“We co-parent very well. Whenever we meet, it’s all good vibes, which some people mistake for chemistry. But it’s just that—we are not enemies, and we’re raising our kids together,” she stated.

This differs from how their relationship was portrayed on Young, Famous & African, where Diamond often implied that Zari still had feelings for him.

Zari also addressed her marriage to Shakib Cham, revealing that he initially had concerns about her dynamic with Diamond. These concerns were heightened when Diamond suggested on the reality show that Zari wanted more children with him—a claim she strongly denied.

Zari Reveals Why She Favors Zuchu and Vera Over Tanasha for Young, Famous &African

Posted on January 24, 2025January 24, 2025 by Ozymandias

Ugandan socialite, entrepreneur, and reality TV star Zarinah Hassan, popularly known as Zari the Boss Lady, has shared her thoughts on the ideal Kenyan influencer to join Netflix’s hit reality series, Young, Famous & African.

During an interview with entertainment presenter Silva Kido while in Kenya for an influencer gig, Zari highlighted her top picks for potential cast members from Kenya and Tanzania.

Zari expressed her preference for Kenyan socialite Vera Sidika, citing her beauty, curvy physique, and vibrant personality, which she believes aligns with the show’s existing cast. She added that Vera’s dynamic vibe would fit seamlessly into the group.

From Tanzania, Zari suggested bongo star Zuchu as a suitable addition. She noted that Zuchu’s rumored relationship with Diamond Platnumz, who is already a cast member, could bring an exciting dynamic to the show.

However, Zari was hesitant about recommending singer Tanasha Donna, despite their friendship. She explained that Tanasha’s reserved and quiet demeanor might not suit the drama-driven nature of the show.

“Vera would look good on the show. She’s beautiful, brings the ‘nyash,’ and looks like she can throw some jabs—she’s just like us,” Zari said. “As for Zuchu, I’d love to see her on the show, sitting there and saying, ‘What do you have to say, Diamond? Am I not your artiste?’ That would stir things up.”

On the other hand, Zari remarked, “Tanasha is very pretty, and I talk to her often, but she’s very reserved. The show needs someone who can bring the energy and drama, and she’s more laid-back.”

Zari further explained that Young, Famous & African is not scripted, and the series often reveals the true personalities of its cast members, not just the personas they present on social media.

“Reality TV isn’t just about social media. Once the cameras start rolling, it’s about who you truly are, and I’ve seen people change completely when the reality sets in,” she added.

First aired on March 18, 2022, Young, Famous & African showcases the lives of Africa’s elite celebrities known for their wealth and influence. Zari, a standout cast member, emphasized that Netflix decides who joins the show, and the current cast has no input in casting decisions.

The show’s third season features Zari Hassan, Shakib Cham, Diamond Platnumz, Fantana, Annie Macaulay-Idibia, Swanky Jerry, Nadia Nakai, Quinton Masina, Kayleigh Schwark, Luis Munana, Khanyi Mbau, and Ini Edo.

Zari Hassan Responds to Ebang Engonga Controversy: ‘All Men Are the Same

Posted on November 11, 2024 by Ozymandias

Socialite Zari Hassan has caught netizens’ attention with a social media post claiming “all men are the same.” In her recent TikTok video, she shared a bold message with her followers, asserting that men are alike regardless of location.

Her remarks come shortly after Ebang Engonga became a trending topic due to the leak of over 400 explicit videos with multiple women, leading to his arrest in Equatorial Guinea.

“The only difference between your man, mine, and the guy from Equatorial Guinea is that ours haven’t been caught and don’t record themselves. But these ‘Shreks’ or ‘Chimpanzees’ are all the same,” Zari remarked.

Her post sparked a wave of reactions, with women flooding the comments to share their opinions:

Reenn38: I know mine is worse than the Guinean man because the texts I saw on his phone were even worse than those videos. 🥺

Mboliko: I think 400 women did more damage to society than one man. We can say he’s out of his mind, but can we say the same for 400 women?

Tyron Kraims: It’s sad that even a woman I respect thinks this way… who said that the Guinean man represents all men?

PESHY🧡💫💝💫: Thank you for highlighting it. Some think it’s a big deal, but there are men out here who are just as bad, if not worse.

Mum Luzaalo🤰: If the Guinean guy is the headmaster, mine’s the head teacher! 😂

For those unaware, Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the head of Equatorial Guinea’s financial crime agency, was recently embroiled in a scandal. Authorities investigating Engonga for fraud reportedly discovered over 400 explicit videos on his computer involving various women, including his brother’s wife and even the President’s sister.

Posted on September 2, 2024 by Ozymandias

Zari Hassan arrived in Uganda this past weekend to attend the Legend in Gold concert celebrating Jose Chameleone’s 25-year music career.

At the concert, Chameleone performed his greatest hits, including classics like “Bageya,” “Jamila,” “Mama Rhoda,” and “Wale Wale,” along with more recent hits such as “Kigwa Lero” and “Forever.”

Born on April 30, 1979, Jose Chameleone is a renowned AfroBeat artist who sings in Luganda, English, and Swahili. He began his music career in 1998 with the Kenyan label Ogopa Deejays, releasing his debut single, “Bageya,” featuring Redsan.

Zari attended the concert with her famous friends, enjoying Chameleone’s electrifying performance on August 31st.

Later, a video surfaced showing Zari and Shakib Cham dancing together, holding hands across a table. The couple swayed, whispered, and laughed as cameras captured their every move. Zari was dressed in white, while Shakib wore a black shirt and blue jeans. It seemed like an after-party setting, with bottles of champagne on the table as their friends cheered them on.

The two looked more in love than ever, despite weeks of an online feud about their marriage.

