“He almost suffocated me” Zari Hassan on living with an insecure and abusive husband

Zari Hassan who was once married to the late Ivan Don recently sat down to have a candid interview with YouTuber Toke Makinwa and for the first time she opens up about her marriage, revealing some unknown things.

Okay, since we already know that her marriage to the late Ivan Don was toxic; Zari gives an insight of how their love slowly started getting affected by jealousy and how he started abusing her.

Zari with late ex husband, Ivan

According to Zari, the first time Ivan hit her was when she was only 3 months pregnant; but being in love – she ignored this not knowing this would grow into a habit.

Speaking about violence in relationships, the mother of five said;

Abuse starts with a word, it can start with verbal abuse. something that diminishes you as a person. Sometimes it gets very physical and very violent.

Insecurities

With time, Zari says that her late ex husband perfected his art at hitting her to a point that her boys even noticed the fights. She went on to narrate how her son once confronted about the fights asking why she (Zari) was allowing their dad (Ivan) to hit her;

It got to a point where my son asked me why he kept doing that (abusing me). It hurt me so badly, it was like a sword had been pierced through my heart.

Well if you thought that this was only happening at home, turns out that Ivan had gotten so much power that he could even hit her in-front of people.

Narrating about one of their public fights, Zari said;

It was something that was in him. He once hit me so badly in a club because someone looked at me. I was never allowed to look at other people. That night he beat me so bad that he almost suffocated me.

But all in all, Zari made it known that her reason for leaving the guy despite being her high-school sweetheart; is because she couldn’t let her boys continue seeing her in such a state.

Take notes: Zari Hassan explains how most women end up in toxic relationships

Zari Hassan has lived long enough to differentiate between a good man and a user. So far she has dated the likes of the late Ivan Don before moving to singer Diamond Platnumz and of course many others we know nothing about.

Zari Hassan with Diamond Platnumz

However what we know is that back in the day when she dated Diamond Platnumz; Zari faced a lot of humiliation from her baby – something that helped her get wiser with time.

Since then she now understands why women should never try fixing a broken man; with hopes of ‘he will change’ or will get over a certain phase.

Dont be part of the construction crew – Zari Hassan

Well, I guess the lesson were learnt after the many times she tried putting Diamond Platnumz in check;  only for him to continue cheating on her with younger girls.

Anyway, the boss lady shared the piece of advice through her Instagram page where she wrote;

He is just broken, I think I can fix him’. Sis, he’s got 8 other women trying to fix him. Don’t be part of the construction crew…Some situations don’t require faith, hope or patience but common sense #forever

Well – I don’t know who need to hear this but Zari May have helped a sister or two with her post.

Zari Hassan on why ladies should not mismanage their ‘honey pots’

I am thinking at 40 years, Zari Hassan has faced enough challenges as a woman moving from relationship to another.

With an almost 20 year experience of relationships, Zari Hassan has learnt the importance of managing her time, energy and mostly her honey pot!

Zari Hassan

Well, of course time has changed over the years but according to Zari one thing that remains constant is class! Yes, Zari Hassan recently shared a post through her page urging women not to mismanage the power they hold.

As seen on the post Zari Hassan wrote;

Also read:

Hunnies don’t mismanage your time, energy or va***a.

Explains why

Well according to Zari it’s better off to leave people assuming one has attitude; than being available for every Tom, Dick and Harry; not her words but you get it right?

Anyway to make her point clear, Zari went on to explain saying;

They will think you have an attitude, but strong women have boundaries and standards!!
#forever

Zari’s the boss lady

Although at first Diamond Platnumz didn’t know the kind of woman he was dealing with; truth is, the Bongo singer may have lost one of the classiest women he could have bagged in his life.

Well, I say this because it’s no secret that Zari Hassan may have had her ratchet years in her 20’s and 30’s; but something about her changed and is now among the top boss ladies with businesses in Africa.

From her lifestyle to how she carries herself, I think young women taking advice from her isn’t that bad. Right?

