Khadija Kopa's Perspective on Zuchu's Relationship with Diamond Despite the apparent closeness between Diamond Platnumz and Zuchu, Mama Zuchu, a prominent Taarab singer, expressed her reservations about acknowledging the relationship.
Khadija stressed that, as per their cultural tradition, an individual is officially recognized as being in a relationship with a woman only after adhering to certain customs, particularly the payment of dowry.
"I do not know about their relationship. We, the elders, only acknowledge relationships in accordance with our cultural customs. It's when someone comes to introduce themselves; that's when we recognize the relationship," she commented.
Khadija Kopa: Diamond and Zuchu Aren't Engaged; Anyone Can Bring a Proposal She pointed out that, as of now, Diamond Platnumz has not observed these customary rituals to formalize his relationship with Zuchu.
She encouraged those curious about the situation to inquire directly with Zuchu, clarifying that, as a mother, she is not privy to the dynamics of their relationship.
"But I am not aware of their external relationships. She knows it herself, so ask her. However, there hasn't been a dowry payment or engagement yet," she added.
Khadija went a step further, advising any potential suitors interested in her daughter to consider making their dowry payments, as she is still available.
"Anyone with the means is welcome. Anyone at all. Simba [Diamond] hasn't married her, nor has he paid dowry, and he isn't her fiancé. Anyone can come," she affirmed.
