Zari Clarifies
Following speculation about potential conflict within her relationship with her husband Shakib due to the video, Zari sought to clarify the situation.

“Tulikuwa tunashoot Young Fanous and African Diamond askasema nisaidie tufanye promo ya wimbo sababu naona haitembei vizuri. The whole family was there, tena Zuchu kbisa was there alikuwa amesimama na watoto. Ilikuwa hivo tu. Akaondoka na mi nikaenda zangu…
“Video ikatoka na nikaona mambo yameanza. Shakib was at home na siku hiyo alikuwa anarudi Uganda. Nimefika nyumbani akaniambia mke wangu hivi vitu mbona mi sielewi. Why didn’t you tell me coz when such things come up I look disrespected,” she said.
Zari’s Apology and Clarification
Zari acknowledged her mistake in not communicating with Shakib and apologized for the situation. She clarified that issues within their relationship existed prior to the video, as evident by her removing his photos from social media in November-December 2023.
Current Relationship Status
Regarding her current status with Shakib, Zari stated that although the video with Shakib’s ex was old, it prompted them to take some space to address existing issues
“Huyo mwanamke alikuwa anatoka naye 2020. Shakib mwenyewe aliwapa bloggers the video waisambaze. It was more of if you can chill off your ex like that na mi pia naweza kufanya… It was out of frustration,” she said.