Their disagreement began in early August when Shakib expressed his displeasure that Zari hadn’t informed him about Diamond Platnumz’s visit to her house. Feeling disrespected, Shakib confronted Zari, who then responded angrily in a video.

This led to further personal issues between them being aired publicly. Currently, Zari and Shakib live separately, with Zari residing in South Africa while Shakib is based in Uganda.

South African-based Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan has stirred up social media with a cryptic post about men secretly starting families, just days after a public fallout with her husband, Shakib Cham Lutaaya.

“Women are secretly investing while men are secretly building families,” she stated.

“Take a seat, we are not on the same level,” she added, without further elaboration.

This post followed a public disagreement between Zari and Shakib, which erupted into the public eye. Reactions have been mixed, with some speculating that her comments reflect community observations, while others believe they stem from personal experience.

Recently, Zari criticized Shakib’s insecurities after a dispute involving the presence of her ex-partner, Diamond, at their daughter Tiffah’s birthday in Pretoria. Zari expressed frustration over Shakib’s feelings of competition with Diamond and questioned what he contributes to their relationship.

Diamond Platnumz is clearly not allowing his ex-girlfriend’s personal life to interfere with his relationship with their children. The Bongo star recently visited Zari Hassan’s home to celebrate their daughter Tiffah’s birthday, despite the potential tension it could create.

This visit comes just a week after his previous one, which reportedly caused friction between Zari and her husband, Shakib. In a detailed video, Zari shared that Shakib has been accusing her of entertaining her ex, forgetting that co-parenting requires some level of interaction.

Despite being aware of Shakib’s insecurities, Diamond still attended his daughter’s birthday, which sparked online chatter about his indifference to the situation. He even posted photos and videos from the party, asserting his role in his children’s lives.

Shakib, on the other hand, has remained silent about Diamond’s latest visit, likely to avoid further drama. However, given his reputation as an insecure partner, it’s fair to assume that the visit didn’t sit well with him. But then again, he knew what he was getting into when he married Zari.

Netizens, however, seem to sympathize with Shakib, considering his relatively young age and limited relationship experience compared to Zari.

In response, Zari, who appeared to be under the influence, denied inviting Platnumz, asserting that he is no longer a concern as they have been separated for years. She also told Shakib that she cannot enforce rules in their relationship due to his limited contributions.

Zari Hassan discusses the paternity of Hamisa Mobetto’s son

Posted on March 25, 2024 by Ozymandias

Zari Hassan, the mother of two of Diamond Platnumz’s children, recently addressed why her kids haven’t been seen socializing with Hamisa Mobetto’s son, shedding light on the situation. In an interview, Zari explained that she awaits confirmation from Diamond himself regarding the paternity of Hamisa’s child before allowing their interaction.

When asked by bloggers about the absence of Hamisa’s son in gatherings with Zari’s children, she stressed the importance of Diamond’s acknowledgment. Zari stated, “Diamond himself will explain if that child is his or not, but for me, I don’t know.” She reiterated her willingness to embrace Hamisa’s son if Diamond confirms his paternity.

Zari emphasized, “If he tells me this is my child and I want him to know the rest, I will welcome him until then, there’s no formal communication so I don’t know about it.” Diamond and Hamisa Mobetto’s son, Dylan, was born during Diamond’s relationship with Zari, leading to tensions between Hamisa and Zari.

In a previous interview, Hamisa addressed the issue of her son’s paternity, expressing reluctance to discuss it further due to her son’s young age. She emphasized the need to protect his mental well-being from online discussions.

Regarding her relationship with Diamond’s other women, Zari spoke positively about Zuchu, describing her as a “very good girl.” She highlighted the importance of maintaining communication with Diamond’s partners for the well-being of her children. “I speak to all Diamond Platnumz’s women. I speak to Tanasha Donna, I speak to Zuchu. Even when my kids go to Tanzania, I call Zuchu,” Zari revealed.

She stressed the necessity of informing Diamond’s partners when her children visit their father in Tanzania to ensure their comfort and safety. Zari Hassan is currently in Tanzania for a business trip.

Ugandan socialite and businesswoman, Zari Hassan, recently shed light on her husband Shakib Lutayaa’s professional endeavors, dispelling rumors about his employment status simply because he often accompanies her.

In an interview, the mother of five shared insights into their marriage and addressed speculation about Shakib’s occupation. Zari clarified that he is involved in the car sales business and various other ventures, emphasizing that he indeed has his own work commitments.

“His frequent presence with me doesn’t mean he’s unemployed. He has his own ventures, just like I do. I leave my work for him too. Many people don’t know that my husband sells cars and engages in other business activities. It’s easy for them to jump to conclusions,” she explained.

When asked about their plans for expanding their family, Zari revealed that they are actively considering having a child together.

“Yes, we are planning to have a baby. We’re excited about the prospect of growing our family. Maybe we’ll even have two, but for now, we’re focused on welcoming our first child together,” she expressed.

Regarding her relationship with Diamond’s other children’s mothers, Zari clarified that she maintains communication with some of them, particularly Zuchu and Natasha Donna, for the sake of their children’s well-being.

Zari emphasized the importance of fostering cordial relationships to ensure a harmonious environment for their kids. She revealed that she even reaches out to Zuchu when her children visit Tanzania, acknowledging Zuchu’s kindness and willingness to facilitate their interactions.

“People often assume that I don’t communicate with Diamond’s other women. I do speak with Mama NJ and Zuchu. Even when the children visit Tanzania, I reach out to Zuchu instead of Diamond. Zuchu is very kind, and if I don’t communicate with her and if she’s the one who has my children there, what will I be doing?” Zari stated, underscoring the importance of maintaining positive connections for the sake of their shared children.
