Socialite Zari Hassan has vowed to have fun and nothing will stop her. When her lover boy took her for a treat in Mombasa, some circles were on her case again, claiming it was too soon to have such fun considering that she had lost two close people in her life that include ex-husband and her mother.

Zari explained that she has to appear strong now that everyone in the family looks up to her including the kids, so breaking down will mean that every other person follows suit.
While on holiday, the couple went through a lot of pampering plus lots of activities ranging from jet skiing and boat cruise among others and all this was to try and occupy Zari's mind to forget the past problems that have been eating her up lately.
On Sunday night, the couple was back in Nairobi for an exclusive party with their fans.
As Zari was still coping with the death of her ex-hubby, Ivan Semwanga, her mother, Halima Sultan Hassan has passed on aged 58. Zari's mom died this morning at Nakasero Hospital where she has been hospitalized for close to a month.
Over the weekend, Zari was in Kayunga to visit the grave of Ivan Semwanga. Gone but not forgotten were the words she used and as she got back to Kampala, the mom of five told whoever cared to know that she was having sleepless nights following her mother who was not well.

This morning, Zari using her social networks informed her over 3 million followers on IG that her mom had passed on.
"It's with deep sorrow that my family and I announce the death of our lovely mother who passed on this morning. May her soul rest in peace."
Her baby daddy, Dimaond Platnumz used her wall to mourn his mother-in-law. "Mwenyez Mungu ailaze Roho yako Mahali Pema Peponi Amini.." Translated as "May her soul rest in eternal peace.."
It's now left to be seen if he will be coming over for burial.
All is not well with the Platnumz' the house is on fire. It all stems from the Ivan Semwanga death. Diamond Platnumz, 27, has in the last few days been posting about his mom, Sanura Kassim at the expense of his beautiful baby mama, Zari.
First, he made a 'Love you mom' post which was alright, but less than a day later, he added another post; "Me and the Real woman of my life." to drive his point home.
The real woman in his life is not Zari going by the above statement. This takes us back to the post he made after snubbing the Kayunga burial. Diamond while appearing on Kenya's Capital FM told listeners that he will be in Kampala for the requiem mass, but he was a no show.
Initially, we thought he was trying to keep away from the drama that surrounded the whole process, but looking at the double faced post of a woman, made a week back; it just goes on to confirm the cracks in their relationship.

"Too many fake people in this world and It's very hard to tell," Diamond noted on his IG. It turns out this was about Zari because the message he sent her for losing her ex-hubby wasn't original, it was a newspaper cut out titled; 'To Whom It may Concern.'
"I really wish I could hug you now instead of this text message. I know you must be feeling devastated and lonely now. Know that you are not alone. I am right here with you, day or night." This 'To whom it may concern' note had Zari's pic implying that this was her message.
Platnumz had earlier informed his fans that he will be coming over, but missed out at the requiem mass that had been held the previous day, Zari did not leave Kampala until the following day hoping that the Bong Flava star would make it, 'wapi,' he was no where to be seen.
"Thank you Diamond Platnumz for allowing me mourn the death of my ex husband and be there for the boys as they needed me. Thank you so much for understanding and supporting us you are the best.."
One thing about life is that nothing is permanent, everything is temporary. Life is always about enjoying every moment and every part of your life because it's not permanent. At some point, things fall apart either by a divorce or death. I repeat nothing is permanent that is why you got to enjoy every moment of your life.
Death robbed you from us, but I strongly believe you are in a better place now that you are with God. Your physical presence will be missed, but you will forever be remembered. Till we meet again, Rest in internal peace Ivan The Don.
Allow me to thank everyone who has been here for my family during this trying time. God bless you.
He was the best father to our boys, although they spent only a few years with him, he always made time for them besides his tight schedule as if he knew that his time was very limited in this world.
The picture proves how happy he was during this day, those were one of the best moments of course we part ways but memories don't die they last forever.
It was the best day of our journey, still remember it very well like it was yesterday. Rest in Peace Ivan the Great.

When the vehicles had moved a few yards past Victoria Mall in Entebbe, police cops stopped the motorcade to allow a police advance vehicle to lead the way.
As they set off for Kampala, a Hummer pick up lost control just around the National Social Security Office in Entebbe, it swerved to the left and then to right, but since its a Hummer, it was business as usual, the driver just joined the convoy. Luck was on their side as there was no vehicle from the opposite direction and the vehicle behind had left some good space.

Pinto added that even Ivan's schools in South Africa will be managed by Zari.
Diamond Platnumz mourns Zari's ex-hubby with a burning candle
The death of South Africa based Ugandan socialite, Ivan Semwanga, has left many in East and South Africa heart broken. His ex-wife and mother to his three sons, Zari, is in love with Tanzanian singer Diamond Platnumz.
On learning of the breaking news, Platnumz dashed to his wall to post a pic of a burning candle captioned as; 'Mbele Yako, Nyuma Yetu...." meaning; "Where you are is where we are coming.."
"You are the only person to comfort your partner during this period as a lot will be said, do not let her cry alone." One wrote.
Diamond Platnumz is now a dad of five by default. Ivan Semwanga has left three sons behind, the eldest being 13, he had a touching message for his dad [Message from Ivan Semwanga's son, Raphael].
On the other hand, Zari and Platnumz are blessed with two children, Tiffah and Nillan in just the three years they've been together.
Ivan Semwanga was confirmed dead this morning by Zari. It's still not clear whether he will be buried in South Africa or Uganda, the family is yet to release an official program.
"God loves those that are special and that's exactly who you were & I guess that's why he wanted you to himself. You have touched and helped thousands, you did wonders and I remember you telling me "life is too short Zee let me live it to the fullest", this very dark hour it makes sense why you always said those words to me."
"To your sons, you were a hero-some kind of superman. Anyone who has ever been in your presence knows what a charming person you were. You will be missed and remembered in so many ways. You were IVAN THE GREAT!," Zari noted.
Ivan Semwanga, 39, was in Uganda less than two weeks back.
Bebe Cool - My deepest condolences to you and your family. May Allah see you through this moment.
RIP brother IVAN.
Chameleone - "God creates and takes what is his!!! May God have mercy on you my friend and strengthen your Family and we your friends Rest in peace Ivan."
Ed Cheune - "You spread happiness for all the years when you were here with us all. Now it is God’s turn to give you all the happiness in return as you go holding his hand.Rest in peace my dear brother Ivan Semwanga."
Zari - "This is an announcement: Kindly not Ivan Semwanga is not allowed visitors any more, he is in critical condition and his privacy as a patient is being invaded. We will appreciate if you continue praying for him. Stay blessed!."
Earlier
It's now 10 days since tycoon Ivan Semwanga was admitted at Steve Beko Academic Hospital (SBAH) in Pretoria and two days after his head operation. Zari and other close relatives are by his bedside, however, she has to occasionally leave the hospital to go and check on the children back home who are equally worried about their dad's health.
It's during that time that some visitors are taking pics and circulating on social media. Visitors have now been stopped from checking on Ivan until further notice. Zari and the children are the only one's allowed to access the ward where Ivan is being treated.
Among those stranded outside the hospital are thousands of students from his Brooklyn City College schools that are spread over 8 states in South Africa that include; Pretoria, Johannesburg, Polokwane etc. Most of them are in shock and in tears over the condition of their principal. It's not clear if Zari was still the CEO of the colleges after she dumped Ivan to move in with TZ singer, Diamond Platnumz.
In a screen shot from Zari to social media enthusiast, Henry, the mom of five asks that he should not post the pics that are being sent to him, but he also demands to know who is taking the pics and yet she's by his side, Zari noted that it was being done at the time she was taking breaks.
A pic of tycoon Ivan Semwanga in hospital after the operation has found it's way on the internet. In the pic, Ivan is seen with half his hair cut off and a deep wound on the head which was closed with a running interlocking stitch from one side of the ear to the other.
"Seen Ivan Semwanga's hospital pic and my eyes started to drip. Whoever took that pic and shared it to heartless bloggers, you are such an idiot for psychologically torturing the viewers. Dear Ivan be strong, hung on, we are praying every second and minute to God for your quick recovery. May God heal you," South Africa based, Stella Nankya, of the StarQT label noted.
"Your absence is disturbing me my brother and a friend. I can't wait to see you feeling well, I know many are praying for your quick recovery and longing for the day you will come home, may God 's peace and comfort surround you and his unfailing care help you recuperate.Get well soon @Ivandon," Best friend, ED Cheune with whom they were hanging with at the last Blankets and Wine tweeted yesterday.

Zari's son, Nillan, ill as Ex-Hubby undergoes operation
The look on Zari's face says it all, it's tight for her. Just as she was taking good care of her ex-hubby, Ivan Semwanga, who developed major heart problems, she received the bad news that her soldier and last born with Diamond Platnumz, Nillan, is also in a critical condition. He is admitted.
"My soldier is down looks like more hospital days for me." Zari noted on SnapChat.

It's not yet clear what Nillan is suffering from, but it's bad enough that he is down at the time when Zari was right by Ivan's bedside after undergoing an operation. The sources add that the Rich Gang CEO is responding well.
As if that is not bad enough, the mom of five still has to keep tabs on Ivan's three soldiers who are hoping that their dad recovers pretty fast.
On the other hand, Diamond Platnumz is keeping busy by juggling with Princess Tiffah and hitting the studio in search of his next hit.
Zari puts her life on hold to take care of ex-hubby, Ivan Semwanga
Zari and Ivan have three children together,
Zari introduced Ivan to her parents in Dec 2011,
In 2014, Zari moved on and so far, she has two children with current lover, Diamond Platnumz.
At this rate, Diamond Platnumz will have to wait a little longer as Zari takes good care of her ex-hubby who is battling with a heart related condition in South Africa.
Zari is seen looking on helplessly hoping her baby daddy, Ivan Semwanga, recovers pretty fast. It's said the Rich Gang president is in coma. Zari's post on IG simply confirms all is not well and more prayers needed.
Ivan was a few days back hit by a heart attack, he was rushed to Steve Biko Academic Hospital.
Zari's fans have since been praising her for the good deed of not abandoning her baby daddy at this time when he needs her most.
"Stay by his bed side and talk to him even if he is not talking back he could be still hearing and that will make a big difference. Get well soon Ivan."
"He is the father of her boys and he needs her now more than he ever did. She has to be there for the boys not to get so worried about their dad's condition. Am sure they get stronger seeing their mom by their dad's side at this moment. Am sure Diamond knows best who his woman is and he understands what Zari is doing and going through.."
It's a lambo affair...
Meanwhile, Zari's presence at Ivan's bedside is not going well with some family members who think she could be on standby just in case.
No doubt, Diamond Platnumz is such a busy artist, but on a good day, he gets time to bond with the family. During this time, Zari will also not let gadgets rob her of this moment, short of that, the mom of five will be busy checking on her various social accounts to see what is trending with the Chibu Dangote's.
Prince Nillan enjoying the love from mom and dad.
Our very own Zari and Platnumz have two kids together, Princess Tiffah and Prince Nillan.
"My lil princess @princess_tiffah has grown so much, can't believe it was just yesterday when I had her. God bless her life years ahead."
This is a special moment considering that Zari when not in Tanzania, she is in South Africa attending to ex-hubby, Ivan Semwanga's three sons and of course, not leaving behind Platnumz' children.
The kids cross to the photographer as the power couple resorts to serious talks including the possibility of having another baby and who said Zari does not listen?
Zari's ex, Ivan Ssemwanga just won't give up, he now claims Platnumz' second child with Zari is his going by his latest post..."Guess whose son...few of you can get it right.."
Ivan has never gotten to terms with the fact that Zari moved on and that she has two children with current lover on top of the three she had with him.
The Rich Gang President with all that 'money' that he prefers to drop in a hotel sink has not come out to let his followers know who the Zari replacement babe is, most of the babes that have tried to put on Zari's shoes have fallen short that's why we continue to register gaps in that area.
Zari has shared tips on how to look your best even after giving birth to five kids..Zari's body would give a run to many mom's of one, here are the tips that she uses;
"No diets needed, am a typical African woman who loves her food, just learn how to eat right, exercise and drink lots of water for your skin...."
"You can achieve it if you put your mind onto it then implement it. "
One of her followers working very hard to reduce her tummy had this to ask!
"Eiiish l also love my food so much but for water honestly l have set an alternating alarm after every 30 minutes to remind me a glass of water is needed. Please if you don't mind would you share how your meal routine is for the day, how many litres of water for those like me who can't afford the gym but I work out in the house for the tummy."
Zari knows she has a hot bod and does not need to be reminded.."They will need respirators trying to keep up with me. I have no brakes so I ain't stopping soon."
With two babies already down with current lover, three with her previous one, Zari is hinting on an introduction ceremony that will be way bigger than the Mbuga's..Those on Bukedde TV yesterday must have seen a recap of SK. Mbuga and Jalia Mbuga's intro and wedding ceremonies. Zari now says her's will be five times fold.
It should be recalled that in December 2011, Zari introduced Ivan to her parents home in Munyonyo, Halima Namakula, was the Ssenga of the project but these things of love are funny, just yesterday, Halima was busy praising Ivan and Zari on how they are madly, deeply in love with each other.
As Zari and Platnumz were busy with the face unveiling of their child, her ex hubby, Ivan Semwanga, and his crew were busy popping bottles.
Zari and Diamond Platnumz have eventually unveiled Prince Nillan's face to the public, he's so cute and looks like the dad. "@PrinceNillan unveiling courtesy of GSM Group of Companies," the mom tweeted.
Nillan was dressed in a checkered black and white short with a matching leather belt, all from GSM baby shop located at the Msasani city mall in TZ.
Hours before the baby was born, Zari and Platnumz were booked for a photo shoot of South Africa's top selling pregnancy and baby guide magazine for their February love issue, Zari was telling her friends and fans in Mzanzi, South Africa to grab a copy and read more about the power couple.
"Would like to thank GSM Group of Companies for making my day," Prince Nillan noted on his wall that is being run by his mom, it has 121,255 followers at the moment...Talk of celebrity babies !!!
Celebrations to mark the 40 days of Prince Nillan are in high gear. Nillan is Zari's fifth child and Diamond's second. In their religion, they do not show the baby's face until it makes at least 40 days. Zari has been issuing out invites for the event so if you do not have your's by now, chances are you are not on the guest list.
On Dec 6, Zari and Platnumz were blessed with a baby boy and since then, his face has been concealed. This was the case with Princess Latiffah [Zari's first child with Platnumz] but after 40 days, her face was unveiled to the public.
However, this has taken a little longer than 40 days as Diamond was busy with the shooting of the Marry You video that he did with American singer and song writer, Ne-Yo.
Friends and family from Uganda were seen taking lots of selfies as they embarked on a 1,680km road trip from Kampala to Magufuli land using Zari's black Chrysler which she normally uses while on vac in #UG. They took turns on the wheels and in less than 20 hours, they were there.
The mom of five is back to her high heels three days after giving birth to Diamond Platnumz second child. Zari Hassan shocked her followers when she pulled out of her South Africa crib to hit the streets in her high heels.
Putting the heels aside, her body after baby number 5 has set tongues wagging. Zari who will soon cloak 40 took to instagram to share her postpartum look in jeans and a white top, it's a flat tummy and many of her fans were asking what she does to have such looks after so many babies..
"I have one child but my tummy has failed to go back, I wonder how Zari manages to attain that look," one wrote
This morning, Zari and singer Diamond Platnumz, were blessed with a baby boy at 4:35am. The baby who is Zari's fifth and Platnumz' second was born at Netcare Hospital in Pretoria, South Africa.
Trust Zari, she was able to reach out for her smart phone to let her followers know that all was well. "Thanking everyone for your prayers, we are all doing fabulously ok."
Like it was for her first daughter last year, the power couple will not show the face of the baby up to the time it makes a month plus. They were able to share the boy's beautiful pink feet and hand with the fans.
The baby daddy, Diamond Platnumz, is still tasking fans to help him choose a name for the new born, he has provided a shortlist of seven names from which the fans select. "Help me to pick one for my baby boy please;" Platnumz requested.
Singer Diamond Platnumz and his mom are in South Africa to prepare for the arrival of Zari's fifth baby. Zari was booked in a South African hospital on Monday afternoon and the count down for the arrival of Prince Riaz is on.
Zari was in a wheelchair as Platnumz took the last shots following her inside their hospital room. Platnumz' mom was right by her side. Platnumz is so excited, he's been asking his fans which name he should give to their baby boy who is about to be welcomed to this world.
Zari looked smart in her pink Kitengi. "Earlier this morning(Dec 5) while getting all glammed up for my baby bump photoshoot. My son could arrive any day from now.."
This will be Platnumz' second child with Zari. Two week's back, close family members held a baby shower for Zari who was so grateful to all her fans and followers thanking them for the support and prayers.
The theme colour was white. Zari will this year not hold her annual white party for obvious reasons.
It's been hard for Leila but this friend of her's got her smiling.A very close friend to Leila Kayondo has come out revealing what those who date rich men go through, she adds that it's even worse for the one's dating white men. Her post brought a smile on Leila Kayondo's face that she even liked it.
It turns out Fifie is dating an old man and her post follows the many negative remarks singer Leila Kayondo has received in the past few days after her ex lover, SK Mbuga, married another woman.
"This is a true story, every bi.t.ch married to any man with some coins goes through it only that, some pretend to be happy while others prefer reserving it to themselves, it's so shameful. All you people talking about Leila Kayondo, ought to know this."
"There's nothing as hard as dating an elderly man when you are young. These guys did all their rubbish now they just want to rest their old age on young girls."
She goes on with her post; "Many times I have admired single mothers and independent ladies, they seem much happier. I also admire those living in ramshackled structures but are happy and laughing. None of these girls dating rich men is happy, even when their hubbies are out of the country, they will be bombarded with messages on Whatsapp just because they left you with some money."
"The happiest couples are those in the same age bracket but the problem with these also is one, poverty."
Fifie is dating a Mzungu, she has one child with him. It's at this point that she goes on to reveal what they go through as the interracial dating community by attacking those on Leila's case, you could be worse.
"You go on sleeping with your husband's friends, get pregnant and in the end, you tell your men those are their children, now this is not possible with us because of colour."
The birthday gal and her baby daddy together with their daughter continue to enjoy the short vacation in Zanzibar where they went to celebrate the day.
Kenyan socialite, Vera SIDIKA, another September baby was among those that congratulated Zari on turning 36. Vera will be turning 27 on September 30 and right now, she is in Italy where she will celebrate her special day.
"Happy birthday to this beautiful doll,...wishing you health, love, wealth, happiness and just everything your heart desires. Keep shinning," Vera wrote. Zari's reply was; "Yeeeaaasss my doll.." but a fan was quick to note that a 'Thank You' would do as opposed to Yes..
Vera and Huddah Monroe have taken over the Kenyan social scene while in Uganda, socialite Zari is a force to reckon.
Happy couple - Birthday Kiss in Zanzibar...What more can one ask for...Zari is pregnant with Platnumz' second child, the project just got better after Zari was given a house in South Africa as a birthday present.
Today is Zari's birthday, she turns 36. Her baby daddy Diamond Platnumz has surprised her with a house in South Africa where she stays when not with him. While unleashing the house, he also had a few words for Zari's ex, Ivan Semwanga.
"They are busy bragging them selves that they are Rich while their kids are staying in a rented house... and now a person who they are daily abusing and saying he's broke and poor bought a house, so that their kids can have a better life, as they always wish on Social Media..... "
"Happy Birthday Mama tee I hope you like our new South African House....Can't wait for your Big weekend in Zanzibar tomorrow....I love you So much mama tee, we ndio Salome wa Moyo wangu pekee.."
The birthday girl and mom of four could not hide her excitement, she wrote this; "Thank you for always taking care of me..." The couple is now on their way to Zanzibar where they will spend the weekend together with their little daughter..
Meanwhile, the post that Platnumz made has not gone down well with the affected parties. Ivan has grilled Zari over this and the kids are actually very bitter, however, Zari has tried to explain on how he told him[Platnumz] to delete the post but in vain.
"Ivan, I don't think you believe I could tell him to post such nonsense knowing the kids will see it. I actually told him to delete it, he said that you(Ivan) and King abused him. He even wondered why I was telling him to delete when I never stopped you guys from posting trash about him."
"I'm sorry to you, the boys and everyone, I never had anything to do with that post, I'm very sorry you know me Ivan, I can't side with that at all, I'm so sorry Ivan," she concluded.
Diamond Platnumz and his bae are preparing for their second baby who happens to be Zari's fifth, she still looks hot as ever.
Zari wants more kids with Platnumz...Unconfirmed family sources add that she is expecting a baby girl.
Meanwhile, as Zari prepares for baby number 5, side dishes are not making it any easier, they seem to be poking the Utanipenda singer from all corners. This was confirmed by Zari in one of her posts;
"Watu na Bae zetu... nyaku nyakus can't even post their own. Told you, if he can't claim you in public, don't give him the good good in private. U know what that means right & I bet u know where that leaves you..."
Zari using her Snapchat told off all those who were comparing her to Wema to stop it because the two were incomparable. She went on to assert her beauty through these lines; "And the rest stop comparing me with hoes that have never been to labor. At 35 with 4 kids, I'm wayyyyy too hot for your comparisons...I beggoo. Some of you will look like smashed water melons after 1 kid into labor, stop it already."
Some social media enthusiasts were quick to link this to Anita Fabiola now that she was seen hobnobbing with Diamond Platnumz in Los Angeles during the BET Awards. However, the beautiful mom of four was quick to clear the space;
"Lol this had nothing to do with Anita Fabiola, she is my friend, don't create unnecessary beef please..."
In the comments though, some were like they would rather be with Zari who has four kids than Anita Fabiola, others went on to add that they are patiently waiting for Anita's looks when she drops 4 babies.
In the selfie pic with Platnumz, some went on to say that Anita's fingers seem to indicate that she bleaches as some parts don't match.
Short of that, most comments from women seemed to suggest that no woman should call the other a 'hoe'...
"So many reasons to be happy God is good all the time..." Zari captioned a pic with her baby daddy, Diamond Platnumz. It should be recalled that a few days back, a pic of Zari and her ex-hubby Ivan Semwanga in the jacuzzi found it's way online putting a lot of pressure on those who didn't want the power couple to break-up..
However, with those words up there, the mom of four is not about to move back and forth at least for now. Zari is currently in South Africa bonding with her three soldiers there before returning to South Africa to shower the Untanipenda singer with nothing but love.
In the pic above, Platnumz is seen resting on Zari's behind as his pillow.
Big Brothers Quincy and Caysan are seen taking real good care of their siblings..."The Duchess of Tanzania'' is getting a treat from big brother but the ride is a bit dangerous as Quincy is using an electronic balancing scooter. You can't miss seeing her freak out every time big bro makes a sharp turn on the hoverboard
On the other hand, Caysan is playing it cool and safe with Baby Deen Ozil who is equally enjoying his ride from this small car that does not require a seatbelt...it's no wonder he is holding onto to it firmly.
Caysan is Zuena and Bebe Cool's second last born while Quincy is Zari and Ivan Semwanga's second last born, the two are seen taking care of the little one's as their parents do other things or better still do the recording of these shots to share with their fans.
Ivan Ssemwanga's brother, King Lawrence, is back from wherever he was but one thing on his mind is to comb all happening places including this hot tub spot that Zari loves spending most of her valuable time.
King Lawrence and Ivan are seen hanging out in the jacuzzi as they sip on their moet champagne drink while Zari looks all relaxed as the hot bubbles massage her bod.
King Lawrence appeared on the social scene on Tuesday last week and since then, he's been having a celebration of sorts on a daily just to compensate for what he lost while he was away. The authorities had held him to help with investigations related to government tenders, but he's back to start from where he stopped..
Among the people who welcomed him back was Jose Chameleone though King Lawrence was more interested in when he can come over to South Africa, in October, Chameleone responded.
Meanwhile, the jacuzzi Zari-Ivan meet has left some circles in the Diamond Platnumz camp worried. Zari is currently in South Africa and a week back, the ex-lovers were spotted in the same hot tub...could this be the place where they meet to talk about their three children? may be not, but that leaves a lot to be desired.
Zari has three sons with her now ex-hubby Ivan Semwanga and a daughter with current lover, Diamond Platnumz who was recently on a visit in South Africa.
Socialite Zari real name Zarinah Hassan has revealed where she gets her lovely ears and skin complexion from.
"And that's where I get my ears and skin colour from. My Indian grandpa, Mzee Sultan." May God rest your soul in peace," she concluded. This was followed by several RIP messages, mostly from her new TZ in-laws.
Zari has so many breeds as her family tree reveals. On the maternal side, her granny was Indian and when it comes to the paternal side, her grandfather is Somalian and grand ma Burundian and out of all that the now East Africa's socialite is born.
In 2008, Zari won the Channel O award for Best East African Artiste. She is a mom of four, Pinto, Didy, Quincy and her very last born, Tiffah Dangote, she fathered with Tanzanian singer Diamond Platnumz after dumping her hubby, Ivan Semwanga.
Yesterday was the AFCON qualifier game between Uganda Cranes and Burkina Faso, it ended up in goal less draw which is similar to Farouk and Underwood's jersey numbers.
Clad in a pair of white shorts that were subjected to a thorough security body check by female cops at the Namboole gates, Julie Underwood is seen striking a pose with her muscle man, Farouk Sempala who is still getting to terms with losing Zari to Diamond Platnumz. Underwood's skin complexion sums it all.
Yesterday's game was a night football match, the kick off was at 7:00 PM and may be the reason Uganda did not win, not so sure, but at least, they did not lose either.
It's no longer a rumor, that these two are so romantically involved that they had to exchange their jerseys as the game progressed.
Most lovers came out of Nambole holding hands pretty excited that the Ugandan team had not lost, though, security could have had a tough time dealing with the supporters had it turned out to be a win for Uganda. Below is Farouk and Zari in their hey days before the Platnumz era.
Zari's lover boy, Diamond Platnumz is on a European Tour where they've been for close to a week now. Yesterday, the Tanzanian singer was performing in Oslo, Norway and tonight, he will be doing his thing in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden.
Meanwhile, in South Africa, Zari's ex-hubby, Ivan Semwanga, is taking very good care of their three sons. The boys are all on social networks and so they follow their mom on a minute to minute basis, so to divert their attention, their dad decided to give them a treat by flying them to Capetown where they will spend the Easter eve. Ivan also hired a Rolls Royce, the car he was prepared to buy for Zari had she returned to his life four years back.
In the ride, the boys and Ivan are seen singing to Drake's Hotline Bling doing this particular line; "You used to call me on my cell phone late night when you need my love..."
However, their mom replied promptly. "I see Capetown is favoring you, we should do Dubai soon."
In August last year, Zari and Diamond Platnumz welcomed baby Tiffah to this world but fans and critics were like you could be taking care of another man's child. A Tanzanian businessman, Zari's ex-lovers (Ivan Ssemwanga and Farouk Ssempala) were among the men accused of being Latiffah Dangote's real father.
