The Sukari hitmaker did not hold back in her announcement, describing the decision as one she made with a heavy heart but with her own well-being firmly in mind.
"I announce this with a heavy heart. After six years of being together, I have finally decided to choose myself," Zuchu wrote.
She added that healing, her health, and her music career are now her primary focus, while also wishing Diamond Platnumz and his family well and expressing that she harbours no bitterness towards them.
She closed the statement with the Islamic phrase 'Hasbunallahu wani'mal Wakeel', a declaration of placing her trust in God during what she described as a difficult time.
Zuchu pregnancy rumours swirl around announcement
The timing of Zuchu's post raised eyebrows across social media.
Her statement came just hours after Baba Levo, a Tanzanian Member of Parliament and close associate of Diamond Platnumz, publicly claimed the singer was pregnant.
Zuchu chose not to acknowledge the speculation, keeping her message focused exclusively on the relationship's end.
Diamond Platnumz had not publicly responded to his ex's message at the time of writing, and Zuchu herself offered no specific explanation for what led to the split.
