Tanzania Communication Regulatory Authority (TCRA) has banned singer Diamond Platnumz and Zuchu's new song called Mtasubiri over their music video as it will now never play again on any TV as it has Church scenes.

According to a letter from TCRA (a government agency), it indicates  that it acted on advice from BASATA (Baraza la Sanaa Tanzania) to prevent the film from being broadcast on mainstream media.

In this music video, after receiving Diamond's phone call, Zuchu is seen eloping from Church where she is a choir member in the music video directed by Director Ivan.

The WCB president is in hot water with the authorities because of a 26-second sequence that served as the video's opener has made Christians uncomfortable because they feel insulted.

On March 30, Diamond released the Mtasubiri music video, in which Zuchu was shown kissing her boss, prompting speculation that it was a confirmation of their love relationship.