Ivan's half brother, Lawrence Kiyingi, aka King Lawrence came up claiming to be the father too, he went on to demand for a DNA paternity test through his lawyers. Well, the latest news coming in from Diamond Platnumz' camp is that the Tanzanian singer is the biological father of Zari's fourth child.
The test was done the last time Platnumz was in South Africa. However, on receiving the good news the TZ singer broke down in tears..
Asked on why he broke down, this was his response; "What did you expect me to do after getting results that I dearly needed, especially at a time when sections of the society constantly claimed that I wasn’t my daughter’s biological father?"
"I am not worried at all. I can now courageously face my critics," Platnumz added.
While in South Africa, Platnumz also took off time to shoot his latest Bado video which has a vixen as light as Zari. In one of the scenes, the singer is seen comparing the vixen's legs to Zari's...
"What a great way to end the 1st week of the month of March. Just learnt that I was awarded as the showbiz personality of the year at this year's Zzina Awards (entertainment awards organised by Galaxy FM in Uganda). Always an honor being recognized back home. Totally grateful to the entire team at Galaxy FM, and to my fans who make all this worthwhile," Zari noted on her wall.
The Baala singer Daxx Kartel took the day home with three awards. It's funny that when it comes to the Hipipo awards, Bebe Cool will come close to taking all the awards only to end up with noting when it comes to the Zzina awards. Could it be the fight he had with one awards organizers?, may be not, but it leaves a lot to be desired.

I love the dress, wow nice dress, that dress, nice outfit...and so on were some of the comments on Zari's wall when she shared this shot that was taken outside their State House in TZ.
On Valentine's day, Zari put on the same dress with two red stripes at the bottom, her fans liked it so she decided to add the one with animal print stripes to her wardrobe.
"I love both dresses.." another wrote.
Talking of Zari's dresses, yesterday she went shopping with her baby daddy, Platnumuz and baby Tiffah, she was clad in the very dress she was putting on three years back while still dating Ivan, the father of her three children.
Ex Big Brother Star, Idris Sultan and Diamond Platnumz ex, Wema Sepetu, had been dating for a few months, she became pregnant. In fact, many came to learn that these two were an item through the pregnancy. The actress and Tanzanian ex-beauty queen was 3 months pregnant but the sad news coming in is that she has a miscarriage.
Wema was so excited about this pregnancy as it had somehow silenced the rival camps that were widely spreading trumors on social media that she can't give birth and it's the reason they split with Diamond Platnumz who she dated for oven ten years but were childless.
Matters were made worse when Zari conceived just days after meeting the Bongo flavour star, so Idris coming to Wema's life and getting her preggie was probably the best way to forget the man who had disappointed her.
Idris has revealed the sad news in a touching message off his wall;
"To my unborn twins,There's so much I want to say. All these thoughts running through my head,Though you lived only 13 short weeks,You were loved so very much. I wish that I could hold you,I long to feel your touch. I pray that in another life, We get the chance to meet."
"God brings and takes as he plans and we cannot complain but only pray that all that was for a better reason and a better plan in store for us. We have learnt lessons painfully but wont stop trying again and again and do swear by the time your brothers and sisters are made to come to this world we will be more than ready for them, Sincerely Your Dad."
Then came one who told Idris that; "There was no way a 13 weeks pregnancy could be visible..."
"There's no day I will stand and watch anyone speak sh!t about my woman on my face and expect me to take it irrespective of whether what you say is true or not," Idris responded.
Yesterday was Valentine's day and one thing on lover's minds was to spend the day together. We bring you some of the A-listers and how they enjoyed their day..
Peter Miles and his significant other spent the day at Lake Heights Hotel in Entebbe and oh my! it was lovely...the bathtub was sprinkled with red flowers and it later went down on white and maroon bed sets.."Mi and Mi Empress wish you a lovely valentines....more love," the Nyinimu singer wrote on his wall. How sweet is that?
Socialite Zari spent her day in Kenya with baby Tiffah and dad, Diamond Platnumz. They were all clad in black with a bit of red..Platnumz had a red cap while Zari's black dress had some red horizontal lines at the bottom with a bit of see through at the top revealing her black bra.
This year's Valentine's day fell on a Sunday but Barbie Itungo Kyagulanyi was very busy working after getting so worked up with the surprise birthday party celebrations that ended up at Lake Victoria Serena Hotel. "I'm I that special to deserve such a birthday treat?" Bobi asked only to retaliate with a bouquet of red flowers and two bottles of wine to her work place.
"Nothing more relieving like receiving fresh flowers and bottles of wine from hubby on a very busy day at work this valentine. Thanks for the thought my love. Happy valentine's Bobi Wine, Don't y'all love his handwriting? BplusBforever.." Barbie wrote.
When it came to Leila Kayondo's on-off lover, SK Mbuga, there was no better way of celebrating this year's valentines day other than adding a range-rover evoque model 2012 to his fleet that includes a jeep, several Hummers and a series of benz models among others.
It's the Valentine's week and many lovers are doing their best to make sure all is well between now and Sunday when the city will be painted with red and black.
Now one such person trying to keep up the appearances is none other than Obsession's Ronnie Mulindwa who this morning shared Sharon's pic captioned as; "Baby Mulabilila bulungi..." meaning; "I take good care of my babe."
Lines like these are very important in the days leading up to Valentine's day and that is exactly what Ronnie is doing to ensure that there are no excuses or issues that can lead to a bad February 14.
Their relationship has been an on-off relationship but Ronnie is in love and will do literally everything to make things work out. A section of their fans continue to wonder why the two have not walked down the aisle after several years of dating.
Ronnie spent a few hours responding to some questions: "I thought you had separated?" No we've never he replied. "Is she pregnant?" "No, but very soon," he promptly responded. However, one who asked when the wedding is taking place did not get a response.
Zari's ex, Ivan Semwanga, tried playing his cards with Sharon O but has since paid a very huge price, Zari dumped him and dated several guys before settling with Tanzanian singer, Diamond Platnumz.
Diamond Platnumz baby mama, Zari Hassan, was forced to rush back to TZ after hosting the launch of Club Marabou and Lounge in Nairobi.
"Thank you so much Nairobi for the love too bad had to leave early as baby Tee is still breastfeeding," she noted. Zari travelled with her mother and mother-in-law to ensure that baby Tiffah got the best care while mom was on duty.
Eric Omondi and girlfriend were among those that received Zari at the airport.
The Wema camp was still keeping tabs on her and on watching the short clip confirming her presence at the launch, she referred to Saturday as 'Saraday' leaving them very excited.
Socialite Zari Hassan takes her All White Party to Kenya as baby daddy signs lucrative deal with Vodacom Tanzania...
The mom of four is more than determined to take over East Africa and nothing seems to stop her. Just days after getting to the wrong side of the law with the Magufuli government, Zari has resorted to Kenya just in case things don't work out with Tanzania. This Saturday, all roads will lead to Club Marabou located right at the Highway Mall opposite Nyayo stadium.
Zari will be hosting the launch of the Zari All White Party, P-Unit will be one of the performers. In Tanzania, the Zari White Party was banned after they went on to advertise the party before clearing with the authorities there, the Ugandan socialite was fined, it's not yet clear if she has sorted that bit, but trust her, her eyes are now on Kenya.
Just yesterday, she was in a business meeting with Vodacom Tanzania as her baby Daddy, Diamond Platnumz, signed a mega deal worth millions of shillings.
Zari helped Platnumz to look through the small prints of the contract only to tell him; ' Ni Sawa' meaning it was all fine. "Am so grateful to have a team, family, mother and woman who is wise and intelligent," Platnumz wrote while appreciating Zari's presence.
Singer Diamond Platnumz' ex is pregnant, eventually, and the man responsible is none other than Big Brother Africa winner, Idris Sultan from Tanzania.
The former Miss Tanzania can't hide her excitement. Yesterday, the two were at Clouds FM for an interview but they kept on feeding on each other like birds feeding their young one's throughout the session.
This is good news for Wema considering that last January, she was wishing her ex well with his new found love with our very own Zari Hassan, but this January, Wema Sepetu is heavily pregnant. Wema and Diamond dated for some good years but the couple had no child but within weeks of Diamond hooking up with Zari, she was pregnant.
This led to a lot of talk from both camps with many saying that may be the 28-year-old actress was barren, but with her display of the baby bump and Idris coming out to say that he's the man behind the bump, we can only wait to see just how things go on from here.
However, just like Zari, Wema's pregnancy has also come with it's drama. Some sources say a loaded Tanzanian politician is responsible and not Idris. The same was said for Zari that a one Katunzi is Tiffah's dad.
Meanwhile, Idris is more than excited and not about to take in what he's terming as loose talk:
"Me and you are not the ordinary. I sleep, eat, talk and wake up to only thinking about you. I might bring you the most beautiful rose flower in the world and it will never look even half as beautiful as you are."
"I will protect you, love you, spoil you, fight with you, cook with you, watch movies together, drive at night for no reason, sit with you and just stare at the stars. You're more than I ever asked for, you're my everything MY WIFE," he concluded.
Ivan Semwanga's half brother, King Lawrence, has also been arrested allegedly for theft and fraud in South Africa, he will be arraigned in court on Friday morning.
This is coming days after Katsha had just secured his freedom, though sources privy to the matter say it's far from over, otherwise, he could be here to at least check on his one-week-old baby having spent the festive season under police custody.
King Lawrence had long left Uganda at the time when Ivan was battling with a case of theft for an iPhone6 to go and sort himself out with the authorities down in South and on the advise of his lawyer, King Lawrence turned himself in at a Sandton based police station only to find that he had more cases filed for him.
Sources add that it's a long list though most of them are not as popular as the Rich Gang Crew. Among those arrested, it's said that a relative of ex-beauty queen, Barbara Kimbugwe is one of them, does this explain why she was in South Africa early in the week, may be not.
King Lawrence now has a new Instagram account after the old one was 'hacked', it's that account that had posts of King Lawrence claiming he had slept with socialites Huddah Monroe and Zari, not forgetting the Tiffah-paternity DNA test drama, they were all on that account.
The crime intelligence unit has been tracking the activities of the suspects for months after they discovered that these guys had access to a government-registered supplier database.
"It is alleged that they created a false government agency with fraudulent documents and posed as suppliers. They would then send victims quotes and request they pay upfront but the goods were never delivered," a source that first arrested the first syndicate last September noted.
King Lawrence's last posts on Instagram were made four days back, sadly, they were about Zari and Platnumz baby.
Socialite Zari and family have for the past days been enjoying Jinja and the neighbouring attractions, they went camping in Bujagali and also took a boat ride, Princess Tiffah was on board too though she didn't have a fitting life jacket.
The visit to the village though is what caught our attention. Platnumz' baby mama had to forget her high end life style at their 'state house' in Dar and was down to cooking like a typical African woman.
Zari was seen inhaling smoke as she tried to make the firewood light better and this was not camp-fire cooking, she was down at their ancestral home cooking with wood, in the land of milk, honey and dust.
Her soldiers were having a feast day chasing around roosters, hens and goats that they rarely see, it was a moment they loved.
Zari had to put up with so many questions about the many graves at the graveyard.
"The village experience.... I love cooking it doesn't matter where iam or what the place looks like I just love cooking.." Zari captioned the pics.
Zari's children were so excited chasing the goats and hens around.
MC Kats has been the talk of the town for the last 72 hours following his rant on social media. In his post, MC Kats was complaining about the Rich Gang members who made him sit at Serena hotel for several hours as he waited for their wedding contribution but the pledge was not fulfilled.
His wedding with the Double Trouble singer, Fille Muthoni CLEAR, is around the corner and he had hoped to knock down quite a number of items off the wedding budget but with the Rich Gang crew letting him down, he was left with no choice but to let it out on social media.
He was so p!ssed off to the point that even the simplest of words like 'met' as he tried to communicate that he met them four years back ended up as "ment" clearly distorting the message, but it got to where it was being sent anyway.
Zari's ex-hubby is equally not a happy man after losing over Shs30 million for just pouring a drink on a one Sadat Serusiba, may be this is the very reason Kats is so disturbed, probably, this could have been the money Ivan was to pay to fulfill his pledge.
The NTV Expozed presenter is so much under pressure, he wants to throw the best wedding ever and this contribution from the Rich Gang crew could have just made him realize part of that dream but for now, it seems unlikely as he states in his post;
"They are not famous for money, we made you believe they have money and if they do, please show me one investment in Uganda...During the Ripped Jeans Party, they said they were to give me 20million, if at all they do, I promise I will give 10m to charity."
Ivan had always been the laid back type of person always supporting the Uganda Cranes and promising them hefty sums for every goal scored but when basketball star, Isaac Lugudde aka LK4 started moving out with the mother of his children, Ivan came out of his shell.
Matters became worse, LK4 was dumped and straight on Farouk Sempala got into the 'riders' seat it was also not so long before he was sent to where he belonged. Currently, Diamond Platnumz is the one dating Zari though not so sure of his future thus his latest song, Utanipenda.
Singers Iryn Namubiru and Navio paid the Zari's a visit at their Munyonyo based home, Diamond Platnumz was there too and among others, collaboration projects were discussed.
"Awww aunt Irene with Shikki," Zari captioned the Iryn-Queen Latty pic, then the boys preferred a photo moment with rapper Navio due to their love for rap music.
It was not long before 'secret admirers' were on board warning Zari about Iryn Namubiru being that close to her, she could end up losing the Tanzanian singer if she wasn't careful.
"Why is she coming out now during the time when Diamond Platnumz is around, where was she before," one asked.
"It's so out dated calling people w.hores, s.luts and prostitutes, the moment you open your legs, you could be one too. Let's find something new," Zari wrote in response.
Iryn made a post to justify that they've been friends way before;
"When you baby sat my boy he was about the same age in 2008. We have come a long way. Only parents can know what it is to spend time with children. All the fun, all the silly talk and being a clown. Our best moments are not on Internet and we can not describe the joy and fun to every one apart from those who matter."
The 'hater' went on to say.."That's how Iryn came to Fusion band in the guise of singing but ended up with the boss, the same happened to Juliana when Iryn ''snatched'' Morel from her but if it wasn't meant to be, it can't be, why is she even still using the Morel name!"
Queen Latty seems to have mastered the finger pose. In the above pic is Zari's three boys, Diamond Platnumz with baby Tee and of course the boss lady . In the background is an awesome wall photo of Zari's beautiful mom.
Zari has always had the best of hair extensions but during her annual White Party that was held at Guvnor on Dec 18, the mom of four was a shadow of her former self going by the wig she wore last night. "Everything looked good on you, but not the hair," one noted
"Well.... I think the hair is different from what you're all used to that's why it isn't clicking to you, but it was all fabulous. I love the look, something different you know," Zari tried to explain.
"Fire your hair dresser, you looked stunning in that dress but the hair made you look so old," another added.
Kenyan socialite, Vera Sidika, who was has kept around from the time of the Abryanz awards stole Zari's thunder on her day and on looking closely, her choice of hair extension played the trick not forgetting the other inflated accessories (b.oobs n curves) and of course, her newly acquired skin complexion.
Some said Zari was on point but the vast majority seemed to agree that her hair fell short.. Interestingly, she was wearing long hair extensions earlier on in the day which is what many are used to, but on trying out something different, the fans were like, nope!!!
It was a hectic day for her, on arrival a day before the function, she was meeting various organisers, holding interviews at different TV stations and last minute shopping only to have three hours sleep as noted on her wall.
"Slept at 3am was up by 6am. It's not glamorous as it looks on red carpet. A lot goes on behind the scenes.."
Short of that, her ex-hubby, Ivan Semwanga and his half brother, King Lawrence attended, gave out some shillings too, more of that in our next article.
Rich Gang president, Ivan Semwanga who happens to be Zari's ex-hubby is one of the guests at this year's Zari All White Party. Ivan was joined by other crew members who include ED Cheune and King Lawrence.
It should be recalled that King Lawrence is on record for having quite a number of fights with Zari, the most recent being the DNA test in which he claimed he was the father of Zari's baby. More of that here: King Lawrence wants DNA testing for paternity.
It was against this background that TZ fans warned Diamond Platnumz who jetted into the country a few hours back to be extra careful while at the party.
However, on Thursday while appearing on NTV the Beat, Zari told whoever cared to know that Ivan Semwanga is the father of her children and having been together for 10 years, he will always have a spot in her heart, "I'm sure that I also have a spot in his," She noted.
"However, he is free to do whatever he wants with his life but for a fact, we broke up and I don't want to interfere with his life," she added.
These words must have touched Ivan leaving him with no choice but to grace the mother of all parties, though, this year's All White party has been a low key party compared to last year, or better still, the Tanzanian version.
Revellers should expect a lot of money being thrown to the crowd as various camps try to out do each other on who is who. Meanwhile, police is investigating the Rich Gang Crew on suspicion of displaying fake dollars, they are not taking the matter lightly much as there is no law that stops one from having money.
The move by Ivan attending Zari's party has seen Diamond Platnumz' fans in Tanzania urging him to do the same with Wema Sepetu. "Separating does not mean you can't get along with your ex borrow a leaf from Ivan" they added.
Platnumz has his latest Zari love song dubbed Utanipenda, but he includes a scene of 'Wema Sepetu' spraying dirty water on him as he walked on Tanzanian streets.
Tanzanian singer, Diamond Platnumz, is already in the country for the Born to Win concert that will take place tonight at the Lugogo Cricket Oval. The Utanipenda singer just touched down at Entebbe airport a few minutes back. "Am in town already KAMPALA, make sure we all meet at Lugogo Cricket Oval on Friday."
Earlier on, Platnumz was drumming up support for Zari's All White Party.
"UGANDA!!! make sure we all meet at LUGOGO CRICKET OVAL tomorrow.... but also don't forget to go Support Mama tee @zarithebosslady on her Zari All White Party Tonight!!!!"
Meanwhile, the White Party is on right now and the entire Kampala is all dressed in white, even Straka has put on a white hair wig to move along with the flow.
Diamond Platnumz was received by Aly Alibhai and other models all clad in blue, he will be joining his baby mama at Guvnor very shortly. Nigeria's Pato Ranking who had earlier missed his flight is yet to jet in.
The Zari All White Party is on tonight and the boss lady herself, Zari Dangote, is in town. The mom of four spent a greater part of her day one on meetings, interviews and shopping with her sister who happened to be celebrating her birthday, though the one thing that caught our eye was the dress she was putting on, it was 'similar' to the one Zari wore months back, in fact, it is the very dress that revealed Tiffah's bump.
It's not clear if this is what Zari does to clothes she does not wear anymore, but whatever the case, we do not expect a Bizzu-Luzinda scenario now that these two are sisters.
Back to the mother of all parties going down tonight at Guvnor. It should be recalled that last year's event was sold out to the extent of locking some revellers out as they could not be accommodated anymore. We will be watching that space to see if history can repeat itself.
Meanwhile, as Zari's brother drove her from the airport in what looked like a Toyota Alphard, Diamond Platnumz latest song, Utanipenda, was playing in the background as she sung along. "When your man's jam plays and you are in traffic," She wrote.
As her ex-hubby Ivan.S is busy taking pics of wads of cash with his fellow Rich Gang members, Zari is patiently waiting for her baby Daddy, Platnumz, to paint the city with their love not wads of cash. Platnumz and Pato Ranking will be performing at the Born 2 Win concert at Lugogo Cricket Oval. Entry fee for the Zari All White Party is 50k while 70k at the Born to Win.
The Arab Money by socialites Sue Ochola and Judith Heard will be held on Friday at Sheraton, entry fee is 150k and then on Sunday, Lido Beach is the the place to be for all those with purple outfits, over 100 artists will be performing.
Diamond's latest love song, UTANIPENDA, which means: 'Would You Love Me' is similar to R. City's Locked Away. In the song, the Tanzanian singer asks Zari if she will still be there for him when all over a sudden he becomes broke and returns to his village home in Tandale, Kinondoni District in Dar-es-Salaam.
The video was uploaded last Friday on YouTube, but six days later, it has over half a million views and 10,000 likes. He goes on to say that if he is in debt and sells off his State House, radio and TV stations stop playing his music, the fans who used to praise him now just abuse him on Instagram, would you still love me? He asks.
In the video, there is a babe cruising a Mark X, she looks exactly like Diamomd Platnumz ex, Wema Sepetu, she drives through dirty water spraying Diamond who was walking on the side of the road.
Platnumz does not forget the Tabloids which he says are good at exaggerating, they will not spare him the moment Zari dumps him, he asks Zari that in her prayers, she should pray so hard that her husband does not end up a joke on the streets.
A sweet friend of today is a great enemy of tomorrow, Tell me would you still love me, the camera's switch to Zari whose nodding indicates YES!! Their baby, Tiffah Dangote and Platnumz mom also appear in the video seeking for help from ex-President Jakaya Kikwete's gate for help but they are chased away now that Platnumz Dee is a nobody.
Zari will be in Uganda any minute from now ahead of her Zari All White Party tomorrow. "See you in a bit Uganda #ZariAllWhiteCirocParty this Thursday 17 Dec 2015 at Guvnor Uganda," was her tweet 20 hours back.
Utanipenda is one of the songs that Diamond Platnumz will perform at the Born to Win Concert with Pato Ranking this Friday at Lugogo Cricket Oval.
King Lawrence and Zari's ex-hubby, Ivan Semwanga jet in tonight for the Rich Gang Party that will be held on December 23. Last year, the Rich Gang crew comprised of Ivan, King, Meddie Ssentongo and Ed Cheune who is already in the country, but this year, Meddie Ssentongo teamed up with Katsha and Cameroon Gitawo to form the TMT Africa group. The two camps are already out doing each other.
Katsha had hoped to leave a mark with his TMT party after pumping in so much and shipping in expensive gold-plated rides but unfortunately for him, he was arrested in South Africa on fraud charges and therefore, won't be able to make it to Uganda this festive season.
It's also said that the rides that include a Bentley and Lamborghini were used as collateral to get him money to pay off his legal team after his accounts were frozen following the arrest, he had also hoped to secure his bail today but we are yet to confirm that.
Meddie Ssentongo and Cameroon Gitawo are now running the show. Katsha's pregnant babe, Shakira, might not even attend that party now that she is about to give birth, but that aside, Cameroon and Katsha are locked up in a bitter exchange after the former left South Africa before securing Katsha's bail.
Katsha now says Gitawo is a wanted man in South Africa for having stolen a Lexus car something that Gitawo rubbishes saying those are effects of being in jail, he is not thinking straight. On arrival in Uganda, Gitawo said that 600million was the budgeted amount for the party but the Rich Gang Crew say that he has never held that money in his life.
Ivan Semwanga, King Lawrence, Meddie Ssentongo and ED Cheune
Meanwhile, as the Rich Gang Crew continue with their bickering Zari and her lover Diamond Platnumz are smoothly sailing through.
Last year, Diamond Platnumz was the guest artist for Zari's All White Party but this year, Diamond Platnumz has teamed up with Pato Ranking and will be having a show at Lugogo Cricket Oval on December 18 a day after the Zari All White Party.
Diamond Platnumz was in South Africa to check on mama Latty and his little princess, Latiffah.
The couple took their love to cruising on this scooter with Zari throwing her head back laughing and occasionally lifting her leg as Diamond proved he was a force to reckon. Platnumz hugged the new mom so tight as they balanced on the wheels that gave Haruna Mubiru a run for his money.
As they cruised, What is Love's song by Veronica Bozeman was playing in the background. "This is like giving someone a gun trusting they won't shoot, literally trusting him with your whole life," Zari captioned the short clip.
Diamond shared the same clip with his insta fans and Patoranking's 'My Woman, My Everything' was playing in the background.
Zari is still in South Africa bonding with her three sons there. The couple was seen painting the streets of J'burg with love.
Zari had this message for her fans as they get into the last month of the year;
"Celebrate your journey. Maybe you're not yet where you want to be but you've been thru a lot of hard stuff & your still standing. Trust that God is bringing every person, every lesson, every opportunity into your life to get you where you're meant to be... Happy Last month of the year. Helloooo December 01.12.2015 00.01am"
Meanwhile, On December 18, Diamond Platnumz and Patorankings will be rocking Lugogo Cricket Oval a day after the Zari All White Party that will be held at Guvnor.
After losing his wife to Tanzanian singer, Diamond Platnumz, Ivan Ssemwanga has resorted to getting lighter and skin bleaching is suspected.
The dad of three was spotted in the company of Katsha De Bank and Gagamel CEO Bebe Cool who had travelled down South for the shooting of his Killin It video.
Ivan has for some reason failed to replace Zari, Katsha's pregnant babe is currently in Uganda while Bebe Cool's wife, Zuena Kirema is still in the US receiving postpartum care, the boys were all by themselves.
Back to the subject matter, Ivan looked a lot darker than he looks now, we hope he is not taking the avenue of "If it ain't white, it ain't right"
We've compared an earlier pic of Ivan and Katsha a few months back, there was not much difference in their skin complexion than there is now!!!
Tanzania's recording artist, Nasibu Abdul Jumma going by his stage name, Diamond Platnumz, is among the 2015 Europe Music Awards winners. The 26 year old beat African artists that include Davido, Yemi Alade and South Africa's AKA and Ivorian DJ Arafat plus indian musicians to take the Best African/Indian Act.
Other winners include Rihanna for Best Female, Justin Bieber for Best Look, Biggest Fans Award and Best Male.
"Just wanted to let you know that I have won the MTV EMA Best World Wide Act. This is not my trophy, it's our trophy, me and you," Platnumz noted in his tweet as he shared the good news. The awards took place at the Mediolanum Forum in Milan, Italy on October 25.
His baby mama, Zari Hassan, thanked the voters and fans too. "Thanking everyone who voted for hubby at the #MtvEma." Diamond Platnumz will be performing in Kampala on December 18, 2015.
Socialite Zari has been in South Africa for close to a month now where she went to check on her three sons, and oh yes, once in a while, she bumps into their father, Ivan Ssemwanga.
Ivan's half brother, King Lawrence, has started from where he stopped if you recall the DNA issue and now, he says Zari is after Ivan these days..
However, Zari is not about to let that affect her love life with lover, Diamond Platnumz. "You have the power to rule your own world, once you realise that, you will never let petty issues affect you."
Meanwhile, King Lawrence, has hooked up another Zungu babe.."She is far prettier, richer and younger than both Zari and Huddah Monroe."
Yesterday was Diamond Platnumz birthday, he turned 26. His birthday falls ten days after Zari who was celebrating her 35th birthday, they have a child together. Messages were coming in from fans, friends and family but Zari's was the best;
"Everything I could say has been said and you've probably heard it over and over but; this year you celebrate your birthday as a father a blessing and a gift that's bigger than life its self. Your birthday gift came earlier this year there isn't anything else i can give you. So allow me to wish you a happy birthday as BABA TEE."
"May the almighty God continue showering you with blessings over your career and MOST IMPORTANTLY to grant you many more years to see @princess_tiffah start her grade one, see her to university, date boys (i know you don't wana hear this but its going to happen ,hand her out in marriage and lastly to be able to see your grand kids (Tiffah's babies) that said, let's wish him a Happy birthday."
Zari's fan went on to ask if she recalled Ivan Semwanga's birthday, the mom of 4 was quick to respond that his will be in December...
