East Africa’s top celebrity couple of Diamond Platnumz and Zari Hassan has finally fallen apart.
The Ugandan businesswoman appears to have finally had enough of the singer’s philandering ways and called it quits. And she did it in style, choosing to make the big announcement as lovers all over the world celebrated Valentine’s Day.
Citing Diamond’s alleged flings with a bevy of beauties, Zari said that it was “very difficult” for her to end the relationship.
The mother of five stated that her respect, dignity, integrity, and well-being cannot be comprised.
“There have been multiple rumors some with evidence floating around in ALL SORTS of media in regards to Diamond’s constant cheating and sadly I have decided to end my relationship with Diamond, as my RESPECT, INTEGRITY, DIGNITY & WELL BEING cannot be compromised,” Zari’s post on Instagram reads in part.
She, however, noted that they are separating as partners but not as parents.
Her post reads:
“Understand that this is very difficult for me to do.
There have been multiple rumors some with evidence floating around in ALL SORTS of media in regards to Diamond’s constant cheating and sadly I have decided to end my relationship with Diamond, as my RESPECT, INTEGRITY, DIGNITY & WELL BEING cannot be compromised.
We are separating as partners but not as parents. This doesn’t reduce me as a self-made individual, and as a caring mother, and the boss lady you have all come to know. I will continue to build as a mogul, I will inspire the world of women to become boss ladies too. I will teach my four sons to always respect women, and teach my daughter what self-respect means.
Unlike many, I’ve been in the entertainment industry for 12 years, and through all my challenges I came out a victor because I am a winner, and so are all of you Zari supporters. HAPPY VALENTINE’S.”
The break up comes in the wake of a new development in a child support case by Tanzanian model Hamisa Mobetto against Diamond.
The case was thrown out of court this week after the former lovers reached an out of court agreement. Could Diamond have gone behind Zari’s back to reach this agreement? We can only speculate.
The split has been months in the making since Diamond confessed to cheating on Zari with Hamisa but it has still taken the continent by surprise.
A majority of Zari’s over 3.6 million Instagram followers hailed Zari’s decision while others were crushed to see one of their favorite love stories come to an unhappy ending.
The next few weeks will be interesting to watch and it is expected Diamond will get back together with the much younger Hamisa Mobetto.
The Tanzanian singer can also expect to be served with fresh child support court papers from the self-styled boss lady, Zari.
