Online slay queens “setting standards”: Zari’s biting and sagacious advice

Ugandan socialite and renowned entrepreneur Zari Hassan has expressed her disdain for the fake lifestyle of slay queens, urging them to put in hard work to earn a living.

In a video circulating on social media, Zari pointed out the irony of many slay queens spending significant amounts of money daily on leisure without having a specific job to generate income.

The mother of five shared that despite leading an exciting life with people depending on her, she has undertaken “dirty” work to reach her current position. Zari disclosed her past employment at a sandwich company and as a domestic worker in England.

Zari emphasized the importance of hard work, stating that earning respect for one’s hustle comes from diligent effort.

Addressing slay queens who solicit in DMs, she advised them to cease such behavior and engage in any form of work, even if it means selling charcoal, rather than setting unrealistic standards.

Zari also cautioned against false narratives suggesting her wealth is solely derived from her late husband, Ivan Ssemwanga. She clarified that they built their wealth together, and she has continued to work tirelessly to maintain and enhance it.