Mom of 4, Zari Hassan Dangote turned 35 on September 23, she loved her day as her lover Diamond Platnumz threw a surprise birthday pool party.
"Couldn't have been happier because I had no intention of throwing a party, I think I've done it all. I wanted something money couldn't buy this time around and guess what family and friends gave me the best memories I will cherish forever," Zari noited on her wall.
After months away, Zari has gone back to South Africa to join her other family, the boys were more than happy to receive their sister who they were meeting for the very first time.
This was Zari's Birthday cake with these inscriptions: "Happy Birthday Zari, Mama Latty - Happy Birthday precious wife, love you."
Cute, beautiful, adorable, sweet were some of the words most fans were posting after baby Tiffah's face was finally unveiled. Socialite Zari gave birth to her fourth and Diamond Platnumz' first child 40 days back, but since then, fans were subjected to seeing toes, fingers and the back of her head but not the face.
Today, however, the celebrity baby's face was unveiled to the public not only as baby Tiffah but also the face of NMB (National Microfinance Bank) junior account. It's amazing how a baby of slightly over a month is already earning millions of shillings.
"This is my daughter Latiffah Bint Nasibu Abdul," Zari wrote as she unveiled Latiffa's face whose instagram account currently stands at 127,000 plus followers.
Many seemed to agree that the baby looks like Diamond Platnumz, so there's no need for a DNA test like Semwanga's half brother, King Lawrence, had earlier suggested.
Meanwhile, Diamond Platnumz' State House is fitted with surveillance cameras to ensure all is well with the little Princess, the Queen and the King himself let alone the bathroom fitted with gold-plated accessories.
In the pic above, apart from Prince Jjunju, the rest of the men have been associated with socialite Zari who is currently dating Tanzanian singer Diamond Platnumz.
"When all your exes decide to come together," King Lawrence wrote as he shared the pic. Ivan is the father of Zari's three boys while LK4 was the very first dude Zari dated when her affair with Ivan became rocky and before dating Diamond Platnumz, Zari was moving out with Farouk Ssempala.
King Lawrence has always told Diamond Platnumz that he hit it first and just recently, Ivan's half brother shocked everyone when he instructed his Kampala lawyers to serve Zari with a notice that required her to carry out a DNA test to ascertain who the biological father of baby Tiffah was, this must have been some of those stunts he pulls on behalf of Ivan Ssemwanga.
But regarding the allegations that King had it with her, this was her response;
"Ma dude (Platnumz) needs a b***h too, that gay-eish thing of yours is not on point. Baby daddy (Ivan) failed to "wife" you all this time you've been fighting his battles, you think Diamond Platnumz will? So it's true, when they see you happy, they start hating more huh?"
Ivan Semwanga was a few days contributing Etoffali to Buganda Kingdom and it's no wonder that Kabaka's son Prince Jjunju has paid him a courtesy call while on his visit to South Africa.
In December, they will be holding their Rich Gang Party at Liquid Silk in Bugolobi whose theme is; Money, Power and Fame
On Aug 6, socialite Zari and Diamond Platnumz were blessed with a baby girl, but since then, the mother of four has shared very many pics of baby Latiffah but without showing the face. Between now and September 20, Zari is still hoping for more sponsors to get on board by paying colossal sums of money.
"On the 20th of September 2015 my daughter's face @princess_tiffah will be exclusively shown for the first time to the public... "
When other mothers post pics breastfeeding their babies, what you see is what you get, but when Zari does that, it's a political statement.
Zari has shared her first breastfeeding pic to dispel rumors that were widely circulating, that, she wasn't breastfeeding baby Latiffah all in the name of keeping her center folds firm. Other sources were citing breast implants as the reason behind Zari's actions, but depending on where the surgery was done, it does not stop new mothers from breastfeeding.
In the pic, Zari is seen feeding her little princess but some mothers have come out to say that the posture is not that of a breastfeeding mom, she is doing that for the camera.
Well, in another pic, which appears more or less at the same time when Zari was breastfeeding, her mom, Latiffah's grand mother is seen feeding the little princess on a bottle. Again, in another pic, Zari is feeding the baby in what looks like a bottle setting tongues wagging.
Three weeks back, socialite Zari gave birth to her fourth child and Diamond Platnumz' first child in Tanzania, but for reasons best known to her, she had declined to show the baby's face and won't do so unless after forty days.
"We now want to see the DNA results since you are going to show us everything," One wrote.
Meanwhile, down in South Africa, Zari's ex-hubby, Ivan Semwanga is busy taking good care of their three soldiers as they prefer to call them. Three days back he was letting whoever cared to know that he sleeps alone in his versace bed.
When King Lawrence through his lawyers issued Zari with instructions requiring her to subject baby Latiffah to a DNA test, her baby daddy, Diamond Platnumz, said he had not received any order from the courts.
"I have not received any formal order from the courts asking me to conduct paternity tests on my daughter. We should know people use the media for different purposes like the one we are seeing of a guy being so creative and convincing people to believe his false claims."
In his interview with Tanzania's Cloud FM, the Bongo Flava star went on to say that Zari is not a married woman, we discussed the same and she clearly told me she has never been married to anybody.
Before meeting Diamond Platnumz, Zari was involved with three men, Ivan Ssemwanga, the father of her three children, basket ball star Isaac Lugudde aka LK4 and muscle man, Farouk Sempala.
However, the transition between Farouk and Diamond Platnumz was just a matter of hours, it's no wonder that the likes of King Lawrence are demanding for a DNA test.
During the time when Farouk was still dating Zari, he was equally being told of Zari's past, he had this to say: "Stop flooding my inbox with gossip to Zari. If she did A, B, C...fair enough, I also did D, E and F."
Meanwhile, Platnumz showed off his spacious bathroom with a 32-inch-plasma TV with GOLD sink and taps and other accessories, it was also Zari's shower hour who enjoyed Indian music at the time.
This morning, Diamond Platnumz baby mama in her style of get inspired or expired shared a pic that made her look a lot younger than the mom she was two weeks back prompting questions like: 'Other than the gym, what do you do to look that young?"
In the pic, Zari is putting on a black gym bra top with bottom tracksuits completed with white sneakers.
The picture shows Ssemwanga's ex looking much younger compared to the pics she shared minutes and days after giving birth to Diamond Platnumz' child two weeks back. This forced one to pop the question; 'Which year was that, you looked so pretty and young?'
Another lady who gave birth four years back and now looks like 4 months pregnant also wondered what the mom of four had done to look so fit.
However, something is just not adding up here..The pics when she looks actually young have a totally different hair style, in fact, on those pics, she has no hair extensions and for some reason, the tattoo is nowhere to be seen, but trust Zari, she will do anything to silence her ex-lover who is operating behind the King Lawrence DNA machinery.
Zari is now using her ''young looks'' to steal the show from King Lawrence who should planning another stunt now that the seven days deadline given to Zari to respond ends today.
This is Zari's look 13 days after giving birth to her fourth baby..
Zari was today showing off her flat tummy just days after giving birth. In the three shots as she prepared to have a swim after working out, Diamond Platnumz' bae was looking like a sweet sixteen. This is not the type of body you give to a mom of four and not forgetting, one who gave birth barely two weeks ago.
The socialite has healed already and the Bongo Flavour star is back on his game busy working his way to baby number 2. Trust Zari, she is now using her hot body to distract her fans and followers from King Lawrence who is insisting they will meet in court over the DNA issue.
King Lawrence wants Zari's baby to be subjected to a DNA test to ascertain if the baby is his or Diamond Platnumz, this is Zari's latest remarks on the issue:
"Revenge is for the petty. A BO$$LADY knows that the misery a hater has to live with as they watch her happiness & success is enough punishment. Gotta give ma back to all that BS out there. People only dim a light that's too bright for them." She then went on to wish her happy followers a blessed Tuesday.
Hours after it turned out that Ivan's half brother, King Lawrence, wants a DNA test done on Zari's baby, the socialite has simply branded him a mad man. Zari shared a pic of Latiffah's baby showing a bit of her hair with this caption;
"Somebody won't sleep at this time, so let's pray. God help us to draw comfort from our faith in you.." the fans joined her in prayer.
"Don't you think it's time to show your followers baby Tiffah's face?" one asked. The mom of three boys and one girl wrote that after 40 days. The fans went on to ask about King Lawrence's move that requires her to subject the baby to a DNA test, Zari responded with this line; "Oyo Mulalu" meaning; He is mad.
Zari's ex hubby, Ivan Ssemwanga has tried to move on after Zari but it's not been easy..He tried a go at a TV personality but as you can see in the pic below, he was forced to make that clarification when it turned out that she was preggie.
The game is still on...King Lawrence is back with a bang and this time around, he wants a DNA test done on Zari's baby to ascertain if the baby belongs to him or singer Diamond Platnumz.
King Lawrence, real name Sserunjogi Lawrence is Ivan Semwanga's half brother and for the record, Ivan is Zari's ex-hubby with whom they have three children, all boys.
Ivan was yesterday with the boys busy celebrating his first born's belated birthday at his residence in South Africa with Zari sending them the best of wishes from her new home in Tanzania. It's the first time for Zari not to be around for her son's birthday in 12 years, but it's understandable.
In January, King Lawrence told of how he had slept with Zari but the mom of four quickly responded; "That gay-eish thing of yours is not on point. Baby daddy (Ivan) failed to "wife" you all this time you've been fighting his battles you think Diamond Platnumz will?"
That was just around the time when Zari was constantly on the move between South Africa and Tanzania busy dealing with the project which we all now know. Zari went on to say;
"So it's true, when they see you happy, they start hating more huh?" Zari concluded.
It's less than two weeks since Zari gave birth to her princess but King Lawrence won't even let her be,he has gone ahead to instruct his Kampala lawyers to serve Zari with a notice that requires three DNA paternity tests to be done on the baby, one in Uganda, one in South Africa and another in the United States of America (USA).
In the letter dated Aug 14, King wants to be confirmed or excluded as the biological father, Zari has up to seven days to respond but now that the letter is circulating on social networks, Ivan's ex will respond when she receives it...For now though, she is busy in the gym trying to fight the belly and keeping in shape.
Zari's baby, @princess_latiffah is less than 10 days old but the socialite is not about to show her daughter's face. The fans want to know whose features the celebrity baby with close to 90,000 followers on Instagram has taken.
However, Zari and Tanzania's Diamond Platnumz are still weighing the options before the fans can eventually see the beautiful princess. What is causing the delay?
Media houses - Publishers in TZ are not offering enough otherwise, the pics could be all over by now.
Wema Sepetu camp - Wema Sepetu's camp has released a doctored pic of a baby they are calling Latiffah, so as a way of countering them, Zari will continue to hide the baby's face rendering those in circulation null and void.
Who does the baby look like? - The fans want to see if they can see certain traits of the baby having a spitting image of her dad or whether at all she resembles Zari's previous partners considering that it's only a matter of hours when Zari dumped Farouk to start dating Diamond Platnumz.
It's still too early - If Latiffah's overall resemblance was that of Platnumz, the pic would be already on social networks leaked by none other than her mom but chances are this is not the case, so they will wait a little longer to see if she could look like the father, it's then that the pic will start doing rounds.
Zari-Ivan-Lawrence drama - A few days back, Ivan's half brother, King Lawrence shared a pic of him and Zari's ex hubby Ivan Ssemwanga chilling which he captioned as; "Chilling with Tiffah's father," now this line has a caused a storm in TZ with one of the dailies having a screaming headline; "TIFFAH SI MTOTO WA DIAMOND" translated as Tiffah is not Diamond's child.
This has left Zari with no choice but to reach out to her swahili speaking followers to let them know that the baby out there is not Tiffah.
It's day 4 since Zari gave birth to baby No. 4 but she was able to take time off princess Latiffah's schedule to reach out to top female social critic, Rita Kaggwa, of the first ever pyjama party in Uganda. It was held at Club venom yesterday but the attendance was relatively low forcing Zari to engage her social gear.
"Miss p***gy, I guess you know where you belong now to the dumps. Stop undermining people who are way better than you. I won't say much but karma serves you exactly what you want."
Some of Zari's fans were quick to tell her to calm down and take care of the little baby and also to say that even her, the first White Party was not that successful, but Zari was not about to back down.
"It's a flop party of the year and if she could have talked to me nicely, may be I could have given her a shout out on my wall and about 200 people could have attended.."
Based on what transpired in the events leading up to the time Zari gave birth, some were in agreement with Zari's action. All that Ritah could do was to post a pic of pregnant Zari on her wall and insults would flow from all corners, based on the many comments and likes she got, she soon devised means of thinking out of the box and the Pyjama Party idea was born.
Unfortunately for Rita, the turn up was not commensurate with the likes or comments she normally receives on an average post on her wall. New mom, Zari Hassan, feels this is the best time for her to pay back..
Meanwhile, Rita has waken up from the fatigue of yesterday only to find her wall on fire following Zari's post, and like she always does, she just laughed it off with a simple line; "You've given the new mom her level, what a Sunday," she concluded.
Zari's next All White Party will be held on December 17, 2015 at #Guvnor.
Zari and Ivan Semwanga's first born, Pinto, has turned 12, a day after his mother giving birth to Diamond Platnumz' baby Latiffah Nassib Abdul Dangote.
In spite of her condition, she took time off baby Latiffah's busy schedule to wish Pinto the very best on his day.
"Let's send some bday wishes to my soccer star son Pinto. Happy bday my lovely, adorable, humble, smart & down to earth son. Words can't express how much you mean to me. Mommy loves you, may the Good Lord continue blessing you abundantly from this day forward.."
Then followed the dad; "Happy birthday to my first son wish him the best today."
Last year, Zari hired a Hummer Limo for Pinto and his buddies to go partying but this year, Pinto will have to celebrate without his mom who is miles away in Tanzania attending to her 2-day-old Latty.
Again, around this time last year, Zari was breaking up with Farouk Sempala and within just days, Diamond Platnumz was on board and the Latiffah results are here for all to see.
"We are very ok and happy. Clearly where does it state I broke up with Farouk coz he is broke or coz of the White Party..... We are ok and very much together," Those were the words Zari used as she tried to dispel rmours she had broken up with Farouk.
And, this was her take on hanging out with Ivan last year lest, it could cause problems in her new relationship(s).
"As for Ivan, he has every right to attend any of his kids functions, soccer games, B-Day parties, school events you name it, he has a right to be there. Our relationship differences does not make any of us less of parents. We still execute our duties as parents like expected."
Baby has close to 40,000 followers on her instagram account that was opened on her arrival...
"Thank you so much for all your well wishes. Latiffah is amazingly so beautiful more than I could have ever imagined. Thanks for your prayers once again. We are doing okay especially daddy Platnumz is so overjoyed. Thank you lord for the blessings."
These words are coming after a camp from Diamond Platnumz ex, Wema Sepetu was spreading a pic of a yawning baby code named '256 likes' claiming that is Zari's baby, but like Zari puts it, Latiffah is so beautiful more than she could have ever imagined.
This eve, Zari and Latiffah were at the hospital balcony 'waving' to those who spotted them. "My beautiful view with princess Latiffah tis evening watching the sun go down overlooking the ocean from the balcony of our ward.." The mom of four wrote.
Meanwhile, princess Latiffah's instagram account which was opened today has 38,538 followers and by close of day, that number could be above 40,000 followers.
Zari and Diamond Platnumz have this morning welcomed baby Latiffah , but you can call her Latty or Tiffah. In the picture, Diamond Platnumz mom is holding Princess Latiffah as Zari recovers from the whole birth experience.
Just a few days back, Zari was lifting weights and doing lots of pregnancy exercises as she prepared for the little princess' arrival.
"My mom's face, It's enough to express how I feel, welcome to the world Princess Latiffah, " Diamond wrote on his wall.
Latiffah's room is all done.
Socialite Zari has three boys from her previous relationship with South African based businessman, Ivan Ssemwanga, this is her first daughter. Four days back, Ivan was checking on his son's progress at school and this is what he had to say;
"Doing my father job at my sons school checking on his school projects, Its good to be a father," Ivan noted on his wall.
Socialite Zari has embarked on challenging pregnancy exercises as she prepares to take her baby down.
Pregnancy experts say that lifting weights is a great way to stay fit before and after giving birth provided you are within certain limits and your care provider has given you the go-ahead. They also advise that you must enlist someone with experience of working with mothers-to-be, Zari was seen working out with his lover, Platnumz, does he have that experience?, may be yes..
"The struggle is real..Gotta keep that b.utt in place with the squats. Well it's always easier with man power," Socialite Zari captioned the pics she shared on her Instagram account.
Looking at Zari working out, the weight did not seem hard for her, the mother of three did more of the back squats and shoulder press. This will be her first child with the Tanzanian singer, Diamond Platnumz. Zari has three children from her previous relationship so given that experience plus these work outs, the whole process should be a walkover for her.
Scan findings reveal it's a baby girl. Diamond kept a closer eye on his boo to be sure the weights did not hit her abdomen..Squats are one of the best pregnancy exercises as they reduce the lower back and hip pain and increased muscle strength.
The biggest and the best white party is back, Zari has announced..She may be very heavy but that has not stopped her from chasing paper..
"Good day ladies and gentlemen. Which artist would you like to see at this year's #ZariAllWhiteParty Annual event in Uganda Come the 17th December 2015.....?"
Her fans did not disappoint though very many artists were proposed, Baby Daddy to be Diamond Platnumz, P-Square, Wizkid, Sauti Sol, Pato Rankings and Yemi Alade were the most requested.
Last year's party was held on December 18 and some patrons were left out because the venue could not accommodate the numbers, it's not yet clear what plans have been put in place to avoid that scenario from happening again.
The Tanzanian version that was held on May 01, 2015 at Mlimani City Hall was a sell out too though the venue was big enough to cater for large numbers. This year, fans will have to come from the rest of East Africa as this project has now been taken to a different level, Diamond Platnumz' fans have by default become Zari's.
"I'm not dating Doreen Kyomuhangi and not responsible for the child she is carrying," Zari's ex, Ivan Semwanga noted this morning.
Doreen is a news anchor at NBS TV and given her skin complexion which is not very different from Zari's, many had hoped that she was replacing the mother of Ivan's three soldiers. Doreen is pregnant and Ivan is quick to distance himself from the pregnancy.
In May, similar claims had come up that Doreen and Ivan were dating, she did not waste any minute in clearing the space by letting whoever cared to know that she was not about to replace Zari, and in her message, she seemed not to even know who Zari was.
"I'm not engaged to anyone and white has never been my colour,"
Being pregnant comes with it's complications but trust you me, Zari is going through it with a lot of ease given the support that Diamond Platnumz has extended to her.
In the pic above, it's clearly evident that the TZ singer has showered Zari with a lot of love as he is seen spending most of his time just feeling the baby movements. it's also said that he will be by her side when she eventually gives birth, something that most ladies love.
The count down is on..her doctors have advised her to scale down on her social activity with her last post on twitter being on July 10, while the last post she made on facebook and Instagram was on July 12. This was her last event (Pregnant Zari to host event in Rwanda).
Just last Thursday, Zari was with her boys in South Africa and now, she has already joined her boo as she prepares for the arrival of the princess, she is eight months and will be in Tanzania up to the time they welcome their princess.
What Zari touches normally turns into gold. We've seen it with her Zari All White Parties in Uganda and Tanzania which were all sold out. And now, she continues with the hustle and not even the pregnancy is about to stop her from chasing paper.
This Saturday, Zari will be in Rwanda hosting the Rwanda International Fashion World event that will see several designers show casing their outfits. Oh Yes she is very pregnant and that is the very reason she will co-host the event with Teta Sandra who represented Rwanda in the 2013 Miss University Africa pageant finals.
The event will be held at Porto Fino Hotel Nyarutarama with Bebe Cool performing alongside Riderman and Christopher.
Zari told a fan who was concerned about her travelling in that state that she will be fine and all set to travel.
"Kigali are you ready? 3 days before Miss Zee turns up in your city for the 1st ever Rwanda international Fashion world Event with ma gal @tetasandra_smily and Ugandas' Big Size artist @bebecool_ug.... u don't wana miss out on this one, see you there...."
It's the holy month of Ramadan and our local stars have taken to social networks to convey their wishes.
Leila Kayondo - Happy Ramadan fellow Moslems...
Cindy Sanyu - I can't spend a day without eating food so I salute all Muslims and I wanna wish them a successful fasting season.
Zuena Kirema - Alhamdullilah Ramathan is finally here,may Allah accept our fasting and prayers in this holy month and also purify our hearts and souls as well as forgive our sins. Ramathan Kareem.
Bebe Cool - Ramathan kareem to all my Muslim friends.May Allah walk you through safely.Blessings..
This game is becoming very interesting..It started off with Katsha buying a Lambo but being the second after Ivan's, it has not generated much excitement the way Ivan Semwanga's did.
On Tuesday, Diamond Platnumz who is in South Africa to check on his boo, Zari, was shooting a video for his latest song and one of his ideas was to have a Lambo feature as a hot scene in the video, it took a phone call for Zari to convince Katsha to hand over the ride but before doing so, Katsha used that time as a photo moment with the Bongo flavour star which wasn't bad for his 'CV'.
"Thanks a lot baby, It's finally here.." Platnumz wrote on his instagram profile. Now this is the message that sent mixed signals to the extent that Zari was forced out of her her bed to come and rescue the situation.
In the above message, Platnumz made it look like Zari had bought the ride for him as a Thank You for the job well done, but Zari very quickly came to his rescue in this post:
"Many thanks to my brother Katsha the King of rides, for making it happen, Ma boo couldn't stop thanking me I guess it's always good to have a gal who's got your back, thanks once again. Watch the space # NewVideoTingz!!!!," Zari noted on her wall.
She then went on to attack the women who were on her case that these days she only strikes a pose in the kitchen and bedroom but not with the posh rides when she was still with Ssemwanga, the father of her three sons. She did not have kind words for these ones;
"Ebikazi bizungila ku Facebook oti mbwa dakukyalo mbu bili nonya lugambo," loosely translated as; "These women just hang around Facebook like village dogs in search for gossip..."

Again, the International Viewers Choice Award should not be mixed with The Best International Act, Africa Category of which Kenzo is not among the artists nominated. Below is the list of the nominees with Sauti Sol as the only artist from East Africa.
AKA - South Africa
Fally Ipupa - DRC
Sarkodie - Ghana
Sauti Sol - Kenya

The Soil - South Africa
Wizkid - Nigeria
Yemi Alade - Nigeria
Moze Radio and Weasel were in 2013 nominated in the BET Awards but they lost to Ice Prince. In a related development, Zari has been forced out of her bed to rally behind our 'in-law', Diamond Platnumz and Bebe Cool in the MTV Africa Music awards. Zari's action is as a result of the pressure from Wema Sepetu who has since withdrawn her support from Diamond and channeled it to his rivals.
It should be recalled that this is the very guy who was complaining that his elder sister was dating a guy as young as him; "You are ashaming us, how can you date a boy my age. You moved from one man to another in less than 3 days."
For the record, Diamond Platnumz is 9 years younger than Zari, he seems to be the best thing that has happened to Zari lately. Karim's statement came shortly after Zari had dumped her then lover, Farouk, and three days later, she hooked Platnumz on a flight to SA.
The concerned Zari had to politely tell Karim that; We're Just Friends With Platnumz -Zari and nothing more than that. Karim was the 'muko' during the December 2011 Zari-Ivan introduction ceremony at Munyonyo which saw Karim drive off with a brand new golf car and over 20 cockerels as presents from Ivan Ssemwanga.
However, few months later, the East African project or rather friendship has blossomed into a bump that will see Zari unveil Princess Candy not long from now, and as they say, if you can't beat them join them, so is this what we are seeing Karim doing!!
With a baby on the way, Karim's options seem to be limited leaving him with no choice but to join the 'Zarimond' project and as seen from the pics, the two are looking very comfortable already..
These two are in love !!!! - Chibu Dangote knows how to take care of a woman...many had thought that by this time, the couple could be no more, but they have proved everyone wrong as the two are busy shopping for their princess who will be arriving anytime soon.
Not even the rumor that the pregnancy could be for another man was enough to scare Diamond off his bae, he is now officially our 'in-law' and just as well, Tanzania has welcomed Zari with open arms..
Zari has a list of previous lovers excluding the father of her three soldiers but looking at how she has played the game of love with Tanzania's finest, Diamond Platnumz, these two are bound to grow old together, this is real love which might have been lacking in her previous relationships.
In their free time, they look at baby Apps tracking everything that is happening to their princess on a day-to-day basis.
Yesterday, the couple spent the entire morning in Msasani City Hall in Dar es Salaam shopping for baby Candy as Diamond revealed on the sides of the Zari All White Party early this month.
And the baby bump Zari pics continue, she took this one specifically for those in doubt especially now that she is capable of anything. Last month, she took studio pics for her White Party equating it to a wedding, the fans were excited only to turn out otherwise.
The 34-year-old showed off her four month beautiful baby bump straight from the gym and she was looking flawless. This is Zari's fourth pregnancy and Diamond's first child.
With just a few months left before Zari’s princess arrives, the couple is on a shopping spree. This morning, Zari showed off some nice cream baby booties with beads all over that she picked from her favorite store, Casdeluxe.
It's just days after their successful Zari All White Party in Tanzania, but back in South Africa, duty calls, so Zari has gone to check on her three soldiers their who also need her company very badly just like Diamond does.
The mom of three will for now have to juggle between Tz and South Africa to the time when she finally drops the tot.
Zari is right now in South Africa checking on the boys before making her way to TZ to check on her boo, Diamond Platnumz.
A few days back, Diamond Platnumz and other family members were in a meeting regarding the paternity of the child, but the Natakalewa singer gave them the assurance that the baby was his and therefore, no cause to worry.
Mlimani Conference Hall was on fire on May 01 as Diamond Platnumz and his significant other showered their fans with love at the first annual Zari All White party in Tanzania.
Just like the last All White party in Kampala, even the one in Tanzania was a sell out. "Thank you Lord for the ZariAllWhiteParty sale out and thanks to all that turned up tonight. Much much much appreciated," Zari tweeted.
It was a celebrity affair, guests who did not respect teh dress code were turned down. Kenyan socialite, Huddah Monroe, Big Brother 2014 winner, Idris Sultan were among the guests that graced the event. Kenyan comedian, Eric Omondi wowed the crowd.
During the photo session, Diamond amused fans when he tried to 'see through' Zari's tummy confessing that he loved her more in her current state.

Some of the Ugandan guests who travelled to Dar for the Zari All White Party. On the left is Kim Swagga and Abryanz boss, Brian Ahumuza with ripped jeans who are both celebrity designers, and on the right is RnB rapper Atlas Da African.
Today, all roads will lead to Mlimani City Conference Hall Dar-es-Salaam for the Zari All White Party. In the pic is Zari's mom and sisters who have already made their way to Tanzania to witness Diamond Platnumz propose to Zari officially.
"1 May will be a historic day to Zari as there are many important things I plan to do for my love, people will officially know my intention to Zari because she is a woman who is there just for me all the time, so I ought to show her real love, I will do everything possible to show her how much I love her," Platnumz told one publication.
