Tanzanian music star Zuhura Othman Soud, widely known by her stage name Zuchu, has announced that she is expecting her first child after sharing the news with fans on social media.

The singer made the announcement on Thursday, July 30, 2026, posting maternity photographs that showcased her pregnancy alongside ultrasound images, confirming that she is preparing to welcome her first baby.

In her post, Zuchu expressed happiness about the new chapter in her life and shared her hopes for a healthy pregnancy as she looks forward to becoming a mother.

“Growing Love and Eating for Two, please be a chubby baby,” she wrote.

The announcement quickly drew widespread attention online, attracting congratulatory messages from fellow artists, public figures and thousands of fans from across East Africa, many wishing her a safe pregnancy and a healthy delivery.

The news comes just weeks after Zuchu publicly revealed that she and fellow Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz had ended their relationship. At the time, she said the decision followed years of trying to make the relationship work and that she had chosen to focus on her own well-being.

“Hello, my GPG. Mimi na aliyekuwa mwenzangu, we are now separated and going through a divorce. I announce this with a heavy heart. After six years of being together, I have finally decided to choose myself,” she said in an earlier statement.

Neither Zuchu nor Diamond Platnumz has since provided further details regarding their separation. Their relationship, however, has attracted significant public attention over the years, with several widely reported breakups and reconciliations.

Although the singer did not disclose her baby’s expected due date or gender, the maternity photographs and ultrasound images she shared confirmed that she is preparing for motherhood for the first time.

Her announcement has generated widespread discussion on social media, where supporters continue to send messages of congratulations as she embarks on a new phase of her personal life.
