‘Hatujazaa nyuki’ Diamond Tells Relatives to Bring Cash Not Flowers
Tanzanian music star Diamond Platnumz has light-heartedly urged family members visiting his newborn daughter to leave the flowers at home and arrive with money instead.
In an Instagram Story posted on Sunday, the popular Bongo Flava artist addressed uncles and aunts who had already made their way to the hospital, pointing out that the family had received more than enough blooms. He quipped that they had not given birth to a bee, making floral gifts of limited practical value compared with cash that could actually help the new parents.
The playful message arrived just hours after Diamond and his partner, fellow musician Zuchu, publicly welcomed their first child together, a baby girl. Both shared emotional posts announcing the arrival, with Diamond describing their daughter as a precious little angel already surrounded by more love than words could capture. Zuchu echoed the joy by calling the newborn her whole world, marking a deeply personal milestone for the high-profile couple.
Only days earlier the pair had celebrated the pregnancy with a lavish baby shower that brought together close relatives, friends and several well-known figures from the entertainment scene. The event featured a full pink theme once the gender was revealed, and it included warm embraces between the expectant parents in front of their guests. Among the attendees was Zuchu’s mother, veteran singer Khadija Kopa, alongside other industry personalities who joined in the festivities.
During that same celebration Diamond presented Zuchu with a substantial cash gift of thirty thousand United States dollars as a token of appreciation for carrying their child. He told the gathering that the amount was modest next to the irreplaceable gift she had given him, insisting that no sum of money could ever equal the value of bringing their daughter into the world. Guests responded with applause as he praised her as a sister, woman and mother.
The light-hearted hospital note about flowers therefore fits neatly into the joyful atmosphere surrounding the birth. By turning a common cultural gesture into a humorous call for practical support, Diamond kept his characteristic playful tone while reminding well-wishers that the young family would appreciate contributions of lasting usefulness. The message has already circulated widely among fans who continue to celebrate the arrival of the couple’s first child.
