Shakib: "I was planning to move from Uganda, come to South Africa."
Zari: "No, I'll be so tired. I can't stand you for a month."
Shakib: "Why?"
Zari: "Nah... it's just too much. I am busy. Like, I'm busy. I am doing a lot of adverts, I'm travelling. There's kids, there's running a business."
This development follows Zari's recent public admonition of Shakib, where she downplayed his significance in her life, cautioning him to be more careful in their relationship.
The socialite, known simply as Zari, took to social media to voice her frustration after Shakib expressed dissatisfaction with her hosting Diamond Platnumz, the father of her child. Diamond had travelled to South Africa to celebrate the birthday of their daughter, Tifah.
In an unapologetic online rant, Zari asserted that she owns and maintains all the luxury cars and properties she resides in, emphasising that she is not worried about losing anything simply because Shakib is upset.
“No one is going to wake up and say that I’m being kicked out of my house because of something I said... The Brabus I drive is mine; I also drive a Maybach and own a Range Rover. They all belong to me,” she stated firmly.
Zari expressed her surprise at Shakib’s anger over Diamond’s visit, highlighting that she wasn’t even involved in the surprise visit to South Africa. She suggested that Diamond might have conspired with some of the people she lives with to gain access to her home.
She further explained that Shakib started overreacting after seeing Diamond at the party, questioning her whereabouts and insinuating that she still has feelings for him.
Zari also revealed that Diamond, with whom she shares two children, regularly sends her money for their kids. She questioned what Shakib contributes to the relationship that would justify her constantly needing to prove herself to him.