Zari Hassan’s friend reveals what led to their nasty breakup (Video)

For a minute Zari Hassan almost convinced us that her circle of friends are mature, busy and drama free people.

Zari’s circle of friends

However, just like most women, they too have drama; and scandals involving men and the gossip is way nastier than that of real housewives series.

Just a few hours ago, Zari shared a post telling off one of her former friends, Norma; who she claims has been gossiping her around. From the post, Zari not only threatened to expose the dirt she has on this former friend (Norma); but also promised to make sure the ex husband finds out the kind of woman he had been married to. Like I said, drama!

Norma with Lasizwe

Norma speaks

However turns out that the whole drama was sparked from Lasizwe’s YouTube show Drink or tell the truth; where Norma happened to spill some details on Zari being a fake friend. (Lasizwe is a gay South African Socialite said to have dated Zari’s king bae) Alaaar!

Anyway, according to Norma, Zari allegedly bad mouthed a while back while on a trip Zimbabwe; which led to the current drama. Speaking to Lasizwe, Norma said;

Our friend that we hooked Zari with told me what Zari said about me while they were in Zimbabwe.

Zari said I must stop talking to you (Lasizwe). So I decided to ignore Zari and take your side. I didn’t like a friend that was honest only in my presence but in my absence, you’re not. I didn’t feel the need of explaining myself. I distanced myself.

Well, most of these South African divas (Zari circle) are clearly people over 40; but damn, all that money still got them doing teenage girls drama in the name of ‘boyfriends.’

“I’ll strip you naked” Zari Hassan threatens to expose former fake friend

Boss lady Zari Hassan is back on social media;  and unfortunately she is not happy with one of her former friends believed to be bad mouthing her. Women.

According Zari despite having fallen off with this particular friend; the drama  from their past relationship continues to follow her – however this is something the boss lady will not be putting up with.

Just to prove how annoyed and irritated she is about this former friend; Ms Zari through her IG stories posted a photo of the alleged lady to which she captioned;

 I’m living a drama free life because I no longer hang out with fake people like you. You were here for the likes and followers. Every time I tagged you, you got excited when you got followers like a kid in a candy store.

Zari with the shade

Well not quite sure what led to this nasty fallout; but truth is – from how Zari threw the shade, chances are that this is about gossip and rumors surrounding boss lady’s life and way of living.

Anyway on the same post, she went on to add;

The real reason behind my breakup with you was more than gossiping for TV Clout. I’m the last person you want to provoke. Norma I will expose you, I’ll strip you naked. Don’t come come me unless I have called for you. Your ex husband will be shocked married to a mahosha or a wife. come slow sis, I don’t do drama, I burnt that all building. I no longer live there. Peace.

In another post, the boss lady went on to add;

Zari Hassan reveals why she broke up with Nigerian boyfriend, thee dark Stallion

Boss lady Zari Hassan says that she recently decided to let go of someone she truly misses but since the said person did not build her in any way – she therefore has no regrets.

Ftom the cryptic text shared on her social media pages; it’s obvious to tell that she was referring to her current hot dark stallion Nigerian boyfriend.

Zari dumps boyfriend, Dark Stallion

The two had dated for close to 5 months or more before Zari Hassan decided to call off the relationship.

This comes as a big surprise considering that fans felt thee dark Stallion was an upgrade for the boss lady; who also couldn’t keep her hands off him. She wrote;

I miss him, but I had to let him go. If it doesn’t build me I won’t keep it.

Zari slippery after reconnecting with baby daddy?

Well, so far we all understand that Zari and Diamond Platnumz have an upcoming reality show that will focus on both their lives and that of their kids.

This may also explain the breakup since we might just get to witness Zari and Diamond Platnumz rekindle their old flame; and yes, for the sake of a successful show indeed thee Stallion had to go.

Diamond Platnumz with Zari and their kids, Tiffah and Nillan

Looking at her social media pages, you’ll also notice that Zari already deleted all her photos with thee dark Stallion; which means, she’s back in business with baby daddy as their reality show is about to start airing on Netflix.

