Zari Hassan Warns Husband Shakib Over Insecurities After Diamond Platnumz's Surprise Visit

Tension has escalated between Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan and her husband, Shakib Cham Lutaaya, following the unexpected appearance of Zari's ex-partner, Diamond Platnumz, at their South African mansion. The visit was meant to surprise their daughter, Tiffah, on her 9th birthday, but it has instead sparked serious concerns about trust and transparency in Zari's marriage.

The Birthday Surprise

On August 6, 2024, Diamond Platnumz made a surprise trip to South Africa to celebrate his daughter Tiffah's birthday. While the gesture was intended to make Tiffah's day special, it left Shakib feeling blindsided and frustrated. Zari, who hosted the event, claimed she had no prior knowledge of Diamond's visit and was just as surprised as her husband when he arrived.

Shakib's Insecurities

Shakib's reaction to Diamond's visit has highlighted deeper issues in his relationship with Zari. He reportedly called her multiple times during the event to check on her whereabouts, a move that Zari found to be rooted in unwarranted insecurity. The situation has since escalated, with Shakib accusing Zari of harboring feelings for her ex.

In response, Zari took to social media to address the matter, firmly stating that her relationship with Diamond is purely co-parental. "Let me tell you something, if I want to get back to Diamond I can be back. If Diamond wants to get back to me he can be back. But we are so over each other. I don’t want him, he doesn’t want me; I have a husband, he has a girlfriend,” she asserted.

Co-Parenting Challenges

Zari also emphasized the importance of co-parenting, making it clear that she will not keep her children away from their father. Despite Shakib's concerns, Zari reiterated that her focus is on maintaining a healthy environment for her children, which includes allowing them to spend time with their father, Diamond.

“But my husband is very insecure, and that is causing a lot of problems," Zari expressed, noting that Shakib's insecurities are beginning to take a toll on their marriage. She revealed that she had to go live on social media just to prove her loyalty to her husband, a situation she found both frustrating and unnecessary.

A Strong Message to Shakib

Zari did not hold back in expressing her disappointment over Shakib's behavior. She issued a stern ultimatum, warning him that if he does not address his insecurities, she is prepared to leave. "Me, Zari the boss lady, I am a millionaire, I am intelligent. I can be with whoever I want, but I chose my husband, and I don’t care how you guys see him... I chose to be with him, but he has to put me through this. Aiii my guy, you better change, my guy, you better recognize…” she remarked.

The 43-year-old mother of five made it clear that her happiness and self-worth are her top priorities. "If my guy doesn’t want to recognize who I am… shame. I will definitely find someone who is going to recognize my worth because I am worth so much more.”

Past Issues Resurface

This isn't the first time Zari and Shakib have faced tension over her interactions with Diamond. Earlier this year, a viral video of Zari holding hands with Diamond sparked a storm on social media, leading Shakib to feel disrespected. Zari later clarified that the video was meant to promote Diamond's song 'Mapoz' and apologized to her husband for any hurt caused.

As the situation between Zari and Shakib unfolds, it remains to be seen how their relationship will evolve. For now, Zari has made it clear that she will not tolerate insecurity and mistrust in her marriage, and she is prepared to take drastic steps if necessary to protect her peace and happiness.
