years.

He did this at the Wasafi Festival which is being held in the Sumbawanga region while performing his 2015 hit - Utanipenda.

 
 

The singer who doesn't normally express lots of emotion in public took this opportunity to go all out for his signee and even knelt on stage singing the chorus and inserting Zuchu's name asking her questions about whether she would love him tomorrow if things went wrong.

His adding Zuchu's name to the chorus is noteworthy considering that he originally sang the song with his first baby mama Zari's name in it.

"Bado nawaza sana, je itakapofika tama Zuchu utanipenda?... na magazeti yatanibwaga utasikia tafarani eti mpaka kwa Zuchu nimemwagwa na venye nilivyo mnyonge."

 

"(I'm still thinking a lot, when the time comes, will Zuchu love me?... and the newspapers will talk about me, you'll hear that until Zuchu I've been talked about by those who are miserable) Diamond finished emotionally as the crowd cheered him on.

That Diamond is going to these lengths to celebrate Zuchu comes as a surprise to many keen watchers who know his philandering reputation.

In fact, he has often played coy on whether he and the 'Sukari' singer were dating and has issued contradictory messages about the nature of their relationship.

Zuchu for her part, has been the driving force of their relationship and is the one that seems to be pushing for Diamond to claim her in public, something she has done for him with her many declarations of love towards him.

Now the question many will ask is whether Mr. Platnumz's will follow up this public declaration with a marriage proposal, something all his other lovers were never fortunate enough to receive.
