Tanzanian singer Zuchu has addressed, for the first time, her reaction to her 'friend' Diamond sharing a kiss on a reality tv show with Ghanaian star Fantana.
Speaking in an interview on Wasafi Media, Zuchu, who has always denied any romantic involvement with Diamond, said her friend crossed the line by kissing Fantana on screen.
The singer admitted that she was so angry that she even destroyed some property at her boss' house.
"It happened, and I was so angry. Rafiki yangu alivuka mipaka; those are not things we do on TV," Zuchu said.
She shared that she sent a video of the property destruction to Diamond, who made endless calls to her, all of which went unanswered.
"He was calling me, but I just wasn't picking up his calls. I was done. Lakini eventually, I picked up his calls. Sijui kwanini nakuwa mrahisi sana kwake.
"Trust me, I don't give second chances. I just picked up and said what I said, and that was it," Zuchu explained.