The event will be live on the zariwhiteparty.com website for those who pay $5 online. VVIP goes for $1700 and VIP $560 which is Ugx 4.9 and 1.6 million respectively.
This will be the sitting area for the VVIP section.
Meanwhile, this is coming at the time when Platnumz' ex, Wema Sepetu, had just held her secret wedding to man she prefers to keep a secret for now. Wema and her man just met two months back but are now married.
Latest info reaching our desk indicates that Wema is thinking of attending the A-list party that takes place tonight at Mlimani Hall but close friends have advised that it might not be a wise thing for her to do.
It is a busy schedule for Diamond Platnumz and Zari. Over the weekend, the couple was in Zanzibar where Diamond had a performance at Ngomekongwe not forgetting that it's three days to the Zari All White Party at Mlimani city in Dae-es-salaam.
It should also be recalled that when Zari and Platnumz took the wedding like shots, it was in preparation for the All White Party, much as it was not the wedding and Platnumz had made his fans to believe so, the trick worked and that was all courtesy of the East African project by Zari and her boo, Chibu Dangote.
Trust Zari, that is her way of doing things and Platnumz is more than happy to have her around, the baby bump says it all. The Zari All White Party is expected to be a sell out just like it was the case in Kampala last year.
On May 7, Platnumz will be performing live in Dubai and later in the month, he will be in London and on May 25 Mwanza and Ethiopia will be next. On all those trips, Zari is expected to move with the love of her life, Chibu Dangote Diamond Platnumz.
While in Zanzibar, the couple took off time from their busy schedule to relax as they plan for the times ahead.
Zari and Diamond Platnumz' baby must be very content where she is - because there is no sign of her just yet! After her 3 soldiers, Zari is expecting her fourth child and just like her three boys blessed with a loaded dad, so is the girl that Zari will be dropping soon.
Does this mean her ex, Farouk Sempala was not loaded, otherwise that time Zari spent with him was way longer compared to the time she has spent with Diamond Platnumz who are even expecting their first child.
A few weeks back, we told of how she was rocking East Africa courtesy of her new found fame, she was in Kenya for the Art of Luxury event at Skylux lounge in Nairobi, and now, plans are underway to go back to Rwanda where she will be the Face of Rwanda International Fashion World.
Again, South Sudan should be on standby because she will be rocking their area code anytime soon and not even the pregnancy will stop her, she is doing it the Tiwa Savage way of t.werking with a bump just weeks before delivery.
Meanwhile, as she continues reading through congratulatory comments from friends and well wishers on exchanging vows with Tanzania's finest star, Diamond Platnumz, Ivan is just driving around the streets of Kampala.
As Zari is busy enjoying her honeymoon, her ex-hubby, Ivan Ssemwanga is in Kampala busy dishing out cash to whoever wants it. He was at Guvnor for the Night in Vegas theme party where he dished out lots of cash to all the curvy and bummy babes.
Fans have this morning congratulated Zari and Diamond Platnumz on getting married.
However, Ivan Ssemwanga's half brother, King Lawrence thinks otherwise, in his own words he says; This is Diamond's biggest mistake.
Could Lawrence be saying this because after twelve years even with a traditional wedding (Introduction) involved, it failed to work out between Zari and Ivan, could it be the short period Zari and Platnumz have dated and a baby is on the way and within no time, they are putting a ring on it, only time will tell.
For now though, Zari and Platnumz continue reading through the many comments from well wishers, fans and friends that have been pouring in since yesterday when Platnumz first broke the news.
It's official, Zari and Diamond Platnumz are married. The two lovers tied the knot in TZ at the countries registrar's office. In Tanzania, you must have a certificate of no impediment from your country prior to getting married, the certificate states that there is no impediment to your marriage because;
You were not married before
You were divorced and this has to be supported by a divorce certificate
Or, you were widowed, a death certificate in this case has to be attached.
For Zari's case, none of the above cases applies. She was with her baby daddy for over ten years, but the closest to that was an introduction ceremony that was held in December 2011, Lots of gift items were exchanged in form of cows, cars to mention but a few.
However, it was not all rosy forcing Zari out of the marriage following several beatings. She dated LK4 but somehow, things did not work out, then rode with muscle man, Farouk Sempala, only to dump him for a young, award winning, Tanzania's finest Nasib Abdul Juma Chibu Dangote.
They hooked up around November las year, but a few months later, Zari is very heavy to the point that the pregnancy has even made her feet swell. A few days back, the mom of three revealed, she will be dropping a baby girl. FOR the record, she is 9 years older than the Bongo flavor star, Diamond Platnumz.
This is what Zari has been looking for all along, someone that can put a ring on it. The function was private with just two witnesses and private as it is, this must have taken place on Thursday because yesterday, the day they shared the news, it was a Public holiday, (Good Friday), so there is now way this could have happened on that day.
"Wakati Mwingine Usiri Unabaraka zaidi.... Alhamdulillah, Sometimes Privacy has more Blessings... Thank you so Much God," Platnumz noted as he shared the good news.
The catfight between Zari and Ivan Semwanga's latest babe, Malkia Wakichaga, continues. She now says, Zari's pregnancy is for a one Katunzi and not for Tanzanian singer, Diamond Platnumz.
The cold nights for Ivan Ssemwanga will soon be over when Malkia joins him but that might not be anytime soon if Zari's words are anything to go by. Zari says, Malkia is stuck in the US and can't travel to Africa for lack of papers.
This 45-year-old with no career but only good at hitting on men is no wife material, Zari noted a few days back.
And now, Malkia has retaliated with a salvo that has made Zari take a break from social media for a few hours.
In her message, Malkia says she won't put much of her attention on a p.o.r.nstar which is an absolute waste of time. All that Zari does is to search for sp.erm donors from different men, something she does for survival. In her salvo, Malkia reveals who the owner of the pregnancy is, it's for a one Katunzi.
Malkia concludes by warning Zari that if she continues with her nonsense, she will go ahead and unleash more of the sagging b.oobs surgery pics, s_e-x tape of when Ivan found her in prostitution plus the injection that makes Zari that light among others. More of that up there!!!
These two were once very close and used to complement each other, but for now, it's a tug-of-war. As the catfight progresses to n.asty scenes, Ivan is busy taking pics in his giant bed or next to a car of his choice...
'Mrs Dangote', is blessed with boys only, but today, she dropped the first hint she's expecting a baby girl. Zari revealed this following an exchange with Ivan's new catch, Malkia Wakichaga, who she has branded as a 45-year-old with no child or career except hitting on men (IVAN) who are only good at posting money pics on facebook.
Zari who is currently in TZ overseeing the final touches on Diamond Platnumz' 10TH house lost her cool, something she rarely does, but once you involve her children (soldiers), then you are sure to get the best of her.
Before revealing who the old momma was, Zari shared some very nice handbags on her wall saying they were available at her Garden City based store for those who may be interested.
She then unleashed..."Now ladies, if a man starts dating you and you in turn start attacking his baby mama, make sure you have a clean life. This fool who is stuck in the USA has no papers to return to Africa following a fight with her mom for dating her dad."
"I thought my kids could use a new maid/cleaner/nanny/chef from USA and here she is. Nothing close to baby mama, nothing close to mother material. Stay in ur lane and mind your own."
"Men choose wisely not everything is wife material or home makers," she concluded.
After sorting her rival, it was now time to share the amazing news, she revealed that anytime from now, she will be dropping a princess.
"Good morning fam while another is sharing their news of hooking up with a stripper/hooker as their latest catch, allow me to share my amazing news, It's a baby girl!!!!!
Zari cannot wait to deliver her bundle of joy. Meanwhile, she shared shots on her instagram page when she was at Diamond Platnumz 'State House' and while there, the award winning Tanzanian singer was feeding her...hmmm!!!
And while Zari is sleeping, all she looks at is a diamond sign with PLATNUMZ around it..
"I can't wait to have you on my hand chibu_junior," were the words of Diamond Platnumz when his better half, Zari, shared pics of the ultrasound scan tests confirming the pregnancy.
Yesterday was a Thursday, which in the world of social media means looking back fondly on favorite moments in the past and before Zari could go to bed, she shared three shots that brought out the flawless Zari of back then who was curvy, light and portable..
The pic had 1,500 facebook likes by this afternoon. Comments like you are the African queen, so pretty and the likes could not be missed in the comments section with the middle pic being voted as the best.
Those who did not know that Zari was only participating in the Throwback Thursday game hashtagged as #TBT were quick to ask about the pregnancy thinking these were latest pics, the mom of three just shot back;
"Everyone asking about the pregnancy go ask your mamas they r carrying it for me while am here having a time of my life. Some people tho olubuto olutalilulwo lukukwatilakowa? Damn peeps, focus on yours am minding mine!"
''Zari that was rude,'' One fan wrote, but in response to that, the socialite had this to say;
Nothing is wrong with me. Just sick and tired of people asking what's not their business! How exactly is the pregnancy beneficial to anyone? In what way seriously? Duh!"
The fans seem to want that bump that shows a strong healthy baby growing inside. The ultrasound scan pic above was taken when Zari was five weeks and now, it's just slightly above 2 months..
East African socialites, Zari Hassan and Huddah Monroe have lot's of businesses, known and unknown, but one of them is hosting events.
We all recall the Zari All White Party that was sold out last year at Guvnor, and just a few days back, Huddah Monroe did the same at Skylux Lounge in Nairobi, hundreds of revelers attended.
The two socialites have now teamed up to host 'The Art of Luxury' event that will take place on 21st March, 2015 at Skylux Lounge. This will certainly be a sell out too because the two socialites are crowd pullers.
Zari's tagline is Bosslady while Huddah's is Bosschick, could this be the reason Ivan's half brother, King Lawrence, hobnobbed with the two socialites, well, it has to be him to tell us more of that as the socialites were quick to shut him down. More of that here....King Lawrence VS. Huddah Monroe
Zari is now venturing into Kenya and before we know it, this also will become an annual event. In Tanzania, by default, Zari is known in all corners courtesy of her baby daddy to be, Diamond Platnumz. She also has strong links in Burundi now that some of her grand parents hail from there.
The tears she shed in Rwanda recently were enough to make her a darling there, so don't be surprised that talks to hold similar parties in those East African countries are underway.
She is yet to do the same to the world's youngest country, South Sudan.
Following the pic of Bongo Flavour star, Diamond Platnumz grabbing Zari's bu.tt last night, we now bring you some of the top comments which are from ladies but before that, this is what Zari says: "Zari this Zari that nio nio nio since when was your opinion valid? smh!!"
Patricia - "My first time commenting on here publicly and I'm blocking myself. We encourage stupid women to act dumb. There is nothing wrong with the way we live our lives but sometimes we go too far.
Zari please block me, at some point u inspired me but when I really opened my eyes I saw a little kid crying for attention and willing to get it in anyway possible.
At this point we follow you like a drama show but the respect is not there. I'm Guilty for that. I really admired your hard work and felt your pain with the last relationship but you are your own downfall. For you to post such pictures like you don't have sense or children."
Shabirah - "Most of you here be yapping about Zari's age but u look older than her. She might be a mother of junior boys but looks like she has never given birth....most of u mulinga katonda beyelabila...if she can get someone who is proud of her and not afraid of showing her in public; Don't hate, CONGRATULATE!!! She isn't the reason why your bu boyfriends or your daddy babies don't show u in public. Age is just a number and being a mother doesn't make her unattractive."
Natasha - @Zarinah Tlale i guess all your fans we're happy that u found real love.U deserve it.But i'll just say "a private life is a happy life".Dont share too much of your life with the public coz the same public will be your downfall.We love u n we want the best for u.
Martha - "What a shame, woman respect yourself.."
Brenda - of course making it public for everyone makes it a public thing.......live your life but keep your life more of personal....they wont talk nonsense but here you let them talk and hey bosses don't mind about that.....heads be high
It's is not Kanye grabbing Kim Kardashian, It's Diamond Platnumz grabbing our very own, Zari Hassan, the mom of three who is also pregnant.
"Miss you...oh before I forget, if you wanna use this to call me a bad mother. Go for it. Mothers are meant to be loved too," Zari wrote.
According to Zari's caption, being a mother does not stop the love from flowing, and right now, she is missing her boo and the best way of expressing it was to pull out one of those shots the couple took while they celebrated Valentine's day in Zanzibar.
Meanwhile, her now ex-husband, Ivan Semwanga has resorted to emulating former money bags, Mike Ezra..It should be recalled that the last time Mike Ezra displayed US$ 3m at Emin Pasha hotel, that was the last time we heard of him.
Zari spent the weekend chilling with friends while yachting in Cape town. She was clad in a short outfit that showed off her tanned skin and growing baby bump.
Zari has surely moved on and not about to look back. "Never let your past determine the outcome of your future. You deserve the absolute best and your past shouldn't hold you back," the mom of three tweeted a few days back.
The above statement is a clear indication that she is not about to let her previous relationship with the dad of the three children get into her way, she is having the very best of times with Tanzania's finest, Diamond Platnumz, and for now, they can't wait to have their chibubu junior.
Businessman, Jack Pemba, popular in Tanzania for his love of 'pouring money' when he likes an artist has relocated to Uganda.
He has branded the so called Rich Gang pawns in the game of money. He recently turned 42 and his birthday bash was held at Speke Resort Munyonyo. Fusion band entertained guests at the exclusive party.
Desire Luzinda also performed showing off her already known curves in a thigh high split slit outfit doing the Ekitone song which left the birthday boy nodding in approval.
It's not surprising that on Valentine's day, the two were together as Desire performed in Gulu. "When the storm is over that is when you realise God was washing away the filth in your life, " Desire tweeted.
Yesterday, some two babes were spotted cruising towards Entebbe in a navy blue ML CDI 270 with 'J Pemba' customized plates.
A quick search on Pemba returned with a 2010 article in Swahili stating that; "He had been arrested for allegedly getting over 344 million TZ shillings through fraud from Exim Bank of England..."
Zari has been taking good care of her three boys aka soldiers for a month now, but looks like their time is up and it's now time for the Zarimond project. The two lovers looked stunning in their islamic regalia last Friday.
Zari hails from Jinja and to-date, bicycles are still the in-thing when it comes to connecting within the town, and she loves them. Her on-and-off hubby, Ivan Ssemwanga, has done it before.
Yesterday, Diamond who knew this very well after trying to do a bit of background check shocked Zari when he approached her using a roadmaster, gali HERO.
The sight of Diamond Platnumz on a bicycle made Zari's heart melt. The two lovers have started from where they stopped and are moving hand in hand all over TZ, they are now in Songea city.
In Songea city, body guards were all over the couple and these were some of the comments from of our ladies;
"I will repeat this, Ugandan men learn from Platnumz how to handle women."
"I wish Ugandan men would learn how to be romantic and give a woman affection.."
Just the other day, she did her first ultrasound to reveal if the fetus was one or two and also to estimate the due date for delivery among others. Zari is six weeks pregnant.
This afternoon, she was watching over the other three soldiers, but evidently missing Diamond Platnumz and of course the pregnancy taking it's toll on her.
This is what King Lawrence posted a few minutes back regarding Zari's pregnancy. "The smile you put on when you find out that your ex is pregnant at 41." Interestingly, in all these developments, Ivan has been tight-lipped while King Lawrence does the talking.
A few days back, he appealed to Diamond Platnumz to give Zari a break so she can attend to her children, he even offered $40,000 to Platnumz if he honoured his request, moments later, Zari shared pics of her and the 3 soldiers 'chillaxing'.
Using her wall, Zari issued a statement saying that it's not true she had dumped the kids to have fun with Platnumz, it was Ivan's turn to take care of the boys.
This morning, news of Zari's ultra-scan details confirming that she is pregnant have been making rounds on social networks and Diamond can't wait to lay his hands on what he is terming as Chibubu Junior...
In a related development, Ivan, King Lawrence and ex-con Meddie Ssentongo were this morning signing a deal of sorts confirming that they will be having some dealings together, details of which could not readily be established.
The latest info from the Zarimond camp reveals that Ugandan socialite, Zari Tlale, is five weeks pregnant and the Bongo flavor star, Diamond Platnumz is all excited and so is Zari. The mom of three is wishing the baby could be a girl now that she is blessed with boys only from her on-and-off hubby, Ivan Ssemwanga.
"I can't wait to have you on my hand chibu_junior" Diamond wrote on his instagram profile after getting the good news, but the post was pulled down moments later, it had over 100 likes minutes after posting.
Could this be the Tanzania-Uganda project that Zari was talking about, may be yes! Zari and Diamond met in November and less than three months later, the first ultrasound scan is reporting positive news.
King Lawrence and Zari together? That's right! It's shocking bearing in mind that these two were having a serious exchange on facebook a few days back. Going by the above pic, it looks like Zari and King Lawrence are already back on good terms or it won't be long before they mend ties.
Zari and King Lawrence met today at the Rich Gang welcome party that was held at Fountain Valley Gardens in Pretoria. It was a picnic party sponsored by King Lawrence, Cheune and Zari's on-and-off hubby, Ivan Semwanga.
Days back, King leaked a whatsapp chat in which Zari was asking for big money and as it turned out, King gave her $5000 and on top of that hit it. Zari tried to label him as a driver to their college, but this just made matters worse, this was when he retaliated with these words; "Why did you give it to a faggot?"
During the fight, King revealed how he slept with Zari, the mother of Ivan's three soldiers.
Kenyan socialite, Huddah Monroe, was also dragged in the fight
Ivan Semwanga's cousin, King Lawrence, has continued with his kiss and tell games. When he attacked Zari, it was evident that he was on top of his game, so Zari decided to team up with the Kenyan boss lady, Huddah Monroe, who was in South Africa a few weeks back meeting King Lawrence.
King has now told whoever cares to know what transpired when Huddah Monroe went down south.
"Bitch you attacked me from nowhere and now you delete all the posts. You wanted a car, helped you fulfill your dream and then you repay me by dissing me. Broke bi_ch can't attack me.
Zari advised you wrongly. She is jealous of you because you are younger and more beautiful. That's why she advised you to attack me. Okay guys think about this, do you think these so called BossBi_ches buy business class tickets to fly abroad, book into expensive hotels and take pics of hotel beds themselves?
Can they even afford all this? Do they sleep in those beds alone? We are the ones who pay for all that. We are the one's behind the scenes funders. Do we do it for free? Not at all.
How do you get paid? Then you two Broke BossBi_ches gang on me. I'm sorry I used both of you. I can only apologize if you refund my money. You aren't role models, you are just Instagram Bi_ches. "
King Lawrence - "Aha ha ha ha ..............These Hoes are not Loyal - Check out @huddahthebosschick lame explanation after the second evidence that proves we spent 2 days not 2 hours together. Its funny how you take my money, attack me and deny me. Did we change clothes in 2 hours? Lol"
Following the bickering of King Lawrence and Zari, her ex lover, Farouk Sempala has come out spitting fire and this is what he had to say;
"A man who dates or marries a beautiful woman, shares the same problems as a man who plants his corn along the roadside.." Those are very strong words coming from Farouk at the time when King Lawrence told whoever cared to know that he had a thing with Zari after giving her $5000.
Meanwhile, info coming in reveals that Farouk Sempala has hooked another babe who incidentally happens to be a close friend to Zari. He has down played taht with claims that they are just buddies. "Vicky Drani is my tight and always will be, I'm so much entitled to female friends."
However, looking at how Diamond Platnumz and Zari started, it was a music project that they even had to go to studio to record their first song, did a video for it, but as it turned out, the video simply acted as a love portion for the two. It's unlikely that that video will see the light of day.
King Lawrence makes an offer of $40,000 to Diamond to drop Zari,
King shares screen shots of Zari asking him for money,
Platnumz should know that I hit it first.
Rich Gang crew member, King Lawrence, has shot back after Zari revealed that he was just a mere driver at their school who could even be fired.
King Lawrence had earlier accused Zari for not being there for her children and was all over Africa with Tanzania's finest, Diamond Platnumz.
Using his wall, King revealed that the Nataka Kulewa singer needs to know that he has hit the boss lady before, but also offered Diamond Platnumz $40,000 to leave Zari alone so that she can take care of her three sons.
Dating Zari should be one complicated aspect her lovers have had to deal with and as it turns out, King Lawrence , has also had a thing with Zari as he reveals in the above screen shots.
In one of them, Zari (who adds your in-law) is asking for real big money and not pocket change from King who she claimed in an earlier post was a mere driver. King follows it with a question; "Madam why did you supply your desert* to a faggot? Wonder if that boy knows that I hit it first."
Zari down played all this by saying they were hating on her because she is happy.
"Ma dude (Platnumz) needs a b***h too, that gay-eish thing of yours is not on point. Baby daddy (Ivan) failed to "wife" you all this time you've been fighting his battles, you think Diamond Platnumz will? So it's true, when they see you happy, they start hating more huh?"
Zari has this morning left for South Africa while Diamond Platnumz is in Nigeria.
Zari and Ivan's cousin, King Lawrence, are at it again.
"Chilling with Zari's son because his mom is D!ck Hopping all over Africa. It's the son's birthday, " King Lawrence wrote this afternoon. Hours later, ZARI revealed that King was recruited as a driver at their college in South Africa and at this rate, he risks being fired.
"If all drivers posted their boss' kids when asked to execute duties of dropping their boss' kids to some place, then the world would be some thing else.
Glad to have you on our Brooklyn City College pay roll as our part timer driver when you run broke, just don't abuse your work ethic code of conduct as an employee by posting my kids seeking attention from it.
Your job is to drop them when asked to do so as a driver. PERIOD!"
They first fought in 2013 when Zari split with Ivan over Sharon O, King photoshopped a 'Sharon O' number plate with claims that Ivan had bought Sharon O a Range Rover Sport. This did not go down well with Zari and her gals who decided to hunt down Sharon O, but she was arrested before laying her hands on Sharon O.
Zari's young brother, Karim (who accused Zari of dating Platnumz who is 9 years younger than her) tried getting bail for his sister but King LAWRENCE said; "Why even bother to get her out, leave her there, that's where she belongs."
Ivan has not had a smooth run from the time he was nabbed with ex BBA Housemate. It was then that Zari embarked on an open dating spree that saw her moving out with Isaac Lugudde aka LK4, Farouk Sempala and now Tanzania's finest Diamond Platnumz.
Blood is thicker than water, King Lawrence has stayed by Ivan's side at all times and will once in a while try to hit at Zari like it was today, but Zari is not about to take any of that BS!, She will hit back.
Diamond Platnumz' ex lover, Wema Sepetu, has said she has no problem with Diamond dating Zari.
"It didn't work out between us and I wish him all the best in his new relationship. They look good together," Wema said during a radio interview in Dar-es-Salaam.
Wema and Diamond had dated for over three years only to break up a couple of months back. Last September, the Bongo star bought Wema a brand new BMW as a birthday gift.
In the just concluded AFRIMA awards, Diamond Platnumz and Vanessa Mdee won the Best Male and Female Artistes in East Africa respectively, but Wema only congratulated Vanessa.
In her new year's message, she reveals that the year 2014 was quite an experience for her.
"Happy New Year my beautiful people, 2014 was quite an experience, went through a lot of things, had my ups and downs. I know I have learnt and for sure can't make the same mistakes I made earlier. God I pray for 2015 to be my year and I'm gonna make it my walk to remember."
Zari is right now in Kampala and will be heading to South Africa tomorrow while her boo, Diamond Platnumz is in Lagos for a performance at the GLO-CAF awards.
Zari has found the love of her life in Diamond Platnumz at least from her latest post; "No man on earth is perfect but when he shows effort in keeping you happy, acknowledge that."
They've been an item since November last year, and now, they are so close to the point that Zari has kept the Bongo flava star on a tight leash.
Any hot female that dared to get close to Diamond Platnumz would have it rough with the bouncers who were guarding the couple while on tour in Rwanda and Burundi.
"That look you pull when he smiles at someone you don't like. Smh!!....Good nyt and happy new week fam..... the hustle continues," Zari noted on her wall.
At this rate, Diamond Platnumz might have to get permission to do certain things like writing autographs, smiling to 'some fans' if Zari's latest post is anything to go by.
But with Platnumz increasing fame, Zari had better fasten her seat belt for this adventure.
Zari has dated many ranging from basket ball star, LK4, muscle man Farouk Sempala and of course the father of her three children, Ivan Ssemwanga, but none of them has given her the life she has been yearning for. Ivan was close to getting her that life when she cruised the first Lamborghini in Kampala.
However, the Diamond Platnumz experience has been the epitome of Zari's relationships. She is now known in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and of course, she needs no introduction in Uganda.
On hooking up with the Bongo Flavour star, Zari told his followers to get ready for the "Uganda, Tanzania project" and so far, the project has been unveiled in bits and pieces..
The project kicked off with a music video that was recorded in Tanzania (we're still waiting for the video), then Zari was in South Africa with Platnumz for the Channel O Awards. One of Zari's ex-lovers tried to sabotage the relationship by leaking a s#x tape on the net, but this did not stop her.
Next, it was the All White Party which to the surprise of many was a sell out to the extent that the doors to Guvnor were closed to the public.
The couple was recently in Burundi with Zari right by Diamond's side at all times only to crown off their journey in Rwanda where they ushered in the new year with a performance at The Expo Ground on 31.Dec and another on 01.Jan at the Amahoro Grounds.
While in Rwanda, they visited the Kigali Genocide Memorial where they explained to them the history of Rwanda and the genocide of Tutsi's in 1994. Zari could not help crying after watching a short video of the Tutsi massacre.
This was Zari before Diamond Platnumz came into the picture.
Top Tanzanian singer, Diamond Platnumz dumped his long time girlfriend, Wema Sepetu for Zari.
Muscle man Farouk Sempala is certainly not happy with the way his ex-lover Zari is doing her thing. The mom of three is now rocking the entire East Africa. Before the successful White Party, she met Diamond Platnumz after a short holiday in Zimbabwe and off they went to Tanzania. She left a mark there.
Just yesterday, they were in Burundi and now, the two are in Rwanda. However, after failing to rekindle his romance with Zari, Farouk Sempala, seems to be getting to terms with the fact that she is gone and not about to be back in his life. For example, during the White Party, Farouk opted on doing charity, he visited children in Mulago Hospital.
His latest post just confirms that he is not happy with what is going on between Zari and Diamond Platnumz.
"It's just natural for every village to produce two of it's finest products that's a village drunkard & a village fool.....The laws of natural justice fail to apply, only when one is both (The village's foolish drunkard). And when this kind is exported to urban settlement.....aaaaaaah kiyitilira. Because this is when the village surely misses.... it's ediot."
In his words, he seems to suggest that Zari is missed in Jinja where she hails from as she is busy rocking East and South Africa.
On the other hand, Zari still maintains that; "This is the most Misunderstood project to go down in 2014." One fan, Trina Tina shot back saying that you stole Platnumz from Wema and you are seen kissing all the time and you say it's a misunderstood project?
Lovers, Zari and Diamond Platnumz, have just touched down in Rwanda where they will spend the new year's eve. "Damn I cannot wait to spend my New Year's eve here," Diamond noted on his wall.
