Lutaya revealed that a private conversation in which he criticised Zari was secretly recorded and leaked by a close friend. This all unfolded after Zari publicly blasted him for questioning her about hosting Tanzanian superstar and father of her children, Diamond Platnumz, during his visit to South Africa.
Shakib Lutaya has expressed regret over harsh remarks he made about his wife, Zari Hassan, following a heated social media spat.

In a recent interview, Shakib explained: “I didn’t leak the audio. A friend called me just after Zari’s live video had gone viral, and I was still upset. I was really affected by what I saw... I don’t have many friends who check on me, and when they called, I said a lot out of anger. It wasn’t meant to be like that. I didn’t know I was being recorded. As angry as I was, there are things I wouldn’t discuss.”
Zari has also apologised to Shakib, admitting that her social media outburst stemmed from frustration. She clarified that her recent trip to Kampala was meant to reconcile with her husband, acknowledging that venting online was a mistake.

Zari admitted she let her emotions get the better of her and used "the wrong platform" to express her feelings.
Back in August, Zari had taken to social media to remind her husband, Shakib Lutaaya, of his relatively minor role in her life, urging him to be cautious in their relationship. Her frustration was sparked when Shakib expressed displeasure over her hosting Diamond Platnumz, the father of her child. Diamond had travelled to South Africa to attend the birthday celebration of Tifah, the daughter he shares with Zari.