Zari Hassan’s South African reality show lands at Netflix

Netflix has swooped in to land a reality series about Zari Hassan and boy are we excited for the boss lady setting standards to allAfrican women.

The excited mother of 5 shared the good news through her social media pages where she introduced the new show dubbed, Young, famous and African. From the caption this show will be based on Zari’s life and those of her friends in Mzansi.

Zari Hassan

Being one who was married and divorced to a rich husband, there is so much fans are yet to learn about the boss lady; and what better way than a reality show that will allow fans to get to know Zari better.

Introducing the show through a poster shared on her page, Ms Zari wrote;

Zari Hassan and Diamond Platnumz

Born in Uganda. Flourishing in Mzansi. Now we’re taking over Netflix! See me bossing it up on @netflixsa and @naijaonnetflix’s first-ever African reality show, coming soon! #YoungFamousAndAfrican

Celebrity Mum

The show, which is part of a larger, overall content and brand alliance will definitely feature Diamond Platnumz and other celebrities; meaning this is indeed a big show and obviously will take viewers inside Zarinah’s glamorous, stressful and high-speed personal and professional antics of the 40 year old mum.

‘Aliwacha filter SA’ Zari Hassan ruthlessly trolled over new photos

Whenever Zari is in Tanzania, social media pages especially Instagram get flooded with her photos; but we always tend to see a difference between her normal photos and that from Paparazzi.

Zarina Hassan

Of course this is because those taken by Paparazzi are raw unedited material; while the ones posted by the boss lady are from either Snapchat or a photo editor application.

Her recent visit to bongo has once again given fans a reason to talk mostly because the Zari seen in these pictures is different from the one we are used to. The new photos show an aging Zari – and expected Tanzanians had to step in and make use of this opportunity.

Zari minus filters

Although these photos tend to make the boss lady look different or rather old; word has it that she actually looks 20 years younger when you see her in person.

Most fans who have had the chance to mingle with her couldn’t let haters dim Zari’s light as most defended her beauty; saying those spreading the photos clearly have malicious agendas.

Anyway checkout these photos below.

Weuh! “I want to work with Johnny Sins” Zari Hassan’s son reveals (Photo)

At this point we honestly cannot laugh at Zari or the posts shared by her teenage son, Raphael. Most parents will tell you that raising teenagers is quit hard but in this case; Raphael is driving his mother crazy!

A few months ago the young man came out to announce that he was gay; and blamed those raising him for lying that boys only date girls. This is after realizing that he finds guys more attractive; so yea, meaning he is not straight.

Raphael comes out

This post was however deleted really fast by his mum who later issued a statement saying that her son is straight; and if not she would fully support if he indeed turns out to be gay.

Pornstar career

Well, like we said – this is not a laughing matter especially now that Raphael has once again shared a controversial post claiming he wants to work with pornstar, John Sin.

The 13 year old boy shared this in a QnA post which was later deleted; but thank heavens for screenshots. In the post a friend asks Raphael what he would want to be in future saying;

What is your dreams? I mean who you want to be in future.

To which Raphael commented with a photo of adult actor John Sin and wrote;

I wanna work w him

Zari’s son into porn actor, John Sin

Well – let’s just say that Zari is not having an easy time as a mum especially with one teenager giving her sleepless nights. But come to think of it, could this be a cry for attention? Or is he

“Naomba uniwache” Wema Sepetu after Zari mocked her for being too skinny

Okay, we get it that Zari Hassan and Wema Sepetu will never get along; but hey, it’s been 5 years since their crazy drama that involved Bongo singer Diamond Platnumz – are they not tired? But who are women!

Wema Sepetu bedding with Zari over lost and found dog, Manunu

Anyway last week we had Zari blast Wema Sepetu in a comment where she trolled the Bongo actress for the weight loss; and for some reason – Ms associated the sudden weight loss to lack of food. Ouch.

