Zari Hassan has taken to social media to defend her husband’s age after some people criticized their age difference.

Zari, 42, is married to Ugandan man Shakib Cham, who is 31 years old. Some people have commented that Zari is “dating a child” or that her husband is “almost her son’s age.”

In a post on Instagram Stories, Zari responded to the criticism, saying:

“People are like, you are dating a child, he almost your son’s age, he’s not even 18. Really?”

“The brighter side of life right now is that you get to know my husband and he’s a fully grown man. And he’s not a child, okay?”

Zari went on to say that she is happy with her husband and that their age difference is not an issue. She also said that she is tired of people judging her relationship.

“I’m tired of people judging me and my relationship,” she said. “I’m happy and that’s all that matters.”

Zari’s response to the criticism has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have praised her for standing up for her husband, while others have continued to criticize their age difference.

Regardless of the criticism, Zari seems to be happy with her husband and their relationship. She has said that she is not going to let other people’s opinions dictate her happiness.

Zari Hassan and Shakib Lutaaya are officially man and wife after dating for over 10 months The Ugandan socialite hooked up with the 30-year-old masculine man in May 2022 after dumping wannabe celebrity GK Choppa Zari and Shakib have been globe-trotting together since then, serving couple goals to the amusement and annoyance of many On April 16, the lovebirds tied the knot in a simple Islamic Nikah ceremony and shared videos and photos flaunting their flashy rings.

Now, most netizens have been roped in to speak over the wedding that Zari & Shakib kept surreptitious just for hours. Some claim that Zari was under pressure to get married. Why?

Well, to begin with, Zari is kinda getting old. And her folks would only laugh at her for not being able to keep a man.  Secondly, Akothee, her fellow socialite, is already having the time of her life with her hubby Schweizer. And her wedding has been known far & wide through East Africa.

But Zari has denied that Akothee’s wedding expedited her marriage. She shared a video claiming that a section of fans are trying to tarnish her name and ruin her happiness. Zari claims she’s happier now than ever after wedding the love of her life.

It’s clear that people will definitely try to destroy your relationship; especially when you seem to be happy with your partner. Zari’s hubby, better known to many as the ‘Dark Stallion’ is on the receiving end. It took long for Zari to reveal his face to the world, evidently because she feared people ruining what they were building. Most people criticized their relationship and said it would end in premium tears, just like her previous relationships. But Zari cared less about critics and walked into the relationship anyway.

Zari’s Relationship On The Edge?

Zari’s fear might become a reality. Maybe it was better when no one knew his face. Anyway, her hubby is receiving DMs on his Instagram. The ‘Dark Stallion’ claims he wakes up to different message requests. He hates it! And he’s making it clear to everyone who thinks they can convince him otherwise.

The Nigerian ‘Stallion’ , whose name is Jerry Ebi Ebi, is not a fan of social media as such. Posting a screenshot of his DMs, he wrote;

”I hate it… Imagine I wake up with 36 DM… smh.. You guy can you stop this plzzz”

Well, for somebody who is not a fan of social media, 36 DMs in one morning is a lot. He didn’t specify if it’s women trying to snatch him from Zari, but I’m sure they are after him.

Ugandan  socialite, musician and businesswoman Zari Hassan has clapped back at Diamond’s friend Juma Lokole who tried to body shame her by calling her fat.

Lokole is rumoured to have joined the Dangote family by being a friend of Diamond’s sister Esma Platnumz and enjoys working closely with Diamond.

This happens days after Diamond’s Ex Tanasha Donna visited him at the capital and shared a stage with her. Tanasha has also released her latest song featuring Bahati.

A fan reached out to the mother of five with information that Lokole, who works at Wasafi FM was talking ill of her. This act prompted Zari to hit back with no chills.

Hassan returned to her native Uganda in 2000, after two years in the United Kingdom. She moved to South Africa where she met and fell in love with her now ex-husband. In 2013, she divorced Ivan Semwanga, whom she accused of physically abusing her.

In May 2017, Semwanga had a massive stroke and was admitted to Steve Biko Academic Hospital. He slipped into a coma, then recovered, but again his health deteriorated, and he died on 25 May 2017. He was buried in Uganda. Following the funeral, Hassan returned to South Africa to manage her businesses and some of her late husband’s enterprises.

Zari Hassan also recently took her kids back to school after a long holiday. The mum posted a photo of her boys dressed in oversized coats and a fan dared to poke fun at their school fashion. Zari quickly hit back and intelligently told the woman to buzz off and mind her business.

Zari is evidently protective about her family and also herself. She doesn’t entertain mockery from anyone.
