Musician Diamond Platnumz penned an encouraging message to Zuchu expressing his pride for her for how far she has come, as they continue to celebrate her birthday.

According to him, she is an icon and should expect challenges in her journey, “Ni faraja kuona ulipoanzia hadi sasa kufikia kuwa miongoni wa Icons kwenye Bara la Africa. Siku zote kumbuka, kila kazi ina mitihani na changamoto zake…. jitahidi kuipokea kila inapokuja na kutafta njia sahihi ya kuishinda, maana tafsiri sahihi ya mtihani ni Kupanda daraja baada ya kufauru.”

Diamond also wrote that the whole point of the message was to celebrate her, “This week we commemorate and celebrate the reborn of the gifted, creative, loving, talented, and humble girl that Tanzania has been blessed with @officialzuchu. Thank you for continue making Wasafi, Swahilis, Women and the whole African continent proud.”

Zuchu in response thanked him for the message and expressed her love for him, “Thank you for everything. you are my favorite person. Thank you so much May Allah keep you happy and healthy for all of us. You are just so important and I am always going to scream it to the world that you are My Hero. Love you so much.”