As seen on the post, Zari wrote;

It’s Ramadahan na natoa msada. She could use some free food, naona kabakisha kichwa tu. Iyo njaa, let her eat some food, she will be fine.

Wema tired of beef

Well… Zari being one who savagely pays back at those bad mouthing her; clearly she did not leave any room for Wema to clap back.

Wema Sepetu with gossip monger Juma Lokole

Seeing that this word war is getting out of hand, the petite lass through her gram shared a post where she muted comments and wrote;

Naomba niseme hivi, Sipendi chokochoko… Maana Kunya anye kuku, akinya bata kaharisha sio… Kama maneno always yanaanziaga upande wa pili but ilivyo ada Wema ndo huonekana mwenye tatizo…

According to Wema Sepetu, she is now fed up with the insults and shady beef people (Zari) keep dragging her into. For this reason the lass concluded her post saying;

Nimechoka… Cause mi mdomo mchafu ninao haswaaaa but kuamuaga kukaa kimya nisionekane mjinga basi… Its Eid at the end of the day… Sitaki chokochoko…‼️ Ifike point niachwe jamani…. Akhaaa…‼️Jus wanted to address this na sitohitaji maoni ya mtu yoyote… Mkadiscuss huko kwa page zenu na sitaki kuziona… Nitakuwa busy na Eid yangu mie… Hope everyone has fun… Too much Love from me to You…

Zari Hassan distances herself from rumors linking her to Tanzanian baby Daddy

Rumor making rounds is that Diamond Platnumz who is in South Africa may be planning to get back with ex, Zari Hassan.

This was also indirectly confirmed by Romy Jones post where he bragged about being Zari’s in law; and in the comment section he was backed up by his bro, Diamond Platnumz who commented with a bomb emoji.

Romy Jones original post

However Judging from Zari’s posts we understand that the only relationship she has with baby daddy; is that of two parents coparenting. The lady seems to have finally moved on – and the man she chose has the likes of Juma Lokole hating; but oh well – isn’t he paid to publicly hate a person on behalf of his bosses?

Zari posts Dark Stallion

With Ramadan here and Diamond Platnumz in South Africa to ‘see the kids;’  thee dark Stallion took some time off his girlfriend’s place to give Diamond some ample time with his kids.

This however left many assuming that things between him and Zari Hassan were over; until Ms Zari on 11th May shared an adorable photo with her dark bae – to prove that her love for him remains the same.

Well, not quite sure why she chose to share the post – but one thing is for sure; she’s already aware of the rumors linking her to ex baby daddy – but problem is – she bagged a finer man at the end.

Checkout Zari’s post below.

Zari with new found love

Haiya! Zari Hassan’s new boyfriend ‘Thee Stallion’ reveals why he is fed up with Diamond Platnumz fans

Zari Hassan’s life changed the minute she started dating and Diamond Platnumz. This is because her life was now exposed to ruthless Bongo fans who enjoy trolling and larking; just to keep their lives entertained!

Deapite breaking up with the Bongo star, Diamond Platnumz – the same fans refused to let go of Zari Hassan; as most continue to dig deeper into her life.

Zari with bae, Dark Stallion

So far we understand Zari’s eldest sons still blame her for exposing their private lives to these people; and the latest victim happens to be Thee Black Stallion – who cannot stand the harassment he continues to suffer in the hands on these fans.

‘I can’t deal’ Black Stallion

As seen on one of his IG stories, the handsome Nigerian man complains about the number of DM’s he receives from the Tanzanian fans; looking to find out more about him.

According to the fella, in a day he receives close to 30 messages; and I’m pretty sure most of them are usually about Diamond Platnumz and Zari getting back together in future. To caption the screenshot, Black Stallion wrote;

Imagine 30 people per day. SMH

Zari’s man complaining about messages from fans

Not quit sure why he is complaining with such a small number in his DM; I mean, the late – Ivan Don was said to be receiving about 1000 message trolls in a day; and he never complained.

But come to think of it, Zari is still a star….he should have expected worse trolls!