Diamond was having performances in Burundi with Zari by his side to ensure all was well. On Dec 18, 2014, Diamond Platnumz was the headlining act at Zari's All White Party which was a sell out, since then, the two have not looked back.
Fans across East Africa are busy telling Diamond Platnumz to go back to his lover, Wema Sepetu, as opposed to dating Zari who is nine years older and a mom-of-three, but the Number One singer is terming that as nonsense !!!
Meanwhile, looking at Zari's past lovers, she has always been the one dumping and when the time for the Bongo flavour star is up, she will dump the young man. However, one thing is for sure, Diamond is enjoying the cougar from all corners and for now patiently waiting to usher in the new year Zari style.
It was full house at the Rich Gang party last night at Liquid Silk in Bugolobi. Just like Zari and Diamond, the Rich Gang (Ivan, his cousin, King Lawrence, Meddie and Cheune) were chauffeured to the venue in a limousine.
WBS and NTV were among the TV stations covering the party that saw the Rich Gang dish out money. As expected, many were trying to get close to the crew to have some of the pocket change. Highlights of the party can be watched on TV programs like NTV Login by Robin Kisti.
At around midnight, Ivan declared the bar open and all tribes of booze were flowing endlessly. The Ugandan boss lady, Zari was invited but she was a no show and so was the headlining guest, Huddah Monroe, she was no where to be seen.
Meddie Ssentongo was part of the Rich Gang crew after replacing Katsha who failed to measure up financially. Katsha was spotted at Club Amnesia hanging out with Bebe Cool.
The Ekitone singer, Desire Luzinda was one of the artistes who performed but with her, Ivan was forced to change the currency to dollars. Other notables at the party included; Ragga Dee, Moze Radio, Eddy Kenzo and Jose Chameleone among others.
"The party was most ___ up party, thing was too full, fights everywhere, like Kalerwe material, I expected some class or better still, they should have put a limit on the number of people because the turn up was high, to me, this was the worst party ever," one who attended the party wrote.
Liquid Silk's Elvis Sekyanzi at the Rich Gang's press conference and looking on is King, Ivan and Cheune.
It's that time of the year when you expect drama, drama and more drama.
King Lawrence, Cheune and Ivan Semwanga are Ugandans based in South Africa though right now, they are in the country for the festive season.
This year, they are branding themselves as the Rich Gang and tonight, they will be holding their Made of Money, Rich Gang Spenders Party at Liquid Silk in Bugolobi. Entry fee is 35,000/- and they promise an open bar, though, those who attended their welcome party at Club Rouge waited in vain for the open bar to kick off. Desire Luzinda will be one of the entertainers.
Yesterday, the Rich Gang crew held a press conference to clear rumours that the party had been cancelled. However, Katsha was visibly missing and yet he has always been part of the earlier arrangements. "To be part of the gang, one must have shs1bn," Ivan Ssemwanga noted. "Katsha did not have the financial muscle to be part of the group," King Lawrence added.
Later in the day, the Rich Gang members were hosted live on NTV The Beat.
Some insider sources claim that Katsha was kicked out because he attended the now billed successful Zari White Party" which the other three boycotted, besides, they now want their Spenders Party to rival Zari's.
Trust Katsha, last year, he came up with the Sushi party and now he had teamed up with the boys for the Rich Gang party but on being fired, he has resorted to taking shots of himself with shoes that he says will be left behind at the end of the holiday.
The Zari Ciroc All White Party is still the talk of the town after being sold out. It was held on Thursday at Guvnor with all guests clad in white outfits. Ivan was in town but boycotted the party for obvious reasons, he was only being briefed on the party proceedings by colleagues.
Initially, many thought this year's party would not take place now that Ivan, the main sponsor had pulled out, but to his and Zari's surprise, this has been billed as the best White Party ever.
"I was truly touched and honored by your overwhelming support. I am sorry to those of you who couldn't get in when it was declared a full house... Thank you once again," Zari wrote.
Zari has every reason to be grateful, so many events were taking place that night starting with the Five Star Madness comedy show and Imperial Royale, The Arab Money party at Cayenne and of course Chameleone's One Million show at Serena but none of them matched Zari's when it came to numbers.
Ivan was yesterday at Club Rouge looking stressed but like he normally does, an open bar was declared. On December 23, 2014 it will be the Rich Gang Party at Liquid Silk and Kenya's socialite, Huddah Monroe will be joined by other South African based big spenders like ED Cheune, King Lawrence and Katsha.
Part time singer and socialite, Zari Hassan, is all smiles after having a sold out White Party yesterday. At some point, the doors to the posh night spot, Guvnor, had to be closed as it was fully packed. It's the first white party that has had guests locked out due to a sell out.
The couple (D&Zee) arrived at the venue in a white limousine. Among the notables missing from the party this year was Ivan Semwanga, Zari's on and off hubby. It should be noted that he has always been sponsoring this event but this time around, it was Ciroc and Guvnor who were the main sponsors.
Ivan jetted into the country on Wednesday night but that evening, Zari and Platnumz were hosted on NTV The Beat where she apologized to the Nation for the leaked s3x tape. The show host, Douglas, went on to ask her about Ivan and this was her response; "I'm not sure if he was coming or not but at this time of the year, he is always in the country."
Meanwhile, before coming on air at the NTV studios, D&Zee went to the washrooms just to ensure they were all glammed up for the cameraz but instead, it was kisses-n-hugs and a bit of swahili lines of 'Iko vzuri' while there. Yesterday, as the two left their hotel room, they all looked worked up, but Platnumz was on duty and had to deliver, not forgetting, this was his first time to perform in Uganda.
Jose Chameleone was able to join them after performing at his One Million Show that was held at Serena Hotel, the First Lady was the chief guest.
These ushers ensured there was constant flow of the ultra premium drink, Ciroc
Nasibu Abdul Juma aka Diamond Platnumz will be in the country this afternoon for his girl friend's show, The Zari All White Ciroc Party, that will be taking place at Guvnor tomorrow.
"Kampala, Uganda, your boy is on his way for the Zari All White Party, " He wrote on his instagram profile this morning.
Entry fee is 30k and all guests must be clad in white outfits. It's on this day that Chameleone's One Million Charity show will be held and also the Arab Money party....The belly dancer for the Arab party is also already in town.
Meanwhile, a few hours back, the Tanzanian Bongo flavour star was spotted heading to the airport for his flight to Kampala. Trust him, he always moves with his mom. During the Channel O Awards, he was in the company of his mom and of course his boo, Zari, who helped him carry around the three awards that he won.
Over the weekend, he was in Mombasa for the Jamhuri concert but the police lead car that cleared his way was so fast that at some point, it was a problem to other motorists.
Zari jetted into the country on Monday after failing to do so earlier, of course for obvious reasons, the tape. The mom of three has ensured that a proper security detail is in place for her slighlty younger 'good friend' who will be the headline artist at the Zari White Party.
Last minute shopping for white outfits, Garden City based Zari Jewels could be your solution.
#BringBackOurMbs is one of the hashtags trending on social media right now. Initially, we thought they were complaining about the recent network problems with Mobile Telecommunication Network (MTN) that forced the telecom giant to refund millions of lost airtime. Over 700M was refunded.
Analysing the problem further, the #BBOM hashtag was about Zari's leaked tape which they claim was a waste of their MBs. One radio personality who watched the clip had this to say:
"Okay seen the video. It's Zari, alright. They appear to be having Skype s€x, and the dude was filming what was showing on the computer screen on his end. She was using a vibrator. Dude was probably je.r.king off (though of course we couldn't see but it sounded like he was). In short... pathetic video.#Bringbackour11mbs"
Zari has issued a statement well written by a lawyer, but it's amazing how in the statement she constantly reminds her fans, friends and followers of the forthcoming White Party. It's not clear why it had to get to this because, the main parties taking place on that day (Dec 18) are different and by virtue of the entry fees, they are bound to attract different aundiences.
Chameleone's show is 1M/-, Zari's is 30K, so both parties will have revellers by default. The Arab Party in Bukoto has also brought in a belly dancer with a sword, again this also attracts a totally different following from Zari's All White Party, so if this was a deliberate move, it has fallen short of it's intended objective.
Preparations for the Zari All White Party are in high gear and Zari's 'good friend', Diamond Platnumz, has also confirmed he will be in Kampala on December 18, 2014. He is the guest artist for the white party.
However, this morning, MTN aka Gonya Zirya Ki and other networks noticed some bit of traffic as one of Zari's yet-to-be identified ex-lover leaked her tape. The tape was doing rounds on social networks. It should be recalled that around this time last month, Desire's tape had been trending for a week..it took her two weeks to respond.
It has taken Zari just hours to respond and from her response, she is considering taking legal action against the perpetrators, detractors and publishers behind the tape.
"I would like to affirm that what goes on in my private life is absolutely my business that has no reason whatsoever to find it's way in the public realm. Privacy to/for/of a person is not a right granted by anyone, but it's inalienable..." Zari wrote on her wall.
Zari is now browsing her x-files to find out who this X could be.."I'm not bothered..life goes on. Exs gotta stay exs and stop doing things for revenge," Zari tweeted. Farouk, LK4 and Ivan Semwanga are some of Zari's lovers/ex-lovers and currentlly, she is close to Tanzania's Diamond Platnumz.
Responding to a post by Karim (Zari's young brother), who seems to be disturbed by his BIG sister dating someone as young as him.
In his post yesterday, Karim wrote: "You are ashaming us, how can you date a boy my age. You moved from one man to another in less than 3 days."
Zari was quick to respond though she maintained that it was not Karim behind that post. "Diamond is just a friend of mine. It's never been written that female and male can't be friends, it's just the backward people that use that kind of perspective to blow things out of proportion."
Wema Sepetu, Diamond Platnumz lover is equally not happy with the 'business' between Zari and her better half, the same way Karim has decided to shout it out.
Zari is nine years older than Diamond Platnumz but the two have been cozy lately, something many treat as unusual. Zari had reunited with Ivan after dumping Farouk, but like her brother puts it, ''from one man to another in 3 days'', she is now with Diamond Platnumz.
The Tanzanian Bongo Flavor star has already introduced Zari to his mom. Platnumz, his mom and Zari took photos at the awarding event in South Africa.The couple was last cited at the Channel O Music Video Awards where Platnumz made Tanzania proud by taking home three awards.
These are some of the responses from Zari's sister, Ashurah and King Lawrence who happens to be more than a brother to Zari's on and off hubby, Ivan ssemwanga.
Tanzania's Bongo flavour star, Diamond Platnumz, won big in last night's Channel O Music Video Awards (CHOMVA14). He took home three awards that include; Most Gifted New Comer for his 'Number One' song beating South Africa's Cassper Nyovest and others.
The Number One song again won him the award of 'Most Gifted Afro Pop' running over the likes of Davido, Mafikizolo, Flavour and Iyanya.
As if that was not enough, the Number One song, again won him yet another award 'Most Gifted East', a category which could have been taken by either Eddy Kenzo or Navio but we lost out. Eddy was riding on the Sitya Loss ticket while Navio was nominated for his No Holding Back song, but 'our in-law' was more than determined to take all the categories in which he was nominated.
Unfortunately for Platnumz , he lost the biggest award of the night to Cassper who beat eleven others that include; Davido, K.O, Tiwa Savage, Burna Boy among others.
Meanwhile, at the awarding event, Platnumz was in the company of his mom and his new found love, Zari baby who is by the way 9 years older, but she is 'hotter than them' just like her song when she tried singing. Hmmmn Zari says that they have a project coming up with Diamond Platnumz, but not even Wema Sepetu is buying that talk, she has now resorted to fighting the mom of three; Wema and Diamond Platnumz Clash Over Zari
After showing Diamond Platnumz so much love, he is now the headlined guest at the Zari All White Party that will be held on December 18, 2014. Initially, we were being told there will be a surprise guest, but now not a surprise guest anymore, but Tanzania's top artiste will be here in December.
In May this year, Platnumz set a record when he won 7 awards in the Tanzania Music Awards and in the just concluded Channel O Music Video Awards, it was only him and Cassper Nyovest who got three awards each.
Lovers, Wema Sepetu and Diamond Platnumz, are in a fight of sorts following the latter's closeness to South Africa based Ugandan socialite, Zari Hassan Tlale.
On December 18, 2014, Kampala revellers will have three parties to attend, but one of them costs an arm and a leg. To attend Chameleone's 'One Million Show', you will have to part with 1M/- UGX and the other two parties (Arab Money + Zari All White Party) are pretty much affordable.
It should be recalled that a few weeks back, as Zari was making her way to TZ, she met Diamond Platnumz on board and one thing led to the other...soon the two were all over each other and even when they got to TZ, it became worse. More of that here; Zari and Diamond Platnumz An Item
Wema Sepetu has now put her weight behind Jose Chameleone following the steamy kisses Zari had with Wema's lover, Diamond Platnumz in TZ a few weeks back. In her post on Instagram, Wema says she has never been to Kampala, but she will come just to grace Chameleone's show.
On the other hand, Diamond Platnumz has continued promoting Zari's All White party on his profiles. Negotiations are still on for the Tanzanian singer to be the surprise guest artist at the White Party, we hope another war won't break out.
It all started when Farouk traveled a few days back to a place he did not disclose...though, some sources indicate that he had gone to South Africa to try and work things out with Zari.
Looks like things did not work out as planned, but trust him, he never runs out of options, he has now switched to the US where a one Julia Kawalya (31) is very quickly being added onto his list at least as revealed from a leaked phone call.
In the phone conversation which is suspected to be leaked by either of them, Farouk is planning on relocating to the US. It starts with Julia and Farouk talking about what Zari lost by falling out with the muscle man.
Farouk is heard requesting for Julia's pic similar to that of Desire Luzinda..but Julia is reluctant and adds that she is a Muganda woman who was taught to guard her stuff and not just expose it fwaaaa!!
"By the way, let me ask you something..why do guys equate making love to falling in love? Women are the reverse, they want to hear and then the physical comes later, "Julia asked. Farouk's response was not clear as he had now lowered the pitch of his voice to a husky one.
In the 15 min conversation, the two kept on complimenting each other and Julia telling him of how she will be very happy when he eventually joins her in the US.
"By the way Farouk, It's so cold this side..it's going to be a bad winter, I think I'm freezing," Julia said. "The better, I will come and warm you and also cover you up," Farouk responded.
But before going off the line, Julia demanded that Farouk forwards the first copy of his passport to her official fax line so that she starts on the visa process which is rather lengthy. You needed to hear the accent Farouk used as he was trying to save the fax details, it was as though he was already in Uncle Sam's land.
Zari spent last weekend in Harare and this one was spent in Tanzania. While making her way to Tanzania, she met Bongo flavour star Diamond Platnumz on board and very quickly the two swapped seats with other passengers to enjoy each other's company. Champagne got the best of them to the point of taking pics with their tongues out.
While on board, a number of issues were discussed including her All White Party...It was not long when she realised that oh yes she can sing or has sang before..this is when the plan for a collabo was hatched. The two hit studio and in her own words she says;
"Thank you Diamond Platnumz for this opportunity. Africa get ready for our new project #Uganda, #Tanzania." We can't wait.
Zari and the Nataka Kulewa singer then went to Double Tree Hotel in Dar-es-Salaam where they enjoyed a cool breeze while sipping white wine in the sun...This is not going down well with Diamond Platnumz girl friend, Wema Sepetu (Miss Tz 2006), but Zari seems to be unstoppable.
At this point one fan noted; "Since her rich baby daddy left her, took the kids - she's been on a prowl! So Diamond is a fair game as far as she is concerned."
Meanwhile, Forbes will want to hear from Zari. Soon, you might see Zari being featured in the list of top East African socialites, if at all that category exists. Just like beauty contests, you are supposed to audition and when you don't, you should not be shocked with the outcome.
Forbes is NOW contacting Zari for her story so if she accepts and it is worth featuring on their space, Zari could be appearing on the Forbes Lifestyle Magazine one of these days, don't say we didn't warn you...!
Back to the Diamond Platnumz issue, Zari wrapped it up with this line; "Don't live your life enslaved by guilt, you must do what is right for you even if other people have problem with it #Diamonds#mummy fabulous self"
Socialite Zari Tlale Hassan (34) is in talks with Tanzania's Bongo flavour star, Diamond Platnumz, who she met on a plane enroute to her next destination after spending three days in Harare.
While on board, Zari talked about a number of things, her lifestyle and of course her holiday in Harare. The mom of three did not leave out the mother of all parties, 'The Zari All White Ciroc Party' that will be held on December 18, 2014. Could Diamond Platnumz be the surprise guest artiste? May be yes, now that they are in talks.
It was not long before she leaned on the star discussing many other business dealings in swahili. Diamond Platnumz, real name, Nasib Abdul Juma (25) is a Bongo flavour recording artist from Tanzania.
Zari was among those who were comforting Desire Luzinda over her leaked photos that went viral for the last seven days. "I'm behind you with love from South Africa," Zari wrote on Desire's Instagram profile. Using her facebook profile. Desire apologized for the leaked photos saying that her jilted lover breached the trust.
Zari's on and off hubby, Ivan Semwanga has once again undergone a plastic surgery operation. It looks like the operation he did 14 months back did not offer the desired results forcing him to do it again. It has cost him approximately shs 100m.
The last time he did it, his wife Zari was dating ex-big brother and basket ball star, Isaac Lugudde aka LK4, Zari was deeply, madly in love with his albs. Like any other couple, things did not work out, but LK4 had quenched his thirst anyway.
Ivan has again gone for the surgery to try and work on his fat belly and also reduce on the breasts. This is coming at the time after Zari has just dumped her latest lover, Farouk Sempala, better known as the muscle man. Farouk dated Zari longer than LK4.
Given that background, it's not surprising to see how hard Ivan is trying to achieve a body closer to LK4 or Farouk. However, it's not clear if his efforts will pay off because as he is recuperating from the operation, nutritional drinks are right by his bedside.
We only hope this time around, the efforts pay off, otherwise sooner rather than later, we could see him doing another operation.
Farouk Sempala has been off facebook from the time of his break-up with Zari, but he only resurfaced hours after Zari bouncing back to Ivan, the father of her three sons.
"The inner intention matters most than the action it'self. We standby & defend those we believe in, doesn't matter how harshly or lightly they are gona be judged in the others eyes.." Pharouk noted on his wall this morning.
Pharouk is ever-calm and has always been so. We all remember when he received a call from Ivan's boys who were warning him to leave Zari or he will have it rough, but in his response, he was so humbled to the extent that the callers saw no point of continuing with hurling insults.
We hope this time around Zari stays a little longer. This means that Ivan will attend and support the Zari All White Party that will be held on December 18, 2014 at Guvnor.
After her split with Farouk Sempala last month, Zari and Ivan are back together. This was widely expected with Zari's forthcoming All White Party, many were certain that she could not pull it off without Ivan's involvement.
In the leaked pics, the couple is seen enjoying a moment together with Ivan loving every bit of it. Zari is so drunk that she can barely stand on her own. ''It's been long since these two were last spotted this close, " one noted.
Earlier on, Ivan had also hooked another babe who is as light as Zari, but with Zari bouncing back to reclaim what is hers, Pubeza will have to sort herself out as these two rekindle their love.
"I'm now waiting for Mr. Right, " were her words when she broke up with Farouk, could Ivan be Mr. Right, only time will tell most especially after the White Party on December 18, 2014.
Basket ball star, Isaac Lugudde aka LK4 has turned 30 and among the first people to comment on his timeline was none other than his ex-lover, Zari the boss lady. Zari is single and loving it and now that the two are in South Africa, she could easily end up at LK4's birthday bash.
"Happy birthday. May you live to blow 100 candles, " Zari wrote on LK4's timeline.
Isaac still has fond memories of their time together. He once told of how the socialite is a tigress in bed. Zari has since bounced back to the father of her kids, Ivan and then dated Farouk Sempala, but split a few weeks back. She is now searching for Mr. Right.
In a related development, she was on Monday celebrating her 34th birthday with just a handful of friends, but the simplicity of the function got tongues wagging with many wondering how she could only invite five people when previous parties were always flooded with revellers.
They went on to say that it was Ivan funding those parties but now that he was sidelined, he turned off the taps. This rubbed her the wrong way, and using her facebook profile, she hit back (Zari Hits Back On Fake Birthday Talk).
Zari turned 34 on (Sep 23) and all she said was; "Am so overwhelmed by the bday wishes I got today both on my timeline and inbox. Thank you so much for the love you have shown me on this 34th year I've spent on earth. Words can't explain how I feel, Thank You and God bless you all."
This got a few tongues wagging as there was no mention of a birthday bash that would have free champagne flowing all night long as it has been the case before. Some were quick to link the sudden change of events to the fall out with her ex-lover, Ivan Semwanga who is now dating Pubeza.
On Sep 29, Zari who is currently in South Africa quickly succumbed to pressure and came up with an impromptu party that had a handful of guests, women only, numbering about four plus her sister, Ashurah. Other than the Versace birthday cake, it was just a mere drink up and way below the standards of 'Zari The Boss Lady'.
This got keyboards and smart phones busy more so at the time when Ivan was equally making headlines with his new catch, Zari was left with no choice but to reach out to all those worrying about her with these words;
"A bunch of...... ma bad, I meant certain people took time out of their miserable pathetic lives and decided to give opinions on how I shld live my life, raise my kids, what type of men I shld date, what cars I shld drive since what I drive is a show off (ladies who doesn't wanna pull up in cars like mine) .... ladies the last I checked this life is for ZEE not you. The month just ended which one of my bills are you paying? See, your opinions clearly are yours to keep.. you shld worry why your worried about me who is doing far much better than yall.."
The Zari White Party will be held on Dec 18, It's left to be seen if Ivan and Pubeza will grace the Arab Money party or Chameleone's One Million show that will be held on the same day.
As you may be aware, Zari's ex-lover, Ivan Semwanga has replaced her with a yet-to-be identified babe. Ivan with his close buddy, King Lawrence and the new babe were on Saturday spotted at KONG, a top South African style night club in JHB, Gauteng. Quick stats indicate that the only thing the two share in common is the skin complexion.
Ivan has previously been linked to several babes that include; Zari (mom of his three sons), Nickita, Sharon O, Doreen Komuhangi among others.
Zari long moved on. She has been dating Farouk Sempala, but the two split recently when Zari landed on flirtation messages on Farouk's WhatsApp profile. He has since been forced off facebook.
On the other hand, Ivan has been watching that space with hopes that the 'Gigoli' as he fondly refers to his rival (Farouk) will drop his gorgeous babe, but this has not come to pass, Farouk is instead working on rekindling their love.
Zari's ex-lover, Ivan Ssemwanga has yet again hooked another light skinned babe. He has a penchant for light babes, but this new catch is a double package, blessed with huge center folds. The couple were spotted whispering sweet nothings to each other, with Ivan looking smitten.
Matters of love can be complicated at times. Zari dumped Ivan after several years of dating. They have 3 children together, but that was not enough to let them ride on the same horse. She went on to hook the muscle man, Farouk Ssempala, but they also split a few days back citing issues of infidelity.
Chameleone tried re-uniting Zari and Ivan but all that came out of this was a mere peck. Realizing that the mom of his three soldiers as they refer to them is not about to come back, Ivan has gone ahead to hook up this babe whose complexion reminds him more of Zari.
Should Ivan wait a little longer for Zari to return to his life or he is fit to go with his latest catch?
On Tuesday, Zari turned 34 and over the weekend, she will be hosting her close pals to a sumptuous birthday treat.
However, that was not enough to save her from landing in the Gossip Queen's 'jaws'. Zari found herself on Luswata's show once again after sharing a piggy pic branded as ML on her wall with this caption; "Was passing by and saw her lol....waving."
The five-minute-show was way too stuffed with the Hady-Roger message (Roger does not date bleached and uneducated women) and the new Obsessions members who were advised to go and work on their looks, she also smuggled in the Zari clip which according to her could not wait.
She first warned her viewers that on the Zari clip, she will go a bit personal now that she had been equated to that ka-pig.
"Zari, this picture that you posted sort of reminds me of you as you have a lot in common with this 'jamma' in terms of complexion, so it looks more of you as opposed to me. But you know Zari, you're so boring and at times I don't even like to pick fights with you because your intellect levels are so low."
"I can't fight with a woman, a middle aged bimbo, It's very draining for me. I pick fights with people who can challenge me at intellectual level but you, you can't even communicate in English, how I'm I supposed to fight with you. And at this age, what you should be doing is taking care of yourself, because you know, you are paid for s#x at this age and you are not yet as old as some people I know, but you are already paying for s#x, imagine what it will be like five years from now, you will be spending a little more money."
My advise is that you should invest your time in things that bring you money and when you get to a point where you are have to spend a little bit more on your sex boys, go to the Gym.
She concludes with a joke about Kim Kardashian; "For Kim Kardashian, it can be like a rap concert but for Zari, you can have like a UN conference because at least many have passed there and you can have a UN summit on Ebola just down there."
Zari's latest tweet seems to suggest the muscle man is sorry for whatever happened and has apologized.
"Everyone will hurt you. You just need to find that special someone who knows how to apologize and make it up to you when they have hurt you. If she falls asleep in your arms, it doesn't mean she's bored. It means she's comfortable. Nyt fam"
Farouk is made up of a calm personality, and it's no surprise that he is the special someone Zari is referring to as you can see, she fell asleep in his chest. This is coming at a time after Farouk received a call from Ivan's camp.
The call lasted about eight minutes purpotedly from Ruth Kalule's lover. All sorts of words, insults, abuses were used, but Farouk kept calm and politely attended to the call. Ruth Kalule is the reason for Farouk-Zari's latest woes.
In the phone call to Farouk, the caller tells him to leave Ruth or else he will have it rough. How much do women pay you to be their 'Gigoli', Do you know how long we've been with Ruth? You don't even have 40 rands and you are here hawking your di@k on facebook.
Empty tins make a lot of noise, Farouk shot back. The caller assured Farouk that should he go to South Africa, they will hunt him down, this was when Farouk politely asked him if he was done so that he does not engage his cell phone anymore, but the caller just kept on abusing the muscle man, who was cool all the way.
Of all the women, you think I can love Ruth, Farouk asked, the caller together with another person (laughing) in the background told him that; You are busy taking selfies of yo weapon and displaying it on facebook for all to see, you pala!, can my wife even bring you to Europe?
If you guys are in the bar, I would suggest you sober up and then call back so that we can talk, Farouk concluded.
The juggling of Europe and rands, the accent, the Gigoli bit let alone the topic of discussion in the phone chat speak volumes. It should be recalled that Farouk is dating Zari, who has been in a relationship of over ten years, so, somewhere some how, someone is not happy. Farouk knows it all and, once in a while, he expects such phone calls anyway.
"When a guy gets protective over you I swear that eish right there is dope. I think it's super adorable, intruders get your level, " were Zari's words two days back and now just hours after splitting;
"Stress comes from trying to maintain a positive attitude in the midst of negative people. God didn't give me the spirit of fear & you're not going to give me your spirit of negativity. Mistakes make you wiser, heartbreak makes you stronger, & wrong turns often take you to the right place. It all serves a purpose. Sometimes bad things bring about good change..sometimes little decisions alter the big picture."
