Zuchu hits back after fans say she used clout to promote new song
By Paulette Mboga, August 1, 2025Singer Zuchu has found herself at the centre of controversy after fans accused her of using a fake scandal to promote her new song Amanda. This came just days after a dramatic video surfaced online showing her confronting her husband, Diamond Platnumz, over a mysterious woman named Amanda.
Zuchu was seen on a video call with Diamond, questioning him about a woman who called him late at night.
“Why is Amanda calling you at midnight?” she asked, clearly upset.
She even went on to warn other women not to call her man during odd hours, fueling speculation that Amanda was a real person.
Fans feel misled after song release
Just a day after the video went viral and sparked conversations online, Zuchu released a new track titled Amanda. The timing raised eyebrows, with many now believing the entire incident was a publicity stunt.
To add fuel to the fire, it turned out Amanda doesn’t exist—she was simply the title and theme of her new single. This revelation angered some fans who felt they had been played.
“Zuchu used our emotions to trend. That drama was just to get attention for her new song,” one user posted online.
Following the backlash, Zuchu didn’t back down. Instead, she responded to the criticism with a short but powerful message on Instagram on Friday, August 1, 2025.
“Artists don’t need to explain the process. The feeling is the explanation,” she said.
Her words suggest that the drama, whether real or not, was part of her artistic expression. She did not confirm or deny whether the Amanda situation was staged, leaving fans to draw their own conclusions.
Zuchu and Diamond’s relationship has often been in the spotlight, with both public displays of affection and heated moments shared online. Some fans believe their drama helps keep them relevant in the music industry, while others feel it blurs the line between real life and showbiz.
As Amanda continues to trend on streaming platforms, one thing is clear—Zuchu knows how to get people talking, whether through music or controversy.