Can your mother even? Zari Hassan reveals special present she will be gifting son on 18th birthday

Boss Lady Zari Hassan is proud of son, Pinto Tlale. Apart from being a calm young man, we understand that Pinto is also smart (hence the many scholarships) and above all; Zari Hassan has always spoken highly of this young man she gave birth to back in 2003.

Pinto

As seen on a new post shared by Ms Zarinah, we understand that Pinto will be celebrating his 18th birthday in August; and this being a new chapter for the young man – Zari (mum) feels that it’s also the best time to spoil him.

Through her IG stories the mother of 5 mentioned that Pinto’s good behavior; and selflessness has earned him the right to own a car. Although the boss lady does not mention what type of car she will be gifting Pinto, I can bet that it will be sleek. She wrote;

18 in August…Mama needs to get you a ride ???? You are a good kid. You deserve all good things @Pinto tlale.

Pinto turning 18 years in August

Zari and her soldiers

So far the boss lady has been playing the role of both mum and dad to her 5 kids despite having Diamond Platnumz as a baby daddy to Tiffah and Nillan.

Thee Ivan Don’s handsome sons

However word has it that the new boy friend has also been playing daddy; and the good thing is that kids love him for their mum.

Menopause ni wewe! Zari Hassan giving many sleepless nights with never seen before lingerie photo

This Easter many couples decided to show off with their spouses on social media; and guess what, Zari Hassan and bae, black Stallion were not left behind either.

From Ms Zari’s post we understand that the couple took a short vacay with the boys while the younger kids stayed back home with their nannies. Goals.

Of course hiring a yatch is a big deal and Ms Zari and her boys could not stay quiet about it either. They all went wild by sharing a number of photos on social media; until Zari dropped her hot lingerie/swimsuit photo on Snapchat.

Judging from the photo Zari is seen wearing a matching green bra and panty; which has left many wondering whether this was swimsuit or a lingerie – since we can all spot Black stallion in  the back with a towel around his waist.

Zari with bae

Zari at 40 years with a body of a 20 year old

Well, we cannot really tell whether the green ‘outfit’ was meant for bedtime or for swimming; but the kimono says this could have been more of a swimsuit – but hey!

Anyway with the new photo of Zari turning heads on social media; her former in-laws i.e Juma Lokole also seem to have been caught off guard as they cannot stop talking about her. Check out the new photo below.

Zari Hassan speaks about her struggle to conceive a baby girl – before Tiffah’s birth

With 3 boys back to back from her previous relationship with the late Ivan Don; Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan could not imagine a life without a baby girl who would at least take after her.

I mean the boys were okay – but having a girl in the house would just make everything better, right? Anyway, just like most mums with sons – Zari could not help but wish that someday she would have her own baby girl to bond with.

It may have taken time but, after meeting Singer Diamond Platnumz – ms Zari’s dream was finally fulfilled; as Simba gave her one of the cutest babies we have come to see on social media.

As the world marks a ‘Happy Women Day’ Ms Zari has joined in by sharing a couple of photos with daughter Tiffah. To caption the posts, Zari opened up about the prayers she offered just to have a daughter; and with Tiffah here – the prayers were indeed answered.

Zari explains relationship with daughter

Having a daughter who looks like just like her -ms  Zari remains one of the most proud mums out here. The socialite cum business lady went on to express her joy for the only daughter she has saying;

I prayed for you….I imagined us. And yes, we are here now. #MyBBF! I just love how you always pull up my back zips @princess_tiffah

I guess this is the kind of love that knows no boundaries; and although many claim daughters get undivided attention from their dads – wait till you see how much fun Zari has with her baby girl.

 

Savage: Zari Hassan claps back at critics predicting new relationship will end in premium tears

Zari Hassan has been making headlines thanks to her new man, Thee Stallion. Just like his nick name, yes Zari’s new man is hot, tall, dark and handsome; making fans jealous of the boss lady now that she has a real man by her side.

