The late Ivan Ssemwanga who was a well known businessman and socialite was laid to rest on Tuesday at his rural home in Uganda. Friends, fans and relatives all gathered together to give the man his final send off and from the photos making rounds on social media, we are all aware that he is now resting in peace.

Anyway, there is a new photo making rounds on social media of Ivan Don’s look alike that has sparked a lot of rumors online. Some claim that Ivan Don’s death was faked due to a huge debt that would have cost him all his fortune while others claim that the Rich gang leader just wants to live a secretive life from now on.

However this is not true but just propaganda from unreliable sources. Ivan was indeed buried and the photo making rounds is for a different person who happens to share striking resemblance with the late tycoon.

There are photos of Ivan’s open casket that have confirmed this but hey…checkout his look alike below:

“You won’t attack Diamond Platnumz who was performing in Kenya but you attack me?” Vera Sidika goes ham on fans after accusing her of being a fake friend to Zari Hassan

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Vera Sidika was among the first friends who reached out to Zari Hassan after her ex husband, the late Ivan Don passed on. She went ahead to post a message comforting the mother of 5 and her sons through her Instagram page.

However, most fans think that she did not do what a true friend would have done. According to her she has been receiving messages on her IG and snapchat from fans who claim that she was not there when Zari Hassan needed her the most.

According to them she did not make an effort of going to Uganda for the funeral like most of Zari’s friends did. But, Vera says that she did not need to be there physically to show her support. She went on to add that she was communicating with Zari the whole time and for this reason people should stop calling her names as they do not understand what was going on.

She however fired her guns after hinting that these fans should have been questioning Diamond Platnumz for now being there for his wife and not her since their level of friendship cannot be compared to what Zari and Diamond Platnumz share:

Vera Sidika revealed this through her Instagram stories and you can see her posts below:

Zari Hassan breaks down during the late Ivan’s funeral service in South Africa

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

It has been tough for Zari, her sons and family at large to accept that Ivan Ssemwanga is gone. This has clearly been seen in the videos and photos making rounds on social media from the funeral service held in South Africa on Saturday hours before his body was moved to Uganda where he will be laid to rest tomorrow.

For those who did not think that Ivan Don’s death would affect Zari then they were wrong. Zari was spotted breaking down helplessly during the funeral service and despite having her friends with her, the mother of 5 could not hold back her tears.

The memories, laughter, tears and times she shared with her late ex husband always kept them close when he was still alive. They coparented in ways no one understood and seeing her break down was enough proof to show that they still had some connection.

Below are a few photos and a video clip showing the lass tear down as she said her goodbyes to her late friend and father of her 3 boys.

A lot has been said about Zari especially now that her ex husband passed on this past Tuesday and confirmed the news on Thursday after she publicly announced that he was no more.

There are fans who have been encouraging her while others have been criticizing her for leaving the fella only to fight for his property when he is dead. However what many don’t know is that the late Ivan Don loved Zari Hassan until his last day on earth.

The two are said to have had a relationship that many could not understand simply because they had 3 sons together and as far as matters are concerned….Zari was his first love. A few years ago the two made their union official by holding a traditional wedding that many know nothing about. I however bumped into a few photos from the wedding and you can check them out below:

Before Zari Hassan got involved with Diamond Platnumz, to be honest we didn’t know much about the lass and her family. However, with time we learnt about her sons and her ex husband Ivan Don who was a socialite, businessman and a Ugandan tycoon.

Unfortunately Ivan Don as he is known is said to have passed on in the wee hours this morning leaving many shocked as we never saw it coming. The late dad of three boys apparently suffered a heart condition that left him lifeless a few days after being admitted to the ICU.

Though he is gone, I have a compiled a few photos of the guy spending some quality time with his ex wife and their sons when he was still alive. These are the times he looked happier compared to their photos we have come to see since he split with his ex wife.

If I am not wrong, Ivan Don never married again after Zari nor does he have any kids outside that we have heard of (yet). Anyway checkout the photos here.