Just in case you are not aware, Zari and Farouk are no more. The couple split yesterday and Ruth Kalule, Farouk's other gal is the reason behind their splitting. Zari is now waiting for the right man "This is a blow, I trusted him you know, I thought he could be different but you all men are crap. But I have faith, my guy is out there somewhere, he will come the right time."
Zari dated basket ball player , Isaac Lugudde aka LK4 at the time she was still with Ivan Semwanga, the father of her three sons. She put an LK4 tattoo on her upper thigh just to prove her love for him but things did not work out. She then bounced back to Ivan before hooking the muscle man, Farouk Ssempala. They've been together for 10 months.
Chances are, she will be bouncing back to Ivan now that on September 6, the couple kissed during Chameleone's show in South Africa. It should also be recalled that the Zari White Party is around the corner and Zari needs the funds, so this really left Farouk with limited options but being chucked.
It all started with a simple peck between Ivan and Zari during Chameleone's show in South Africa on September 6. This did not go down well with Farouk who is also on holiday down South. The muscled man went on to ask the mom of three why she had to even get that close to her ex, Ivan Semwanga.
One thing led to the other but before they could even settle that, Zari was being confronted by a Ruth Kasule, a 20-year-old who is also in a relationship with Farouk. When tasked to explain about the Ruth Affair, Farouk denied having any relationship with her.
Zari had to place a conference call, so that the three (Zari, Farouk and Ruth) can acquaint themselves with the details. Farouk continued to deny, but Ruth was forced to share Whatsapp messages clearly detailing the dealings between them. In the phone chat, you could hear the muscled man talking as though he had been scrapped off his muscles in a polite manner asking Ruth where, when and how he made a move on her!
It was not long before Ruth's nud# pic started doing rounds on social networks. This did not bother Ruth in anyway, because she said; "What will they gain, and Zari what picture is Farouk giving you about himself exposing women?. He has a daughter and you are both parents..."
After proving beyond reasonable doubt that Farouk had had a flirt with Ruth, she went on to throw in the towel. "This is a blow, I trusted him you know, I thought he could be different but you all men are crap. But I have faith, my guy is out there somewhere, he will come the right time."
Ivan Ssemwanga has been forced to again take down his known facebook pages. This follows a pic he got off the internet and claimed it was his latest penthouse.
Being the only man to bring a Lamborghini to the dusty streets of Kampala, what he does or says can easily pass, but this time around, he was busted.
Sharing a downloaded pic of living room ideas with a plasma on his wall, Ivan claimed it was his new penthouse in Capetown attracting several likes, comments and shares in the process.
One of his followers asked him to consider giving the house to the organisers of Big Brother Africa, now that they are busy looking for an alternative house after being hit with a devastating fire.
Ivan is now into hiding. Somehow, this strategy had worked well for him because, he had actually managed to shift the attention from Farouk who is busy feasting on his wife left and right to his long list of 'assets'.
Meanwhile, before that, he had just shared an Escalade 2014 model, and later another posh ride claiming his close buddy had just added that to his fleet, but with the latest developments, no doubt these are all fakes just like it was for the penthouse.
Zari's ex-lover, Isaac Lugudde aka LK4 had planned to complete his apartments in six months. He had hoped that by May 2014 the apartments will be complete, but It's August and the residential flats are yet to be completed. It should be noted though that good progress has been made.
The Polokwane Trailblazers basket ball star attributes the delay to high costs of building materials, running out of money and in the nutshell, he says building has never been easy. "I was to complete 4U Apartments by May 2014 but this thing is hard and costly! Between the weather, inflated costs of building materials, running out of money, surpassing the budget, building isn't easy."
"I'm beyond stress, but it's good to be back to see the progress, though it's slow. My cousins house puts this project to shame, he knows who he is ! Lol." LK4 is based in South Africa.
This is coming at the time when the organizers of Big Brother Africa, M-Net and Endemol SA, were forced to cancel the launch of season 9 due to a devastating fire on the Big Brother House. The reality show was to be launched this Sunday, but now called off and the search for an alternative house is underway.
Of the previous housemates, LK4 and Gaetano Kaggwa seem to be doing extremely well courtesy of the Big Brother exposure.
"To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others." Those were Zari's words as she shared shots of her white lingerie and cream 'beads' rolling all the way...!
Could this be part of her White Party campaign, may be not, but now that the annual party is around the corner who knows. "This is my Queendom, woke up like this, flawless," she concluded.
Looks like her fans will be treated to more of her body than the new model rides she used to flaunt back in the days. White will be the dresscode for her white party that will be held on December 18, 2014 at Guvnor. For more of the white clothing trend and lingerie, you can check out Zari Jewels at Garden City basement on Yusuf Lule road.
South African based flaunting queen, Zari Hassan was able to chat up with her ex-hubby Ivan Semwanga at their son's birthday bash. Pinto is their first born, he turned 11 on Aug 07, 2014.
He demanded for a slumber party also known as a sleepover party, his parents did not disappoint, they did just that. The three-day-party ended on Saturday.
''Being in a limo and drinking wine,'' Pinto noted on his instagram while communicating to his other friends who could not make it for the bash.
Rumours were spreading like a wild fire that she had returned to Ivan, but Zari was quick to issue a statement to dispel any rumours about her reuniting with Ivan; "We are very ok and happy. Clearly where does it state I broke up with Farouk coz he is broke or coz of the White Party..... We are ok and very much together."
"As for Ivan, he has every right to attend any of his kids functions, soccer games, B-Day parties, school events you name it, he has a right to be there. Our relationship differences does not make any of us less of parents. We still execute our duties as parents like expected."
Meanwhile, Farouk is not happy with this development. He has even gone into facebook hibernation, just to confirm that all is not well.
The birthday boy who uses statements like 'It's my dad's lamborghini, but it's my mom who drives it' gave the parents time to catch up on a few things as he went playing with his peer group.
Leila Kayondo has joined the long list of local stars with visible head, neck and face tattoos. The Sweetie Sweetie singer had her neck inked about a week back.
It's a case of ex-flames avoiding each other. Tonight, Ivan Semwanga will be among the revellers gracing the Versace night at Club Venom. The dress code is world class labels. On Wednesday, Ivan was spotted at Club Venom on a serious hunt for hot babes.
When the news got to Zari that her ex, Ivan was around, she did not wait but get onto the next flight to SA, of course to avoid drama. Somehow, drama follows Zari wherever she goes and it was not long when an airport security screener tried taking $1,200 from her bag without permission as she narrates.
"The security lady at the desk figitated inside my hand bag and removed my jewelry and make up kit. She tried to distract me by asking me to open the kit while she folded $1200 from my inside zip pocket of the handbag. She folded the money and tried to push it inside her jacket sleeve around the wrist."
"I suspected what she was about to do the minute she tried distracting me by opening my make up kit. As the confrontation began, the guy officer next to us asked me not to cause a scene which to me was like asking me to 'get loud ' yep that's what I did."
"Let me get this str8 you're 'searching' for weapons but end up pick pocketing me and ask me not to cause a scene? Sorry am not dumb, am too fast & smart for that crap."
If you thought that leaking Zari's nud3 pics was a way of getting money from Farouk, then you were dead wrong. Some people out there who claim to have Zari's pics approached Farouk Sempala for a ransom or else they leak the pics, but Zari's new lover just gave them a go ahead, he also added, I won't pay you a penny.
"You don't have to hold me at ransom, claiming to have Zari's nud# pics. I won't even pay you a coin simply because I don't negotiate with ''mind terrorists''. Do whatever you feel is right for you to do. I don't shake easily, after all, we all get nud3 at some point and she ain't any different from other females. All assets are where they were created to be, nothing new or weird," the muscled man concluded.
Now that Ivan is no more in Zari's life, she proudly refers to Farouk as my man. In one of her FB lines while commenting on Monic's leaked pics, Zari said: "When ma man's pics leaked she(Monic) was all over the show saying lots..."
This cycle of nud3 this nud# that seems to be the new way of doing things. When Brenda was launching her latest song, she came running all over with nothing to wear, and just recently, Margla, who is expecting to download her set of twins this November announced the news in a similar manner, and then one asks Tuli kuki Oba?
Meanwhile, Zari has left for South Africa this morning but a female guard at the security check point tried to take her $1,200 while checking her bag, but the goggle-eyed Zari had spotted the officer letting out a loud scream in the process, she got her money back.
A few weeks back, Farouk's crown jewels were on display for all to see after leaking online. It was too much for him that he had to fly down South to cool off. The new lovers (Zari and Farouk) are now back in town and preparations for the Zari All White Party slated for December are in top gear.
However, as we were still getting to terms with nud# pics doing rounds from various angles, another set of pics for a London based fashionista have leaked. She is suspected to have leaked Farouk's pics that went viral, so is this a revenge of sorts? In the pics, the fashionista is in a hot pink 2 piece set pulled to the sides...
Monic is now attributing the blame on Zari and Farouk being behind the allegedly leaked pics, but when this got to Zari, the mom of three did not have kind words.
"Some 45yr old woman had her nud# pics leaked and came back to blame some pple. Did I ask you to undress, did I take those pics, was I present during your photoshoot? "
"If I ever have my nudes leaked in anyway, I will be the person to blame coz I will be the person responsible for everything. When other pples' pics leak, your the 1st ones to comment. When yours do, you switch the blame. So madam, Take full responsibility, no one undressed you."
The fashionista's boyfriend has been very supportive to his girl friend; "Thanks for the support to everyone and stand by ma woman....Zari is just a lost sheep looking for Sheperd in a lion's den."
18-Dec-2014 - Arab Money Party VS. All White Ciroc Party
It's only July, but the month of December seems to be all booked. The Arab Money party by socialites, Sue Ochola and Judith Heard, is being held on the same day with Zari's All White Ciroc Party.
The two parties were last year held one week apart in the same venue. Zari's White party was the first to be held at Golf Course Roof Top and a week later, it was the Arab Money party. This year, it's all different.
When Zari and Ivan fell out, it was rumoured that the White Party won't take place now that it was Ivan bank rolling it, but Zari was quick to defend it "The Zari All White Party'' is a Zari brand and not a Zari & Ivan thing...."
Well, like both parties say, mark the date to see which socialite camp splashes more money...!
Gorgeous socialite, Zari Hassan is back in town doing what she does best-partying. Zari was over the weekend spotted in the company of her new lover, Farouk Sempala at Protea Hotel. They seemed to be having a quiet evening by themselves.
The two lovers were cruising in Zari's black Chrysler. Zari flew into the country just in time for Eid. Close pals are wishing they could have twins by around early 2015, a period long enough to show off fruits of their labour.
Zari's Ex, Ivan Ssemwanga was not able to travel to Uganda for Keron's burial, but he sent Shs 8,000,000/- to Juliana Kanyomozi as condolence fees.
In the world of socialites, Zari is to Uganda while Vera Sidika is for Kenya. Last Saturday, as MC Kats was interviewing the Kenyan players before the game with the Rugby Cranes, they requested for music from Jaguar, P-Unit though some preferred to refer to P-Unit's song as Vera Sidika's.
Well, "Kenya's Kim Kardashian", Vera Sidika, is all bleached including her booty which she fondly refers to as SabaSaba!
As expected, she came under fire with some saying she could as well bleach the brains plus all sorts of things. The socialite has responded:
"Human beings always and must have a problem with everything. Bitc*_s be like "your legs too black. Bleach em. Oh, now your legs too white. Get a tan. Then be like your eyebrows not well done. Oh you have a moustache wax it. Why you wearing fake hair (when they also got weaves on) Oh your nose too big. Get a nose job. Oh, why your forehead like that. Damn, your pic you were so black like charcoal and ugly. Bi-*h you so white now. Why are you bleached? Lmao."
The video vixen who featured in the P-Unit's You Guy video says the skin lightening treatment cost her around UGX 420M, she did it from London. In one of the tweets, Vera who is currently in Nigeria with her boyfriend, a businessman in the oil industry revealed to her fans how she misses Nairobi but will be back in August.
In Uganda, we've seen a few taking this route like Shanita Namuyimba aka Bad Black, who is currently serving a four-year-jail term for having embezzled UGX 11Bn from her then lover, David Greenhalgh. The latest on that list is Princess Komuntale who even says, I'm better looking now!
This afternoon, Ivan Semwanga gave his followers a chance to ask him questions, but Zari's ex failed to answer any, may be he is still thinking of the answers. Below are some of the questions from Ivan's followers on facebook.
Are you still in love with Zari?
Is it true that you are a witch doctor in South Africa?
Are you still seeing Sharon O?
How did you get the money that you have?
If Zari apologized, would you forgive her?
Meanwhile, Ivan became very active on social networks at the time when Zari was having a fling with Isaac Lugudde aka LK4, since then, he has been an addict at times trying to out compete Zari in posting hilarious and motivational quotes. Lately, that level of interaction has gone down.
It looks like he has resorted to his old ways of being the laid-back person he was. Farouk is currently in South Africa and in Zari's latest tweet, she explains why she dumped Ivo for Farouk.
"There cmes a point when u realize that sme ppl will never be who u need them to be....... Keep ple in your life who truly love u, motivate u & make u happy. If ur wit pple who do none, let them go. Find some1 that wants to connect with u on all levels. Financially, Emotionally, mentally, and sexually. All or none. Know your worth!!!"
It has been a terrible two weeks for Farouk after his crown jewels leaked online and there was no better way of cooling off other than joining his better half, Zari who was spending most of the time in warm clothes due to winter. According to the South Africa Weather Bureau (SAWB), the cold spell will be in the Gauteng areas on Monday. Farouk's fashion says it all.
On learning that Farouk was in his area code, Don Ivo as his close pals refer to him has now taken on to a new sport at least to occupy him during this time. The last he tried racing was in 2012 while celebrating President Barack Obama's winning the second term in office, and they were only experimenting on which car was the fastest between an Aston Martin and a Lamborghini, but he is now seriously into rally driving.
Is this a perfect Zari replacement, certainly not, but it could be one way of occupying his mind other than thinking of Farouk's WMD.
Farouk left for SA on the night Germany walloped Brazil 7 goals to 1 and before he could even land another photo was doing rounds though this was purely works of photoshop and he tweeted this from his hotel bed.
"You can soil ma image with photoshop pics dat go viral, for goons who do zero for me to comment & insult. But you won't take a thing away from me. My literacy, religion, IQ, pride, better connections etc will stay. What's meant to be mine, will surely be by Allah's grace. To those who truly love, care & understand me, I'll still remain their "sweet Pharouque". Am not fame hungry, but enjoying how famous yo already making me. KEEP HATING."
After Farouk Sempala's crown jewels leaking online, his lover Zari has been very supportive during this time and she says that every relationship has problems but it's in times like these that you stick together.
"Every relationship has its problems, but what makes it perfect, is if you stick together even when things go wrong. We've gotta stop being afraid of peoples' baggage. Love conquers even the darkest of pasts..... Have a blessed Sunday, " Zari tweeted.
Farouk on the other hand says that for as long as you fight him emotionally, you are bound to lose, but try him physically, you are bound to 'win'.
"SHAME, it's the most common & most powerful weapon of control & coercion used against men in a culture driven by archaic traditions, as well as the modern mirror, gender ideology. Am not a remote to be controlled, I rise above this weapon. Fight me physically u'll win. Fight me emotionally or verbally u'll lose ma head n mind is so occupied.
Zari's lover, Farouk Sempala is facing a nud3 photo scandal after an ex-girlfriend leaked the pic on social media. Farouk has commented on the leaked photo and he admits that that is his photo of five years back. Farouk split with his ex (the one in the background of the photo) five years back, but just recently, she found out about Zari and got upset.
The mom of three, Zari, is not moved an inch and she says;
"Beautiful is the woman who knows anyone who stands against her has no power to hurt her. No weapon formed against her shall prosper."
Meanwhile, Urban TV's Luswata will have a field day on her next show as she will certainly not spare this one.
Farouk is not the only one faced with such a scandal. Last December, socialite Judith Heard's pics leaked on the net. It was later discovered that they had been leaked from a stolen phone.
First, it was Judith Heard who was featured on Mary Luswata's show which normally has something negative about the person being profiled, but in the end, she ended up apologizing for calling Judith Heard illiterate.
On her show yesterday, she was hitting back at an Ebonies actress who is behind the social media bashing of #MaryLuswata. On this one, the TV personality said that she only learnt of her after her smearing campaign, but before that, she hardly knew who Hady Sengo was. She then went on to liken her to the galz who take beer with a ''straw in a beer bottle''.
She proceeded to her next topic which was Weasel fighting with Pallaso over a gal and the gal is none other than Sheebah. Remember, this very TV personality said Sheebah had smelly panties.
Before all that could settle, an earlier clip is threatening to go viral in which Mary Luswata asks her viewers if they have really taken a closer look at Zari's boo, Farouk, who looks muscular that if he was put in a ring with Ivan, he could leave with a face that his mother could not recognize...
"Zari would you honestly prefer a broke man who cannot defend you...I don't even know why people say he is handsome, have you looked at that guy closely, " Luswata asked.
When this got to Zari, she did not waste any minute in shooting back as seen from her posts in pic...!
Just hours after Zari was looking for secrets to a lasting marriage, her boo, Farouk Sempala has come out blasting those who flood his inbox telling him this and that about his beau, Zari.
“Stop flooding my inbox with gossip pertaining to Zari. If she did A, B, C…fair enough, I also did D, E & F.”
He adds: “If I wanted saints, I would have dated from the Vatican. The most annoying bit is coupled with maturity neither of you is in a stable relationship, I have tried to ignore naye mulemedeko enuggu ebasiwa bubbi! Wama safe flight”
Zari chips in; “Honestly most people who have time to gossip about other people are the most miserable and most desperate people you will ever meet. With nothing going on in their lives, they resort to such nonsense. Isn’t that being a wasted sperm???”
Zari should now add that secret to her list of secrets to a lasting marriage. “Do not listen to what people say,” exactly the way Farouk did, otherwise, if you take in whatever you are told, then that relationship is bound to be short lived.
Zari has embarked on a serious mission of looking for answers to why marriages don’t last these days!
It’s not news anymore that Zari split with Ivan Ssemwanga, the father of her three boys, and also, hooked up with another dude, Farouk Sempala.
Many are still getting to terms with the fact that it did not work out between these two lovebirds considering the fact that Zari has everything that one could dream of.
Now, Zari is asking what tricks our grannies used to keep their affairs going!
“Nowadays, you can be everything somebody ever wanted and still get played. I hope the Beyonce divorce rumors ain’t true coz then..arrghh! Then Melanie and Antonio are divorcing after 20 years. What’s a person got to do to keep it going? ”
The ‘Better than Them’ singer concluded by asking; “How did our parents do it? I’m losing faith!!!”
Close pals were quick to give answers to her query.
Our grand parents were not using social media, mobile phones or WhatsApp. Marriages are so short lived these days because the fear of God is not there anymore.
Then another wrote: God is not coming to intervene, the one reason marriages don’t last is because people marry for the wrong reasons. Our grand parents knew exactly the values of marriage.
The lady that can't live without hair extensions, Zari, is now too blessed to be stressed. Yesterday, she gave her life to christ and in the above pic, you can see Zari being baptized after putting her faith in Jesus Christ. Zari was raised as a muslim, but yesterday, she became born again.
Since her troubles with ex-hubby, Ivan Ssemwanga, Zari has been expressing her love for Farouk Ssempala and the last citing was a few weeks back at Serena Hotel, Kampala during the Fashion Intro.
After letting off too much as a socialite, Zari has decided that it is time to change. If you've followed her tweets lately, you could easily confuse her for a pastor of sorts.
It's not clear what is behind Zari's new religious findings but what is clear though is that her new boyfriend, Farouk, is a muslim and many thought this could bring out the spark that was missing in the (Zari-Ivan) affair.
This morning she said: "I'm at a point in my life where if it ain't about money, progression or family I ain't into it." So there you go!
Zari is back and this time in a Stabua Natoro's Tujanjawaze style. The two were yesterday spotted at Serena Hotel following the fashion proceedings, but Farouk did not spend any second with his arms off the mom of three.
During the fashion show, Farouk kept on telling Zari how beautiful she was and that she was so special. The couple looked happy throughout the event.
Zari's Easter holiday was cut short when Ivan made plans of coming to Kampala, so to avoid a scene, she got onto the next plane to SA, but exactly after one month, she is back to start from where they stopped with her new found love, Farouk Sempala.
In the past one month, the couple has been in a long distance relationship but, those 'love sanctions' have been lifted at least for now. On the other hand, Ivan and Doreen Komuhangi's affair hangs in balance after it was publicly denounced by the NBS TV star.
Tycoon Ivan Ssemwanga has over the past several days been getting to terms with the mom of his three boys Zari leaving him for a six packed guy, Farouk Sempala. A new report claims the search is finally over. Ivan and Doreen Komuhangi, a news anchor at NBS TV are hooking up.
It's no secret that Ivan and Doreen are close. A friend to Doreen asked her if she was ready to be wife No.3, and her response was; "Do you have a problem with that." But in another post, as the hook up news were spreading like wildfire, Doreen came up with the above post.
"I'm not replacing Zari, I'm not engaged to anyone." Doreen noted on her wall. Ivan's fans were so excited about the development not after what Zari had taken him through, but, it looked like a false alarm. The comment from Doreen has been perceived by some as a person who does not like to make her affair public.
The same source went on to say that the annual 'Zari White Party' for this year hangs in balance as Ivan won't be bank rolling it, instead, it will be the Doreen White Party.
Zari was quick to come to her defence through this post: "The Zari All White Party'' is a Zari brand and not a Zari & Ivan thing, so kindly restrain from tarnishing my brand as it still lives...Thank you."
On top of declaring that there was nothing going on between her and Ivan, Doreen went on to say that white has never been her colour!. For now though, we are watching to see if Farouk will be behind the All White Party and what theme party Ivan will sponsor for his new boo...!
Lot's of Zari's followers have been posing all sorts of questions as to what the mom of three likes about Farouk. This was her response:
"I fell in love with him...not sure why or even how. Yes, they've asked me what I see in him, but I smile, look down and say nothing because I don't wan't them to fall in love with him."
That does not kind of explain why Zari could dump the father of her 'three soldiers' to hobnob with six packed Farouk Sempala. This is what caused Zari to fall out of love.
Zari was bored. Having been with Ivan for over 14 years, she had slipped into a comfortable routine which was no longer exciting according to her thus sparking the spontaneous drive in her.
Zari is way older than Ivan, but looks like the older woman-younger man relationship had stopped working anymore. Zari now wants someone way older and that is how Farouk assumes Ivan's place.
Domestic violence is involved. Zari has taken off from Ivan's home not once, not twice for fear of being battered. And now, she is in the hands of the man who says; "In this life, we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love."
Well, Zari's needs and priorities seem to have changed, there is not much that can be done for now.
It all started with a simple pic of Farouk's mother on his wall, and like all posts, this one too attracted comments. Zari's comment was the best; "Bless her, she was good to me and to 'us'. Zari came to Uganda before Easter just to meet Farouk's parents.
Then one made a comment asking Zari what happened between her and basket ball star, Isaac Lugudde (LK4). 'My past is past, I'm with Farouk now," Zari replied.
Meanwhile, Farouk still has some cozy shots that were taken a few days back when Zari was around. In one of them, Farouk is seen bitting Zari's ear and had they not been lovers, this could be similar to the scene of Mike Tyson bitting off Evander Holyfield's ear. In the other shot, you could think a bird is feeding it's young one.
However, the shots are doing the trick for Farouk, and to some extent, he is contented. "I'ts always nice to have someone in your life that makes u smile even when they're not around, Farouk wrote.
On the other hand, Zari's estranged hubby, Ivan has resorted to writing in parables: "Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you will look back and realize they were the big things."
Zari and Farouk are now in a long distance relationship after Zari flew back to South Africa. Her estranged hubby, Ivan Ssemwanga is in town for the Easter holiday, so to avoid a nasty scene, she had to take off for her dear life.
Zari and Farouk have been dating for almost two months, and according to Zari, everything about Farouk is amazing. The problem now is that the couple is not together. Zari is constantly thinking about her boo and missing him terribly. She is already suffering from lack of sleep and loss of appetite.
This morning, Zari wrote on Farouk's wall: "The greatest feeling in the world: To wake up and see you have a text from the one you love." and this was Farouk's response: "En d greatest feeling is knowing...yo love is reading n feelin dat text."
Zari continues to reveal more info of what went wrong between her and Ivan. For example, she told one that Ivan spends most of his valuable time with King Lawrence as opposed to spending it with his boys. She also burst Ivan's bubble when she revealed that not all cars that Ivan posts on his wall are his.
Meanwhile, Ivan is yet to make his presence felt. He will be at Ange-Noir tonight for the 'Night in Vegas' themed party, so those vying for a place in his heart well knowing that he is searching know where to find him.
Today is the day when tycoon Ivan Semwanga is expected in the country, but by this morning, Zari was tweeting from her bedroom in South Africa and her lover boy, Farouk Sempala, rumoured to have taken off to Nairobi.
"Every girl deserves a guy who can make her forget that her heart was ever broken..... Good morning," is Zari's latest tweet.
In the tweet, it's evident that Farouk had made her forget that her heart had once been broken, but knowing what lay ahead when her estranged hubby jets into the country, the mom of three just took off.
Early this week, Ivan had warned that he was coming to Uganda to sort out Farouk. The new lover boy shot back with these words: "Love is stronger than violence...don't take my silence for granted. Thursday is here and with all due respect, I dare you, I'm patiently waiting for my slaps."
A lot has happened in a very short time. Zari and her latest lover, Farouk Sempala, are the talk of the town, but her Ssenga, Halima Namakula says that she is not aware of all this.
However, she promises to get back to whoever cares to know with what is happening to her 'daughter'. "Banange Senga kino tanakitegera, bwanamaanya ajja kubategeeza. Senga akyaali mubungereza." Literally translated as: "Colleagues, as Zari's auntie, I'm not aware of the latest developments, but I will let you know the moment I establish the truth."
With Ivan, Zari felt that she had waited for too long to get married. Her status updates as of this morning are a repeat of one word: 'Happy' 'Happy' 'Happy'. Well, with Farouk, she is not only happy but also looks happy. Farouk and Zari share the same religious beliefs, one of the reasons for her happiness. Wedding talks are underway again another reason to be happy.
And Zari sings along: "Bwokwantako nzilika Una mummy, dance skelewu, baby lwaki twefanana!!!!!"
Ivan has been busy with a series of meetings, but he is now done and he says he is ready for Uganda. Watch this space!
In mid March, Farouk went to South Africa for a short holiday and that's where he found some love. In just the last couple of days, Farouk has been treating Zari like a lady, opening the door for her, the loved up couple is always cuddling, something that Zari hadn't felt in a long time.
It's not the first time though that Zari and Ivan are splitting. Some time in 2012, the couple split citing domestic violence. Zari gave this reason for the split; "Domestic violence is a no no, had my share for a long time and I'm officially out." Ivan is a no nonsense fella, he even beat up Zari's sisters on suspicion of linking her to some dude.