Don’t get me wrong – but after breaking up with East Africa’s finest – Diamond Platnumz; fans felt that Zari would never find a man enough to shake East Africans again. And with her ex husband Ivan Don dead, indeed there was no man left to play the boyfriend role in Zari’s life.

Zari Hassan with new bae, Thee Stallion

However just a few days ago, Zari Hassan  unveiled the new man keeping her bed warm; and judging from the comments left by fans – thee Stallion was indeed good enough to leave a few characters here and there talking on social media.

Zari responds to critics

With Zari over sharing photos of her new bae – fans on the other hand couldn’t help enjoy while it lasts; as most claim that this relationship will not last like the rest.

Pretty mean – but hey…the boss lady is always ready to handle her critics in the best possible way. Clapping back at those claiming that the relationship will end in premium tears; Ms Zari wrote;

Even if it ends in premium tears, are they your tears? We will have an after party. People surely love misery, you simply hate seeing others happy. Well, it’s all good with me.

Zari

Well, let’s just say Zari grew thick skin after breaking up with Diamond Platnumz. This time around, she cares less about what fans say or think about her relationships.

Upgrade! Zari Hassan unveils Mr Stallion aka new bae’s face on Valentines Day (Photo)

3 years ago Zari Hassan broke up with baby daddy, Diamond Platnumz; leaving many talking on social media.

Zari dumps baby daddy

For some reason she made fans believe that the lovers day was one of her least favorite days; until the special 2021’s Valentines Day – where we finally met her new man.

As seen on her social media pages – it’s obvious to see that Zari just upgraded her boyfriend game; and boy is her latest boyfriend quite a catch. The boss lady proudly parades him on her Instagram page; where she captioned the post saying;

Zari’s new boyfriend

This was indeed a happy moment for miss Zari   who took it upon herself to introduce the handsome man to her followers. As we already know, this lady is not one to post just anybody on her page – and I guess this is why Mr Stallion should be counting himself lucky!

New bae – don’t care

At 40 years, Zari who still looks like a teenager is proving that age is nothing but a number when it comes to money and love.

Youthful Zari Hassan

Thanks to her money she can maintain a youthful look; which makes it easier for her to bag any kind of man she wants. Luckily for Mr Stallion – Zari fell in love and she is not afraid to show it.

“So what if it ends in tears?” Zari Hassan responds to relationship critics

Zari Hassan appears to miss the old days when fans would criticize her new boyfriends; especially with most assuming that she has never moved on from singer, Diamond Platnumz since their online break up.

But such is life. The boss lady had to move on by force whether she liked it or not; besides her at that time Bongo baby daddy had another baby on the way, Dylan.

Anyway it has since been 3 years and a few fans on social media continue to troll Zari for flaunting her boyfriends. After a short term relationship with King bae – mother of 5 – Zarinah Hassan has yet again introduced a new dark guy she likes to call ‘Thee Black Stallion.”

Haters gonna hate

Just by his name….I can assure you that he sounds like the kind of man any woman would want to settle down with. I mean, what could be the reason behind Zari naming him the black Stallion?

Just to prove how serious about this new catch; Zari Hassan just a few hours ago went on to share ‘hand’ photos flaunting her new bae. In one of the posts Zari wrote;

The most miserable people will want to see you in their WhatsApp group. Don’t count me in that category a beg. I refuse to be one of you. Happiness lives here….if it ends in tears, let it. What will you as a person lose?

Zari

In yet another post, the boss lady bragged by writing;

Don’t break my lil hand errr I mean my ❤️ Mr man. Call him the dark stallion.

I guess it that season that most couples have to prove a point on social media, right?

‘The darker the berry…’ Zari Hassan’s young boyfriend finally unveiled (Video)

Zari Hassan may have broken up with Diamond Platnumz 3 years ago; but her East African fans cannot get enough of her. Unlike all the exes Diamond Platnumz has ever had, Zari remains the favorite to most East Africans who continue to keep up with her life.

However since the break up, Zari has made hard for many to know who she is dating; or is having fun with.

