Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan has threatened to leave her husband, Shakib, due to his insecurity. In a recent social media post, Zari expressed her frustration with having to constantly justify herself to Shakib whenever her former partner, Diamond Platnumz, visits.
Zari revealed that Shakib is troubled by the belief that she and Diamond are still involved, which is causing significant strain in their marriage. She clarified that there is no romantic connection between her and Diamond, emphasizing that both she and Diamond have moved on—she is married, and Diamond is in a relationship with someone else.
Zari stated, “If I wanted to reunite with Diamond, I could. If he wanted to come back to me, he could, but we are completely over each other. I don’t want him, and he doesn’t want me. I have a husband, and he has a girlfriend. However, my husband’s insecurity is creating problems. I find myself needing to explain and prove myself, even having to go live just to reassure him.”
She noted that despite public opinions about Shakib being less affluent or not suited for her, she chose to be with him and expects him to respect her. She warned that if he cannot recognize her worth, she would consider finding someone who does.
Zari added, “I don’t care about what people say—whether he’s broke or not good enough. I chose him, and he needs to respect that. If he fails to appreciate who I am, I will find someone who will. I am worth much more.”
In a final note, she humorously told female followers interested in Shakib that they are welcome to him, suggesting that managing him would be their responsibility.
The tension began when Diamond made an unexpected appearance at their daughter’s birthday party, further aggravating the situation.