A few days back, he revealed how he was going to slap Farouk the moment he lands on him, but Farouk's response was; "I'm a lover not a fighter." Ivan is expected in Kampala for Easter, though some think he might not make it this time around. On the other hand, Farouk is also keeping fit by constantly hitting the gym just in case he has to defend himself from the impending slaps.
Zari and Farouk might as well be your next showbizz couple, the love birds aren't afraid to flaunt their romance. Ivan Semwanga let out a little too much in his phone interview.
Looks like they are both determined to move on. Zari was yesterday checking on what she proudly refers to as her in-laws in Masaka and later settled at a top hang out. Their PDA just confirmed that Zari was head over heels for her new boyfriend, Farouk.
"A positive attitude gives you power over your circumstances instead of your circumstances having power over you..... Life is short. Make each day count. Give thanks and take nothing for granted. Live each day as if it were your last. It just may be....Good morning & have a blessed Saturday!!!!"
''The best revenge you can get on all of those horrible people in your past is to show them that nothing they did stopped you from being you.''
Those are some of Zari's tweets that speak volumes about her affair with lovesick hubby, Ivan Semwanga.
In a phone interview between Ivan and top social scribe, Henry Ndugwa, the loaded fella says:
A man is free to marry as many wives,
I earn 1billion per month,
I have 40 schools,
I've Never Heard of Divorcing after an Introduction ceremony,
Farouk is a security guard in the UK, he's been deported,
Farouk is dating Zari thinking that she is loaded,
Zari is broke.
Socialite Zari did not wait for the dust to settle, and this is what she wrote:
"Hahahah.....oh bambi!!!!! Ate okwanjula tekulina divorce ate am seeking divorce to get money (how do I seek divorce b4 marriage) ate this ate that....banange. lolest!!! Pple need prayers and physiological professional help, that's too much for one mind to handle or contain. Sometimes I do wonder if pple are stripped of the small money they claim to have what will define them as Men, as in a real MAN!"
The mom of three, in her conclusion says that she wonders what will be left of Ivan if he is stripped of the 'little money'. One thing is for sure, Ivan is even failing to pretend that he's not feeling for Zari. Many are advising him to get another woman, but looks like he is not about to let go, though Zari is equally not in a hurry to go back as she seems happy, Just yesterday, she was in Masaka checking on Farouk's parents hmmm!
Zari's on and off hubby, Ivan Semwanga, has added a black Lamborghini to his fleet. Given the heavy Kampala traffic in the last two days, it will be 'Tourism' being stuck in the jam while cruising that 'black mamba' or better still the orange beast (IVAN 10 GP) that has been around for some time.
We hope this is not a publicity stunt aimed at shifting attention from his wife who has been making headlines with her new found love. Just yesterday, Ivan was cruising with one of his managers.
"Working days but can't resist a cruise in ma new lambo...! with ma financial manager," Ivan tweeted. On a positive note, Ivan was passing out graduates from some of his 8 campuses located in several states in South Africa. Some of the campuses are located in: Pretoria, Johannesburg, Polokwane, Durban and East London among others.
Recently, Zari and Ivan separated. Zari is now seeing some well built dude, Farouk Sempala. She even told off those who were on her case for hooking up some one new, that, which law stops single moms from dating again.
Zari is now trying to get used to the new reality which seems to be taking a toll on her. On Tuesday, Ivan went to see his bankers probably to change the way the joint accounts will be operated following their separation. "Waiting for my private banker," Ivan who bought tickets to the tune of shs 5m for the April 6 Kabaka Birthday Marathon noted.
The new terms are now into force and they seem to be biting if Zari's posts are anything to go by.
"Lord be my witness, they had NOTHING when I found them. Then we made it, now they think they have it all. The 'wanna be ladies' think am a gold digger. But I worked for it. I made 'them' Lord I surrender....let them have it all. I don't want none of it. I seek my peace!!"
One who told her to calm it down was like making matters worse.
"I know, but I ain't here to kiss azz. All them b.... saw u now I saw u in a single bed mattress with nothing now u wana tell the world u made me. No noo hun I made u, Don't run around feeling big, I know your history they don't!!!! He shldn't f....insult me!!!"
Ivan is still getting to terms with his best half, Zari moving out with another man, Farouk Sempala, and in an effort to defuse the situations around them, Ivan is now sharing a Mercedes Benz A 250 on his wall calling it his 'small toy'.
We hope this is not a move aimed at shifting attention. Sometime back, Ivan took shots next to an Audi R8 which disappeared shortly after the photo session, congs for the A250.
On the other hand, Zari is labouring to explain to whoever cares to know that the bathtub pic which has since gone viral is not her but Kenyan socialite, Huddah Monroe. Hmmm Zari and Huddah both use 'The Bo$$ Lady' as taglines.
Meanwhile, Farouk and Zari's pics continue to leak. This became a bit too much for some people who were quick to tell her that this had publicly disgraced her, but the mom of three had this to say; "Which rule states that single mom's can't /don't date?"
In the latest pic, Zari is lost in Farouk's arms busy recording the moment, so you even know who is behind the taking of these cozy shots!
Ivan hooked Nickita and later Sharon O paving way for Zari hooking up with LK4. I'ts now an equalizer after Zari added Farouk on to her radar.
Zari's introduction ceremony was held in December 2011 on a budget way bigger than most wedding ceremonies today. But less than four years later, the couple that has been together for close to sixteen years seems to be addicted to drama than never before.
Over 300 heifers plus an assortment of gifts were given to Zari's parents as dowry for their beautiful daughter. Zari's brother (Muko) was given a golf car and her mother too received a car. Zari received a Hummer, but she rejected it claiming it was manly. She was later given a Range Rover Sport.
During the introduction ceremony, Ivan was waving to Zari's family members while dishing out 50k notes like a Nigerian Oga.
The guests were later treated to an after party at Serena Hotel that saw Zari who was clad in a blue Sari perform some of her songs for Ivan who seemed to love the moment.

Like any girl, Zari enjoyed her day and so were the sisters.
However, the couple has registered more drama in the past years. Initially, Zari was all over social networking sites, something that Ivan wasn't so much into, but when his wife got so close to basket ball player, Isaac Lugudde, Ivan was forced to up his game on social networking sites.
His efforts soon paid off and It was not long before Nickita came to his life and later Sharon O. Looks like Zari is now revenging. After splitting with LK4 as his side dish, Zari is now close to Farouk.
Socialite Zari who dated basket ball player Isaac Lugudde aka LK4 before splitting to reunite with Ivan Semwanga, the father of her three boys is at it once again. Some cozy pics with a guy only identified as Farouk are doing rounds on social networks. It's alleged that these two hooked up two weeks back.
Four days back, Zari wrote: "The right relationships will never have to be forced or chased," while Ivan seems to be strong and not shaken by the latest developments. Yesterday morning, he shared some holy quotes, something that left many amused.
"Dear Jesus, Im ready for what is in store for me because I trust you. I know that you have good plans for me, Thank You Lord, Amen."
It's not the first time that this couple is going through this, but looking at Farouk's body and LK4, then, you must be muscular or having six pack abs to get this close to Zari, no wonder, Ivan had to even try out a stomach surgery all in the name of getting that bod that Zari loves most.!
YES! - A few days back, Zari was spotted heading to the gym while receiving a lot of attention courtesy of her rear end. Men were actually complimenting her butt while some women glared in envy.
However, It has since emerged that the socialite was putting on padded panties giving her an extra bum. Photo experts were quick to dismiss Zari's butt as real. In the pic, you could see the butt enhancer lines.
"Zari is blessed with a backside, why does she even have to put on those silicone pads, " one said. Padded panties and hip enhancers are selling like hot cakes these days in most fashion stores around town.
Zari is committed to a regular gym routine to ensure she gets that smashing body. Staying in shape is number one on her agenda. Zari has managed to fight the belly by balancing eating and exercise.
Socialite, singer, fashionista and, uh, Ivan Semwanga's wife is determined to stay a s|xy sassy baby mama.
Socialite Zari is known for her high-end hair extensions, but yesterday, she decided to switch things up. Posting a photo of herself on Instagram, Zari revealed some beautiful hair underneath it all with this caption: "Meet my real Hair".
Zari must have been feeling pretty uncomfortable for those few minutes she did not have her wig on. The mom of three has been rocking these weaves that go all the way to her waist since emerging on the social scene in 2009.
Interestingly, this was the first time some of her close buddies were seeing her real hair.
That was Ivan reacting to a message stating that his wife, Zari, could do anything for money. Ivan's account has over 5,000 followers but the fake account had 624 followers. It has since been removed.
In the 'fake account', Ivan was expressing shock over the info he found in his inbox that was pointing at Zari having hanged out with over 50 men, most of them Nigerians.
The issue of fake accounts cannot be taken lightly though! During the Komuntale-Christopher saga, Christopher talked of his account being hacked into and as it later turned out, he was apologizing.
Meanwhile, as the over 50 guys story was making rounds on social networks, Zari was busy sipping the moment away and she had this message to her haters; "To those that hate me that much, thank you for giving me that control over you...!"

The Uganda Cranes Team that is down in South Africa has already got 10m from philanthropist Ivan Semwanga, King Lawrence and Cheune.
The Ugandan team will be playing Morocco this evening at 8pm and should they win, that will be an additional 20m for them making it 30m. The game will be live on UBC. If Uganda wins this game, it will make it to the last eight teams in the biannual championships.
Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports coming in indicate that Ivan Ssemwanga was last night battered with a baton at Marvel pub on long street in Capetown. We will return with more on this story as it develops.
Ivan is around and not in South Africa. He has actually deleted posts from his wall that indicated he had already travelled to South Africa to 'chase paper'. Communicating from Bulenga, he noted that; 'The Untouchables- Ivan&King are partying till dawn' seemingly not bothered about being 'on wanted' for having beaten up Zari's sisters and a son to tycoon Ntake.
Zari is very bitter and these were her words following the incident; "You're a disgrace! Can't believe you beat up my sisters like dogs. Who the fcuk does that? That's barbaric. Insecurity in a man is a total turn off and an ugly trend."
Trouble stemmed from the tycoon's son who tried to squeeze juices out of Zari's butT as Ivan watched from a distance, but Zari was quick to push him away well knowing that this could be bloody if the father of her three sons spotted them. Unfortunately for her, he had already seen them.
Shortly after, Zari came to join her hubby who was then seated with his manager Kato. ''You told me that was Zahra's boyfriend,'' but before Zari could explain, Ivan tried slapping her in the face but she has been through this quite a lot and now learnt how to deal with it, she ducked and the person who was next to them suffered the ducking consequences.
Fearing to nurse red cheeks, Zari took off and the rest of Saturday night clubbing was spent through tweets. At the time, the young man had sensed trouble, so he dashed to the washrooms. The doors were forced open as he had taken a bit long and yet other club goers wanted to use the washrooms.
This was when bouncers descended on the young man on the advise of Ivan and dragged him out of Club. Zari's sisters were equally called out of the club to explain their side of the story but looks like it was not adding up, they were all slapped.
Yesterday was Raphael's 9th birthday. His parents, Zari and Ivan were around the whole day to ensure that he gets the coolest birthday ever. Bouncing castles plus lots of games for the kids were in place.
This was Zari's birthday message; "Mansions come and go, cars come and go, men come and go, money comes and goes but my sons, that will never go. I will always be their mother no matter what! Happy 9th birthday Raphael aka Didi. I love you son."
The couple has the money to rent out Wonders world so their son can have the coolest birthday present but given the timing, most of those venues had been fully booked for the new year's eve celebrations.
Then came the musical chairs game, Ivan was the last man standing.
Big heart, nice hearted were some of the words that Zari's close pals told her when she paid a courtesy visit to M-Lisada Orphanage in Nsambya just a day before Christmas. The South African based socialite was in the company of her three boys; Pinto, Didy and Quincy.
It was a special Christmas gift for the kids as Zari helped with the preparation for the X-mas food and later donated an assortment of items worth millions of shillings to the kids. Some of the items donated were; sanitary pads, sugar, biscuits, rice and matooke.
Zari was glad she had put a smile on their faces. The kids equally paid her with acrobatic performances and rare dancing skills in appreciation of a job well done.
Last Thursday was Zari's 'All White Ciroc Party' at Guvnor. Most of the guests came dressed in white except for a few who didn't get the dress code right. Entrance fee was 30,000/- for general happiness and 1m to have a table. Zari was smart and many seemed to like her dress though some had issues with her hair. She came driving her orange beast.
The Goodlyfe Crew of Moze Radio and Weasel were among the performers for the night. The White party was dominated by 'Ba Summers' from South Africa and UK. It was then time to reward the best dressed. Victoria Nakabuye's passion for fashion made her win shs1.5m which the MC demanded to count to verify if it was the right amount, but this money did not get to winner somehow.
The girls then mounted a seach for MC Kats to give them the money or an explanation but he was nowhere to be seen. After a few hours, through his wall, Mc Kats responded to the allegations that he had vanished with the money claiming that he is not a thief; "When rich men want to play, you give them a game of their worth, and as the person behind the game, I have to be paid..by who, when how much that's your business, but you have to be paid."
His posting did not seem to address the situation either. Short of that, ciroc vodka was flowing non stop as babes who could strut their thing well ended up getting some of the free money from the Ba Summers. Among the notables were; Kasha, who will be holding his Sushi party at Venom on Dec 26, 2013, King Lawrence who has been inseperable from Juliana Kanyomozi from the time he landed, SK. Mbuga and Zari's husband, Ivan Semwanga.
Ivan was putting on a shoe with designs similar to those that were on Zari's dress. All photos by Nicholas Oneal.
When you see Zari in her Lamborghini or other posh rides that she cruises around, one could easily think that she can't get off that horse, but the mom of three has not forgotten where she came from, so once in a while she comes back to Uganda to do things she can't do in South Africa.
She recently shared a picture on her wall while preparing rice and chicken thighs not on a gas plate or cooker but using a charcoal stove, something she did with ease and enjoyed. This is what she had to say: "Fame and glamour aside. I took to our back kitchen to make some chicken stew, rice and Matooke."
In the picture, you could see a down to earth woman lighting up a charcoal stove, a role that is normally undertaken by maids or house helpers. Meanwhile, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, something that women who know how to cook enjoy over those that don't. Zari seems to know that well and this could be one of the reasons Ivan considered as he was dating her.
It's okay to look pretty, but even better if you are able to hold it down physically, sexually, mentally and domestically just like Zari is doing it. So ladies, being good in bed and just feeding your man on fast foods from KFC and the likes might not be a complete package.
Zari is in the country for her Ciroc White party that will be held at Guvnor on December 19, 2013.
Zari is in the country ahead of her Ciroc White Party that will be held at Guvnor on December 19, 2013. She flew in with hubby and kids. During the style and fashion awards that were held on Dec.12 at the MTN Arena in Lugogo, Zari emerged as the winner for 'Best Female Dressed Celebrity'.
In that category, Zari had been nominated with Leila Kay, Sheila Gashumba, Helen Lukoma and Judith Heard. Zari's hubby, Ivan Ssemwanga was still in a jovial mood after turning (30), he gave shs 5.5m to the team behind Abryanz Collection, the organisers of the awards.
Other winners included Meddie Ssentongo as 'Best Male Dressed Celebrity', Sylvia Owori taking the 'Life Time Style Icon'.
Doreen Kabareebe did not spare the category of 'Most Outstanding Female Model' not after showing off her football skills when she took full control of the ball around her thigh area. Football lovers paid her back by voting in large numbers. Bad Black's lover, Maysean, tycoon SK. Mbugga and Club Venom, Silk and Guvnor publicists attended.
The Goodlyfe Crew with their song; 'Can't Let You Go' lost the Channel O award for 'Most Gifted Ragga Dance Hall Video' to Kenya's P-Unit.
P-Unit's 'You Guy' did not spare them in another category of 'Most Gifted Ragga Dance Hall Video', the same category Navio has been nominated.
Tweeting from South Africa, the Goodlyfe Crew were quick to congratulate P-Unit. "Congs P-Unit, East Africa, Africa CHOAMVA well represented."
The 'Leka Kwenyumiliza' singer, Navio did not forget those that voted for him. "Big up to all my fans that voted for me. We'll get it in next year proper! 2014."
On the night of the awards, The Goodlyfe Crew wrote: "Tonight is the night of giants, let's celebrate like giants Channel O style," but Bebe Cool simply branded them as losers when it turned out that they had lost.
Goodlyfe's camp was quick to shoot back: "Being nominated is an achievement in itself, Radio and Weasel are nominated every year, where is Bebe Cool?"
This Friday, Bebe Cool and the Goodlyfe Crew will be battling it out at Kyadondo Rugby Grounds. On the same day, the dynamic duo will also be premiering their latest video, 'Miles Away' before facing off with Bebe Cool who will be in the red corner.
Ivan has a son from an earlier relationship. This afternoon, the celebrity couple was spotted with Ivan's son only identified as Rodney. And being a good mum she is, Zari was seen all smiles with Rodney who looked all grown and soon, he will be taller than both of them.
A few months back, we saw Bebe Cool reveal his best kept secret by introducing his first born Allan Brian Ssali aged 18, something that took most of his fans by surprise, and now, Ivan is doing the same.
Sharing Rodney's pics, Ivan wrote; "With my other son, Rodney." Zari has three boys with Ivan; Pinto, Didy and Quincy. However, the other reason for Zari being excited is none other than her latest addition to her fleet, a range over vogue, model 2013.
No doubt, the 33-year-old loves cars and with her Ciroc party slated for December 19, 2013 at Guvnor, Ange-Noir, Ivan has bought her a range rover vogue model 2013 which she will use for her white party as she explains:
"Went shopping with Ivan look what he found for the white party.....gotta love this Vogue damn. No more autobiography, this baby be rocking the white party! "
Last Saturday (Sept 23), Paul and Peter Okoye were performing at the Leaders Club, Kinondoni in Dar-es-Salaam. As usual, the Nigerian music duo did not disappoint on their second visit to the East African country since 2008.
South Africa based Ugandan socialite Zari was there too hanging out with the P-Square duo and later in that evening, Zari was cheering the 'Personally' singers at the Leaders Club. No doubt, she had fun judging from her tweet the following morning: "Good Morning Africa..Psquare rocked Tz, I personally loved it."
However, the main reason for Zari traveling to TZ was more to do with the Ledger Plaza, Bahari beach party which was held on Sunday. She was the chief guest. There was also a fashion show by Tanzania's Ally Rehmtullah. Just last month, Zari was in South Korea as the Miss Asia Pacific Ambassador for Africa and now Tanzania.
Zari was so grateful for her short stay in Tanzania. "Thanking everyone who received me and all those that came through. I love u guys, TZ is so awesome. God bless u, thanks once again."
South African based Ugandan socialite, Zari, has for the last so many weeks been a regular at the gym all in the name of losing some pounds.
Comparing herself now and then, it looks like the results at the gym have started paying off. Following several kilometres on the treadmill, Zari has toned down on her behind and shed off some fat as a result of regular work outs.
The mom of three has even cut down the rate at which she tweets due to regular workout sessions. Looking at her pics, she was amazed with the results and had this to say:
"Get inspired or expired.... it comes with motivated hardwork!!! I love ma gym grind, results don't lie!"
So if you've been hitting the gym lately and the fats are not reducing for example, you might as well keep more focus on the workouts, get enough sleep and also, work out harder as opposed to longer, you will soon get the desired results.
The Miss Asia Pacific pageant was held on Oct 30, 2013 at Busan in South Korea. Uganda was represented by Star QT's Stella Nankya though India's Srishti Rana took the day.
Then came Zari who had spent the previous day rehearsing ahead of her performance on the night of the pageant. "Finally putting s3xy fabulous tired self to bed, 2am it is here, gotta be up by 8am lol," Zari tweeted after her rehearsals. At the beauty pageant, she did 'Hotter Than Them', which is one of her best songs out of her playlist.
News of Zari performing at the talent show during the Miss Asia Pacific was faced with mixed reactions back home, some were wondering if she was actually singing while others applauded her on the move saying that she was actually better than some artists here in Uganda.
The mom of three was following closely that space and it did not take her time to retaliate with these words: "To all my haters, thanks for paving my way wouldn't have made it without you. Much love," and then followed by these tweets:
"I made it up out of a worst place than most of you... Literally the bottom... That deserves admiration, instead ... Hate rolls in. Smh!"
"I was taught to make a way out of no way, turn nothing into something, Never let small things get in the way of big opportunities. Always stay intelligent."
Zari is the Ambassador of Miss Asia Pacific World in Africa and that was the main reason she graced the pageant, but having been to studio before, she had to show the guests the other side of her. Of course that is 'rich footage' that can be added to her Reality show that will be hitting telly anytime from now.
"Don't wait on someone else to build your dream life. Be the architect of your own happiness," were her concluding remarks.
Have you not seen a woman in a bikini before, Zari Asks!
On Monday, socialite Zari spent a greater part of the day enjoying a hot tub as she took her drink prompting these words from one of her close pals; 'That is too chilaxing' (meaning chill and relaxing) at the same time. The mom-of-three responded to her comment that: "Me and luxury speak the same language."
That seemed to be okay for the moment. Minutes later, she received comments from a host of followers who didn't seem to like the move. It's important to note that, earlier, she had just made a post about her boobs to which she said were still firm even after having three kids.
This led to a heated argument with some wondering why she had to get to this extent. "Attention seeking at it's best.." is what most were writing while others listed some of the highlights from the socialite that range from her music career, reality show, the Lamborghini and now the famous hot tub that have set tongues wagging.
Using her wall, she had this to say: "Total chilaxing in my spare time and y'all have such negative things to say. What exactly have you seen? I bet some of you have barely seen women in bikinis or swim wear, some would never probably survive in Miami. Those who are backward should style up. Any westernized person wouldn't be bothered by my pics!"
Last Saturday was 'Zari's Birthday Bash' on turning 33 and all went well except for the fight at the end. It kicked off with a birthday cruise which saw all guests drink, dance and party as they enjoyed the ride. Like it is the case for Zari's parties, there was flowing champagne on this one too.
At the end of the birthday cruise, it was time for the after party. During the after party, Zari had to cut and serve the guests with a Louis Vuitton cake. The mom of three accentuated her curves in a cream tight dress and straight on dashed for pole-dancing, something that left many of her male guests yearning for more.
Then came the issue of only playing Naija music and yet Zari loves a bit of 'Valu-Valu' and 'Badilisha' in her flow, so she had to hit the DJ box to see if DJ Scratch could play some UG music but unfortunately, that's where she met this guy, a Congolese who had gate crashed and was busy complementing her; and to make matters worse, he was doing what Ivan does best - dishing out cash to the ladies who were strutting their stuff for him.
This did not go down well with the party host and also Zari's husband, Ivan Ssemwanga who was quick to rough up this 'intruder' with the help of his boys. A source at the party had this to say in relation to the fight:
"The Congolese guy was with some South African friends busy throwing cash to the gals something that attracted Ivan to find out who he was and it was during this time that a fight broke out. Zari had to leave the boys to sort themselves now that it was her day, she wasn't going to let it be ruined for some reason."
Short of that, the party went on well and all those who attended, speak volumes about how well organised it was.
Socialite Zari Hassan has turned 33 today. On this day last year, the two lovers (Zari and Ivan) were having issues like they normally do and the very last one was when Sharon O joined the love triangle but the split did not last. The mom of three is now back to her husband. The two rekindled their old love in the UK a few weeks back.
Zari is now bent on none other than her All White Ciroc Party that will be held at Guvnor on 19 December, 2013. Entertainment will be by a surprise guest according to the poster, but information from her camp indicates that talks are underway of bringing in Sean Combs.
In other news, Zari re-activated her facebook account a day before her birthday. The issue of Sharon O and Ivan dating affected her so badly that among others, she had to deactivate her account temporarily to allow the Sharon O dust to settle and indeed it has.
It's about that time of the year when all guests will put on white at the Zari White Party. The South Africa based Ugandan socialite is in talks with the American rapper Sean John Combs aka P-Diddy who lost $1 million last Saturday to Rick Ross in a dice game.
Depending on how it all goes down, the record producer, actor and entrepreneur could be in Kampala this December to grace the Zari All White Party that will be held at the posh Ange-Noir based Guvnor night spot. Champagne will be flowing the whole night long like it has always been at the previous parties. Proceeds for the night will be donated to charity.
A few days back, Zari was trying out white outfits as she prepares for the December party and then came across this white Brooklyn T-shirt. Zari says that this is the sexiest T-shirt she has ever rocked! as she enjoyed coffee in her kitchen.
Brooklyn was the word on the T-shirt. Zari and her husband Ivan Semwanga are the proprietors of Brooklyn City Colleges with about six branches in South Africa.
Socialite Zari's husband, Ivan Semwanga has undergone a plastic surgery operation to get rid of belly fat and breast reduction with an aim of flaunting six pack albs. If you thought that its only women with push up bras and control underwear, then you were mistaken.
On Wednesday, Ivan checked in at a Sandton based hospital for the operation that lasted 6 hours. It cost him Shs 160m according to inside sources. On Saturday, the South African based Ugandan tycoon was spotting a black t-shirt with these words: "No one in my city has Swagger like me."
Its not clear what prompted this move though many are of the view that former Big Brother The Chase contestant, LK4 who dated his wife for some weeks could be the reason behind this. LK4 is fit and keeps in shape through basketball and regular exercising. This could have been what attracted Zari to LK4.
Ivan now wears a compression vest which helps in reducing the risk of bleeding and bruising. The compression garment can be dropped after 48 hours or even after a week depending on the patient. Otherwise, some plastic surgeons even recommend up to six weeks of wearing the garment for better results.
NTV is in advanced stages of documenting realities in Zari's life.
Socialite Zari is not new to Reality TV though. She once had a show on Uganda Broadcasting Corporation (UBC) dubbed 'Zari The Boss Lady' which was stopped due to the steamy kiss that Zari and Sylvia Owori had while on a boat cruise.
In an effort to embrace local content over the foreign soaps, NTV has a lot in store. It recently brought Douglas Lwanga of 'The Beat' on board and Bebe Cool's better half, Zuena Kirema is yet to appear on it's pay roll.
Straight from the horse's mouth: "New Series coming on NTV soon," Zari tweeted as she worked out in the Serena Hotel based Gymnasium where part of the filming was taking place. Interestingly, Zari is working hand in hand with Sylvia Owori on this show.
Strolling on the treadmill as she struggled to cram the scripts, Zari noted : "Working this TV for the awesome show soon on NTV with Sylvia doing her thing." It should also be noted that in the line of Reality TV shows, Bobi Wine has just had a name change from 'Omubanda Wa Kabaka' to 'Ghetto President Reality Show'.
It all started with a tweet from Zari, "Damn taxes hitting me hard in ma butt, revenue guys ain't sparing me. Eish! Ama sort it out as responsible citizen," followed by this: "Am hustling it out today no Eid lunch for me."
The above tweet meant that Zari was having a bad EID day due to tax issues which she promised to sort out pretty soon as a responsible citizen. Some of her followers had to tag URA into the conversation to at least look into her case and open the stores which had been closed.