As far as the boyfriends are concerned – I can assure you that Zari has flaunted many faceless guys; but this past weekend, fans got lucky and unveiled the boss lady’s latest catch.

It all started with Zari sharing yet another faceless bae photo which she captioned;

Adulting

On to the next

Having married the late Ivan Don and dated Diamond Platnumz – it’s evident that Zari likes  her men dark like her coffee!

As seen on the video the man believed to be involved with Zari is as dark as the night; and his catchy smile explains why Zari could not hold back from hinting that she now has a boyfriend.

Well, I guess beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder; and despite her former in laws hating on her current – it appears that there are those who love her for who she is! Anyway watch the video below.

 

Zari joins Diamond Platnumz family in mocking Mzee Juma Abdul

It has not been easy for Mzee Juma Abdul who  been making headlines since Friday all thanks to Mama Dangote. This is after Ricardo Momo and Mama Diamond revealed that Mzee Abdul is not Bongo singer,Diamond Platnumz biological father.

With the revelation – many could not believe their ears or understand why the family decided to pull such a move; years after making everyone look down on the old man for allegedly neglecting his son.

Father and son! Diamond Platnumz and daddy

For a minute, Mzee Juma was hated on social media; and fans could not stand the fact that even after abandoning his son, he now wanted financial help. But thanks to the new story – it appears that fans were directing their energy towards the wrong dad. Most believe Mzee Nyange’s mistakes were all pinned to Mzee Juma for clout.

Tiffah to change surname

Anyway, shortly after the story went viral – so did the baby mamas start panicking especially after finding out that Diamond Platnumz surname could be changed at any given minute.

Zari Hassan who is quite close to Mama Dangote quickly went on to make fun of the ongoing drama; as she shared a photo of Tiffah with her papa – but in the caption she wrote;

Tiffah with her dad

Papa????‍???? Nyange and Nanyange

In the comment section many felt like Zari used this opportunity to mock the old man; forgetting how she was once put down by the same family after her breakup with Diamond Platnumz. But hey, such is life!

Zari’s people

“Stop texting me” Zari Hassan’s son screams after online ‘uncles’ allegedly jump into his DM

January has not been an easy month for bosslady Zari Hassan thanks to her 13 year old son, Raphael Junior. This is after the young man went on an IG live session to declare that he was only attracted to fellow boys.

Judging from the video, the young man is heard talking about having been taught that women are for men; but having soul searched, he discovered that he is different.

Raphael declares he is gay

This move however cost both him; and his family as social media fans rushed in to get more tea from the minor. His mother however tried to fix the mess by claiming her son is not who he claims to be; as he already has a girlfriend. But went on to add that just in case he turned out gay – she would then support him no matter what.

Raphael asks for peace of mind

Well, as you all know Tanzanians in social media can be quite aggressive even when it comes to bullying; and thanks to a post shared by Raphael, we have every reason to believe his DM is overflowing with messages from Tanzanians and others.

Raphael comes out

According to a Tanzanian news outlet, they suspect that after Raphael announcement may have triggered online ‘Uncles’ who are now proud of Raphael’s decision of being different.

Of course this was bound to happen sooner or later; hence Zari’s bitter live session where she went on to shield her son. This is probably because she understood the damage he may have caused; and judging from his latest post where he wrote;

Okay stop texting me

Zari’s son

It’s clear to see that despite using the ‘gay move’ to keep off older women away; only to drift all the attention to the opposite sex – which probably isn’t as pretty. Anyway since this is a matter Zari and family are currently handling- let’s hope Raphael finds his peace soon.

 

Zari reveals why Tanzanian women are to blame for ‘making’ her son gay

Zari Hassan earlier today had a live session to discuss about her son’s revelation on being a gay man. Judging from what Raphael said during his live session, one would have thought that the young man was looking for acceptance; and did not feel like hiding his identity.

In the live session Raphael opened up saying;

Personally I like boys, men….that’s just how it is! So if you wanna ask questions you can ask….I’m very serious…..yea I’m gay….100% gay dude

A confession that has left his mum explaining the whole situation on social media; but truth is, most fans feel that the 13 year old knew what he was saying.

