This statement comes just a few months after the singer celebrated Zuchus birthday with her, he went out of his way to surprise her with a special birthday celebration. Despite his hectic schedule, the singer dedicated time to commemorate Zuchu's 30th birthday on November 22, 2023.

The soothing tunes of Jazz music greeted the pair as they ascended a staircase leading to a charming dinner set up for the occasion. Zuchu looked stunning for the celebration, adorned in an elegant grey dress that complemented her meticulously styled hair, fashioned into a chic bun.