“Raphael is discovering himself”

However despite saying that her son Raphael is not gay, Zari seems to have all this figured out and now blames Bongo women for pushing her son that direction.

According to Zari, her son Raphael has been dealing with shameless women running into his DM where they leave nasty photos of their private parts; and others leave them rose videos and photos.

Raphael declares he is gay

She went on to claim that for close to 3/4 years now her sons have become targets to these women; and probably Raphael’s confession may have been the best thing that her son ever did.

However, Zari now says that she is open to support her son whether he is gay or not; but 13 years old…Raphael has some discovering to do!

Zari Hassan speaks after son comes out of the closet

It must really be hard for Zari to explain why her son Raphael went on an Instagram live to declare that he is a gay man. Probably this was for fun and games; but judging from how fast the news has travelled on social media, let’s just say Zari is not having a good time.

Well on Wednesday night Raphael went on an Instagram live session which he captioned;

Raphael declares he is gay

  I’m coming out ????️‍????

and pinned;

  don’t judge me

Of course it’s evident to see that the young man knew what he was saying; but it seems like Zari does not agree with the confession made by her son.

Zari speaks

Just like any loving mother who would want to protect her children from online bullies and other characters; Ms Zari has finally spoken about her son coming out through his IG live session.

According to her, the young man did this to put off grown women who have been sending her son naked photos and others borrowing money from him. At least them knowing he is gay will keep them off his DM – an explanation many find hard to believe. Responding to fan concerning Raphael’s post Zari wrote;

He actually has a girlfriend amechoka natakataka kumtongoza dm. Wanawake wakubwa kumtumia uchiwao. Wengine kuomba omba dollar. Maybe it was a good thing to say he is gay. Now y’all will chill???? and leave him alone

Could be true or not…but as for now let’s see how things unfold from here.

Word making rounds on social media is that Zari Hassan’s son Raphael Junior is a member of the gay community. Not a rumor but something the young man went on to Instagram to announce on the night of Wednesday, 6th January.

Raphael declares he is gay

According to several gossip tabloid ie the originaleast who managed to get a screenshot from the 60 seconds live session; we can clearly see that it was indeed Raphael’s IG page that has now been deactivated.

As seen on the screenshot, Raphael went on to publicly announce that he was coming out. He wrote;

I’m coming out ????️‍????

and just to make it clear that he was proud of the man he has since become; he went on to pin asking his followers not to judge him. He pinned;

don’t judge me

 

from the screenshot above one can clearly see that the person seen on the camera Raphael; and since his IG is already deactivated it also means that his mum has taken all the electronic gadgets – to avoid more damage.

Raphael comes out

Well, being a minor we really can’t add more to this; but allow the family to handle it before they publicly address it.

Raphael is believed to be around 16 or 17 years since his brother will be turning 18 years pretty soon.

Is this a reincarnation?

Socialite cum business lady Zari Hassan has left tongues wagging on social media after unveiling a new photo of her grown up son; leaving many surprised and impressed at how fast the young man has grown.

Judging from his height, we can assure you that Zari’s first born son is a replica of his late dad, Don Ivan. Through her Instagram page the mother of 5 went on to share the never seen before photo which she captioned;

  Heading to the store…. chips, snacks, chocolates, ice-cream, ice tea or cigarettes anyone?

It’s not just the body and height but also the eyes, mouth and nose that prove this young boy took after his father. What’s more surprising is that after taking a social media break, Zari’s son has returned with an undeniable resemblance to his late dad.

However we understand growing up, The Ssemwanga boys were quite close with their dad- and now that he is gone, all they have is memories to keep them going.

Their mum Zari Hassan on the other hand has now settled down as her boys are now becoming grown men; and just like any loving mum, she does not want to miss out on anything involving them.

Anyway although Zari likes to post her Tanzanian children on social media; the lass says that she would like to do the same with her grown boys but they requested her to stop since they prefer keeping their lives off social media.