A response from the official Uganda Revenue Authority twitter handle revealed that they had nothing to do with the operation that was carried out at Zari's stores. "We didn't sanction this operation but since she is alerting us we are going to check in her tax affairs."
Having nothing to do with the taxman, the landlord came into play. The stores must have been closed due to rent arrears, but like the boss lady says, she is going to sort it out.
Meanwhile, this is happening at the time when she is about to launch her latest store in Pretoria and yet, they(entire family) have just come back from the UK, which among others involved football training for her first born who turned 10 yesterday and another boy at the rate of £845 per child, may be rent wasn't top on the agenda...!
Socialite Zari and husband Ivan Semwanga are back to South Africa after their 'make-up' trip the UK that doubled as a holiday and football training for the kids at Manchester. However, given the photographic evidence before us, the celebrity couple does not care about the baggage allowances as they travel with a mountain of Louis Vuitton bags plus a couple of others too.
Before going to the UK, Ivan and Zari had issues but all that is now behind them. A few days back, the two were busy supervising construction works at one of their Brooklyn Colleges in Pretoria. Zari now says that her next destination will be; New York, Miami, Boston and Texas cum next month.
In one of her tweets a few days back, Zari revealed why she will not just let go off Ivan irrespective of what happens between them, "There comes a point when you just love someone, not because they're good, bad, or anything really. You just love them the way they are..!" So with those few words, nothing can come in between these two.
In a related development, Sharon O is right now in studio trying to make final touches to her latest track dubbed; Ani, we can't wait for the story behind the track.
Zari will do whatever she has to do or what it takes to have Ivan back in her life and this is what is happening now. The couple landed safely in UK on Sunday and are currently residing at a 4 Star Oxford Street hotel. Zari's tweet says it all and the husband is parked right at the very hotel where they are staying.
It's three days short of the time when Zari bumped into Ivan Semwanga with ex-BBA Star Sharon O feeling cozy, something that made her run wild and walking out of her relationship with the father of her three boys. These were her words then:
"We have been separated for a year and we both moved on. He is seeing Sharon O and a bunch of other gals while am dating one Man who doesn't want drama (I will keep his name safe). There was no fight as reported by tabloids......he just learnt that day am dating again."
Its now a new chapter. The couple has made up and are on holiday with their three boys. Zari and the last born are busy shopping while Ivan and the two big boys are exploring opportunities in Manchester United Academy.
Ivan lost his cool a few months back and warned one Jaksaw to stop writing stuff about him and his family but he later realised that Jaksaw only reproduces what has been written elsewhere, he decided to calm down, no wonder while in the UK, he had to pay him a courtesy visit. Meanwhile, in all this, Sharon O is left hanging.
After Zari has reclaimed what rightfully belongs to her, not forgetting the terrible tweets about her love life that meant she had moved on after finding true love, we can only feel sorry for Sharon. We are yet to see if Ronnie will forgive her afterall, he has done that before. While in the Big Brother Amplified house, Sharon told Vimbai that Ronnie had forgiven her not once but twice for cheating, so anything is possible.
Zari has been going through a lot lately after her hubby hooked Big Brother Amplified star, Sharon O, but looks like she has got a way around it. The mom of three has hit a tattoo studio once again and added more tattoo drawings in the area where the LK4 tattoo was. Talking to her close pals, Zari said: "It was painful but its all good now. Sexy luv handles, sexy view when I lay down."
The giant tattoo above Zari's stretch marks is meant to detract the eyes of her new lover, Jay from the LK4 tattoo that she tried to cover up last month but failed. Zari should be emulating her ex, LK4 who has tattoos all over his body with hardly any space left on his body.
Meanwhile, as part of her role as the 2013 Ambassador for the Miss Asia Pacific World, she is slated to travel to London, China, USA(Dallas). The socialite will come back to Uganda before wrapping up the year with South Korea.
One thing is for sure though, Zari seems to be happy with her new found love who even spices up their love with recipes if these words are anything to go by: "My boo gotta toss up seasonings before he cooks me a meal the same way Lebron tosses that baby powder before games..."
The issue of Sharon O has now taken yet another twist. Zari who is currently in South Africa was yesterday detained briefly before her young brother, Karim Hassan came to her rescue. The boss lady has been going through a lot lately from the time she bumped into Sharon O and hubby feeling cozy in a car.
Much as Zari in her statement claimed that they had talked with Sharon O and also blessed her to move on, it was actually the other way round. On finding the hubby and Sharon, The EX Big Brother star threatened to go public about it, but trust Zari, she had to be the one to let the world know even before Sharon O could gather herself.
The latest fight between Zari and Ivan that led to her being detained briefly stems from Ivan Semwanga's young brother, King Lawrence. This is the very guy that was so happy that his brother had got Nickita, the babe who eventually was given a BMW.
King Lawrence went an extra mile to even photoshop some customised number plate in the name of SHARON O and placed it on a grey Range Rover Sport just to hit at Zari. This is when Zari together with her gals went to attack Sharon and Ivan over the matter.
However, along the way, police was called in to quell the situation and Zari was arrested. Meawhile, as Zari was still in and her young brother Karim was trying to get her bail, King Lawrence was like; "Why even bother to get her out, leave her there, that's where she belongs."
Moments later, Zari was released and first on her agenda was to tell off King Lawrence. "Man you are g#y, and no am not locked up, stick to being his mushikaje (mukwasi wansawo ) as for me....sili ur business. Let Ivan worry abt me not you. Last I checked he is concerned abt my well being & his sons....luwuba empale mbu lulina say. Kuki, nga ani? Nga otandikidewa.....? Lmao", Zari said.
Talking to one of her sisters, Zari said that no matter how many girls he(King Lawrence) brings for his brother (Ivan), I'm going nowhere and I have a business with Ivan.
If you are a die hard fan of the Goodlyfe Crew, then you must be knowing one of their songs dubbed 'Lamborghini' which features Ivan and his orange beast.
In the song, the 2013 BET nominees sing about a babe who likes to drive a Lamborghini just like Ivan, that babe must have been Sharon O after Ivan's wife, Zari came out publicly to say that the 2011 Ugandan Big Brother All Stars rep was dating her husband.
One Kakensa pulled her leg that he is meant to understand that the Lamborghini has already been transferred to Sharon Nalukenge's name.
Zari was quick to respond: "Hahaha you think Ivan is that stupid, come on give that guy credit. He knows all these girls want money and he is good at his game. If they think they want to use him, they will end up being used.
That was not all, Zari assured him on how impossible it is for the Lambo to be transferred now that it bears South African registration plates. "By the way that car is on SA plates not UG for it to have any name changes, taxes should be paid, that's just wolox."
On the other hand, Sharon O has a response to Ronnie following his wishing her luck with the Sangoma. "No relationship is ever a waste of time. If it didn't bring you what you want, it taught you what you want," Sharon tweeted.
Meanwhile, as all this drama continues to unfold, Ivan has announced yet another package for the Uganda Cranes during their next match in Guinea come Sept 7, 2013. Ivan who will charter a private jet with 50 Ugandan fans from SA and his buddy King Lawrence will this time around reward the Uganda Cranes with Shs10m per goal scored.
Earlier today, Zari stated on her wall that, It was over between her and the father of her three boys and also went ahead to confirm that her ex hubby and Sharon O are dating. Zari went on to say that much as they had split, she was also not available because she is already dating someone.
Sharon O's Ronnie Mulindwa has been forced to speak out now that it's in the public domain they aren't together anymore.
"My intellect, my integrity, my loyalty, my devotion, my love, my care, my patience, my guidance through the years, my understanding and support can and will never be doubted nor questioned all has been availed without holding back. We can only be judged by our actions. Good luck, " Ronnie wrote.
Eagle's Production member, Mesach Semakula was among the first one's to console him with this post: "There are far better things ahead, take heart bro."
Meanwhile, as all this is going on, Ivan is busy inspecting construction works at one of his colleges in Pretoria and he says that "In 2014, we are going hard leaving all nonsense in 2013." Not so sure if Zari who is still getting to terms with what she saw over the weekend is part of the nonsense, but this is what she is telling galz out there:
"While some of you ladies are searching for a rich husband, I'm focusing on being a rich wife...lol"
Sharon O's Latest Tweet
"Sometimes when things are falling apart they may actually be falling into place.." Watch this space!
Socialite Zari and MAPW Ambassador has confirmed that she long split with the father of her three kids Ivan Ssemwanga and it has been a year now. Zari also added that she is seeing someone whose identity she can not reveal now though our sources reveal that her new found love goes by the name of Jay.
Back to the story of the day. "We have been separated for a year and we both moved on. He is seeing Sharon O and a bunch of other gals while am dating one Man who doesn't want drama (I will keep his name safe). There was no fight as reported by tabloids......he just learnt that day am dating again."
In her latest post, Zari seems to be okay with Sharon O and Ivan Ssemwanga dating at least from the way she summarizes it here: "As for Sharon she has been coming to SA and she has my blessing we had a talk because I did move on from Ivan. So lets not get anything twisted. Good morning," Zari concluded.
Zari's status indicates that she is single while at the end of last month, Sharon O's status changed to Complicated prompting her boy friend, Ronnie Mulindwa to change his status too to reflect 'Complicated' on Jun 01, 2013, now you know why. Rumour has it that Ivan has gone ahead to buy a mansion for Sharon O in Munyonyo.
Like Zari says, they've been separated for a year and somehow they had chosen to keep this on the low but this is what sparked Zari's latest actions. Last Saturday, Zari got wind of the fact that Sharon O was in there area code down South and as she trailed the hubby, the 'Ambassador' landed on the hubby with Sharon O......!
And these words followed: "Ivan, Thank you for ruining what was best for me, I hope you gain from it with your selfish ways…..." Meanwhile, a few days back, Ivan was rumoured to be celebrating a baby gal in the bun, could it be Sharon! Watch this space!
"We, the Miss Asia Pacific World Super Talent Committee, do hereby appoint Ms Zarinah (a leading figure in the music, fashion, glamour entertainment business in AFRICA) as the International Ambassador and Mentor of The Miss Asia Pacific World Super Talent Endeavour 2013.
That is Zari's latest portfolio as seen from the appointment letter dated (09.Jun.2013). The appointment letter signed by Lawrence Choi, the Founder and President of Miss Asia Pacific (STC) adds that:
"We are confident that she would be able to properly promote our International pageant and be available on the schedule of the dates for our screening and all other promotions around the world."
The pageant will be held in October and Uganda will be represented by Stella Nankya, a fashion designer based in South Africa.
Season 8 of Big Brother Africa kicked off on a sad note for Zari's husband, Ivan Ssemwanga. Apparently, the South African based tycoon was all seated at his crib following the show, but the moment the second housemate was called out, he developed goose bumps.
Pokello from Zimbabwe was the first one to be called on stage and when she chose a guy to walk with to the house, it was none other than basketball star, Isaac Lugudde aka LK4 who happens to be the tycoon's rival. All he did at that moment was to switch his telly to a movie dubbed 'Temptations' which is about a young couple having problems in their marriage.
"Chillin in ma cinema room watching Temptations by Tyler Perry", Ivan tweeted to express his disapproval.
A few months back, Zari and hubby split for a few months before getting back together, but during the time of their split, Zari hooked basketball star Isaac Lugudde who kisses and tells. Isaac told whoever cared to know that the mom of three was a tigress in bed.
Isaac is now in the Big Brother house after dating a socialite and Africa at large and Uganda in particular will have to keep their eyes on the multi-tattooed guy to see if he can take up Gaetano's position of the 'Best Ugandan representative' ever in Biggie's house.
Meanwhile, Zari's rate of tweeting has reduced from the time the news leaked that LK4 was to rep Uganda in the Big Brother House.
Related: Zari Gets Lugudde LK4 Tattoo Removed
SOCIALIST Zari Hassan has thrown a lavish birthday party for her mom Halima Sultan Hassan sealing off a section at luxurious Serena Hotel in Kampala. The 32-year-old and her hubby Ivan Ssemwanga flew in from South Africa for the birthday event on Saturday (18May13) that saw a dozen close friends and family enjoy a constant flow of red wine and cake.
A source tells UgandaOnline.Net that the amount of champagne that went into the room was just enough to spoil Zari's friends and mom. Ivan was seen handing a present to his mother-in-law. Zari who went back yesterday could not hide her excitement after the birthday bash. "Had a great evening celebrating mom's Bday. Love her lots. Thanks."
Zari has just undergone painful sessions of laser treatment just to get her ex's initial off her right upper leg. This comes at the backdrop of a message Isaac Lugudde aka LK-4 wrote on his wall. "You post all of your drama on facebook..then get upset when people judge you? You must be a special kind of Stupid.!"
Zari followed with this post: "Feeling sorry for that 1 damn a##hole who thinks his thoughts about u have to pop up on his timeline. Haven't u moved on yet? Its clear not! Am a million kms ahead, I see a brother still in the same spot crying over spilled milk. Its spilled, period. Get on mentally too now. Lol"
Zari is cementing her reconciliation with Ivan, the father of her three boys by removing the retired basketball star's initials from her pelvic area. Zari had an affair with Isaac Lugudde, and as a way of cherishing his love, she under went the ink pain just for him.
"Loving my new cover up tat....once it's done all the past will be covered. I should never stoop low & stupid like that again....," Zari said. Meanwhile, much as she has tried to cover it, the initials are still visible. Tattoos are permanent and relationships are not, we hope in future, Zari won't add other lovers on her body.
A friend told her: "Lesson learnt Ivan is good Dad and husband, cut the side dishes aka 'bupwachipwachi' out.
Guilty as Charged. Madam Orange Limo was smoked out sporting a fake Christian Louboutin shoe. When Zari saw the red sole, she rushed for the discounted shoe thinking it was from Italy but in the end, this was an original shoe from China at least going by the heels.
The top most beautiful socialite will go an extra mile in looking trendy and with a limo in her parking lot, $800 for an original CL shoe should not be a problem, thus the conclusion, she was conned. Zari cannot be blamed much because an authentic pair has 'Made in Italy', 'Christian Louboutin' and the shoe size in EUR at the bottom.
On the fake ones, the 'madeinitaly' is one word and if you are not so observant, that is how you fall in the trap.
The socialite was yesterday checking on her bankers down in South Africa but she still managed to show off a slew of her sexy looks and the fierce footwear stole the show much as its winter.
Zari made her way to the bank but trust the 32-year-old, she still found time for some admirable outfit and boots which must have left the bank manager licking his lips all the way. "Sexy self at my bank Manager's office." Zari noted as she showed off her grey body hugging outfit n boots.
Zari was last here during the Mr. Vegas Street Jam show but things didn't go down well with the dad of her three children, Ivan Ssemwanga leading to some altercation of sorts that subsequently led to her missing out on the Badilisha concert. Zari is Chameleone's fan to the point that missing his launch was the last thing she could think of.
During Chameleone's Valu Valu concert, Zari and JH fought for the limelight to show off who had more financial clout but with Zari missing from the Badilisha concert, Judith Heard just grabbed herself a canon camera and assumed the job of a paparazzi to try and make an extra buck.
Tycoon Ivan Ssemwanga and his wife Zari took a commercial break from their relationship and decided to move separate ways. During that time, Ivan hooked light skinned Nickita (pictured above) while Zari teamed up with basket ball star, Isaac Lugudde who did some justice to her 'boiled goodies'.
The lovers later got back together after exploring and quenching their thirst on what they thought was missing from their ten-year-old affair. The two, Isaac and Nickita lost out on the love but gained in one way or the other. Isaac got some good amount of cash from Zari though charges of theft were preferred against him.
When you're friends with loaded Ivan, you get the best gifts. A BMW 335i is what Nickita got for leaving foot prints in Ivan's heart. This was further confirmed when a one Jalil expressed interest in buying the posh ride, but Ivan simply told him of how he had already given it out as a gift to someone.
This comes at a time when cracks are developing in their relationship once again. They recently had a misunderstanding after Ivan suspected that his wife was having some quality time with Jamaican star, Mr. Vegas. One of Zari's latest tweets that she shared on her affair reads in part:
"Relationships are like glass. Sometimes It's better to leave them broken than to hurt yourself putting it back together!" She adds: You can literally miss out on Mr. Right by waiting too long for Mr. Wrong to get right! Let him go!
Cycling is fun and healthy and that's exactly what tycoon Ivan Ssemwanga did last Saturday at Kololo Airstrip during the Auto Show Exhibition. He was joined by his wife Zari who was riding an old scooty bike as they engaged in a competition of sorts.
The Auto Show had different players ranging from Bikers, Ambulances, Vintage cars and so on but now that these guys have seen it all when it comes to bikes, they instead found their fun elsewhere.
Ivan was riding the 'Gaali Hero' bike like Beckham though you could clearly see him losing his stability following the booze that was in his system courtesy of the previous night's Tycoon Swag Party that was held at Club Venom where he sponsored the open bar. Its amazing to see that he could balance on a cycle a few hours later.
Three of their cars were part of the fleet that were exhibited at the UG Auto Show - Kololo Airstrip Independence grounds.
Socialite Zari and her husband Ivan Ssemwanga together with their three boys came to Uganda for their Easter holidays and have been around since then. Zari took off time and went to Katanga slum where she knelt and served the kids with lunch and also donated various gift items.
Last Friday was the Tycoon Swag Party at Club Venom that saw Ivan declare an open bar that led some babes to crawl home. On Saturday morning, Zari was able to convince Clifford Smith, better known as Mr. Vegas to go and do some shopping at her Men's store, The Renaissance Man located at Garden City.
The two then proceeded to Oasis Complex next to Garden city where they bought some candy from Nakumatt supermarket. This is what Zari does best. Somehow she gets a moment with all the stars that come to town like the P-square duo from Nigeria, P-Unit from Kenya who were here last month and now Mr. Vegas.
Meanwhile, Ivan and Zari's cars that included a Lamborghini, Hummer and Chrysler were hired out for the Auto show exhibition at Kololo Air strip that ends today.
South African based Ugandan socialite, Zari was in town last week together with hubby and as usual had fun doing what they do best, 'Kulya Kash'. She attended the WARID Woman of Substance awards at Serena Hotel and also graced the Club Rouge 9th Anniversary party.
The couple is fond of spending like there is no tomorrow, but on this particular visit, the spending was on low key prompting rumours that the couple had become broke. Zari laughed this off saying that those who hardly know you say a lot before posting a pic of all her cars with these words: ''Don't Hate, Be Inspired''
A few hours later, she unleashed a black twin-turbo V8 Porsche Cayenne valued at $48,850 before tax. This has left many in the Gauteng Province in shock with the rate at which she changes cars like strings. ''Went shopping today waiting for my personalized GP plates." Zari confirmed on her wall.
In the last three months, Zari has been making headlines with Ivan's Lamborghini but this time around, she wants ZARI -GP initials on the registration plates for the Cayenne. In one of the reviews for the Cayenne S model, it's far better than a Range Rover Sport. "It gets to 62mph in 5.7seconds, reasonable fuel consumption and the cabin wraps around the driver.
Barbara Itungo Kyagulanyi aka Barbie - has Bobi Wine's portrait inked on her back followed by the word forever. This is another way of saying; I will love you forever and ever. A few months back, there were rumours doing the rounds that the couple was on the verge of breaking up but Barbie came up and said what she uttered 12 years back that she is here to stay.
Bad Black - Then came Bad Black who was better referred to as Mad Black by the way she used to spend before her source of dime came to the lime light. Bad Black was in love with Meddie and felt that the best way to prove her love was to ink her body with Meddie's name.
Bad Black dashed to a fake tattoist who simply used a marker to come up with a fake tattoo and got quite an amount. Shanita later identified an authentic source that inked Meddie's name on her back. Meddie is still in jail though and Bad Black is a fugitive suspected to be in Malaysia. It's not clear if that huge tattoo on her back still exists as the two fell out badly.
Others with tattoos include: Juliana Kanyomozi on her arm with name inscriptions of her dad, Gerald and her son Keron. In her latest profile on NTV, you can see Maurice Ochol caressing it in admiration.
Zari's Tattoo - Is a combination of 10 stars and initials of her three sons PDQ - Pinto, Didy and Quincy plus one of a coloured flower on her legs. Other tattoos on her body, Isaac Lugudde might be of help here.
Isaac Lugudde - The Big Brother hopeful has so many tattoos on his body that there's hardly any space left though he says, should he go to the Big Brother House, he will add more tattoos to do with Big Brother Africa.
A few months back when Lugudde was still dating Zari, he put 'The Boss Lady' tattoo on his ribs followed by a verse from the bible Gen 2:18 which says that: "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him." but the two have since split and moved on with Zari bouncing back to the father of her three kids as Lugudde hooked up with a one Cynthia.
Zari recently shared hot pics exposing her butt in a swim suit which turned out to be relatively smaller to what folks were used to at least going by some of the comments below:
"Zari your body has disappointed me. I thought you had wide hips and a bigger butt? I'm totally disappointed in you Zari for lying to me."
"God un-earthes secrets!!!Kumbe its artificial bums we have been seeing all along??..."
"This time around you had no chance to wear your bum extension,You should also thank the swimming costume for holding your tummy firm enough for your showbiz as usual.."
Zari wasted no time in retrieving one of those shots when she was still a force to reckon in those matters. The mother of three attributed the change to the weight-loss diet she embarked on sometime back.
She confirmed this on her wall: "When I was fat people talked, lost weight people are still talking claiming I removed bum implants...Jesus what's a gal to do?"
Socialite Zari and her three boys went ice skating for fun but unfortunately for her, she is now nursing minor injuries after dropping hard on her knees. Zari saw her boys doing the sport with ease so she decided to give it a shot.
It was not easy for the leggy mom of three who did move on ice for seconds before falling hard. She resorted to what she does best, tweeting and this is what she had to say:
"Ice skating isn't for everyone...lol This was a bad idea. My boys and bro enjoyed themselves while I fell hard, I gave up and just decided to watch them" Zari has vowed not to stay away from ice skating to the time she perfects.
It's not the first time Zari is getting caught up in similar situations. Last December, she was dancing with her high-heels trying out all sorts of latest strokes she could manage but the heel gave way sending her to the floor.
Ice skating can be done for various reasons that may include health benefits and leisure among others. Zari definitely tried the sport for leisure purposes but ended up paying heavily.
Meanwhile, It's not clear if it was the fall or the weather that let her nipples point in that tight top.
Friends and relatives to Michael Kasirye, socialite Zari Hassan's former bodyguard have reported a case of a missing person with Jinja road police station. Kalisimaati as he was fondly called by pals was last seen at Zari's All White Party at Guvnor last year.
"It's over a month now since we last heard of Michael and to make matters worse, all his known lines are off," a family source said. Kalisimaati used to work at the Centenary based BBQ Lounge until November 2012.
Kalisimaati was one of Zari's most trusted bouncers, but during the night of the White Party, he received a call which he had to attend to from a less noisy area, so he chose to go outside the dancing hall. That was the last time he was seen until today.
Police is now appealing to whoever has any information leading to his whereabouts to come out and help as they carry out investigations in the hunt for Michael Kasirye.
Zari and Ivan left the country this morning after a four-day visit that saw Zari stock her Garden City based stores with Valentine wear and assorted gift items.
Socialite ZaHa is in town to re-stock her Garden city based Zari Jewels and The Renaissance Man stores as part of preparations for Valentine's day.
Zari jetted into the country on Friday and straight on hit Guvnor though she was careful this time not to fall with her high heels as she did the gangnam style. The socialite spent a greater part of Saturday stocking her stores with latest outfits.
The Renaissance Man was stocked with latest designer suits for men, Jeans plus urban style mens wrist watches. Zari Jewels has been stocked with the best Valentine's gifts for 'Her' and for the ladies, The Renaissance Man can be your one stop for Valentine's day gift ideas.
Zari Jewels and the Renaissance Man are located at Garden City basement on Yusuf Lule road.
Facebook is a social network that connects people with friends, and others who work, live and study around them. It has now introduced a graph search facility that allows you to search for posts, pictures and music that your friends like.
But behind all that, there is a group of people that need to be recognized on facebook and Zari prefers to call them obsessed fans and confused admirers otherwise haterz. Last Saturday, Ivan was swimming with his three boys in their home based swimming pool. He decided to share the moment with his friends on facebook.
This got comments trickling in instantly with some accusing Ivan of showing off and others saying that was 'Amaalo' aka local swagg. Zari was alerted by her dolls that 'Omwami' bamutta. Zari grabbed her cell and came to Ivan's rescue who was still getting to terms with what he thought were friends only to post hate comments.
On Zari chipping in, she told one obsessed fan who had referred to their house as very lousy that: "Go ahead and also buy a 6 bedroom house with a pool, entertainment area cinema and then you also refer to that as local swagg." This is my family you are talking about ebilala I don't care but my family obolina kyonoonya.
Socialite Zari is just not about to run out of ideas. Last Month, she hit a bridal shop in South Africa to shop for a wedding gown which left many excited but as it turned out, she used the dress during her White Party that was held at Guvnor on December 27, 2012.
Zari simply detached the 2in1 wedding dress and hit the club. Again its not clear what was going on here but chances are their wedding was called off following the rocks that hit their affair to the extent of coming out and saying that she was not getting married and not in luv with anyone. Using a wedding gown at an All White Party simply leaves a lot ot be desired.
The year 2013 is different for the couple as they have taken their Public Display of Affection to another level. During the boat cruise, Zari almost 'mounted' Ivan on the boat as they celebrated their rekindled love.
Ivan Ssemwanga and Zari's wedding date might not be so much of an issue like bringing the Lamborghini to Kampala was but one thing is for sure, they've learnt that in love you do not only gaze at each other but you also look in the same direction together.
Socialite Zari and former super model Judith Heard were once enemies but looks like part of their new year's resolution was to make up and looking at how events have been unfolding since the past one week, the former enemies are now best of friends.
Judith Heard has been in the US but she made sure the new year finds her in Uganda. Just a few weeks back we revealed how the two still had issues following remarks that were made by JH over Zari's posing right on top of the orange Lambo before it was shipped to Uganda.
The last Saturday of the year, the two, Zari and JH met at the Guvnor dance floor with Zari as the best dancer that night now that she had parked a lamborghini which was perceived as a stunt before it was shipped into the country.
As the two were busy enjoying the video mixing and shaking what their mama's gave them, Zari who was already high fell hard on the dance floor, but before she could get down, she tried to get some support from JH who unfortunately could not handle Zari's weight, thus ending down.
Zari later in her tweet attributed the fall to the dance moves they pulled. "Judithheard those dance moves we pulled at Guvnor led to a hard fall damn ma sexy behind is in pain. I landed on it hope your ok gal."
Judith Heard simply asked the team at Guvnor to do something about the slippery floor and she was worried that at the rate, they won't have any bones left.
American television personality and recording artist Nicole Scherzinger did a stunning photo shoot with a Lamborghini Diablo last year. Just a few days back, Kenya's busiest Jomo Kenyata International Airport (JKIA) was clearing Ivan Ssemwanga's Lamborghini.
As expected Zari was quick at doing what she does best of course with both the vertical doors wide open. Nicole Scherzinger was captured doing the same thing but she did not seem bothered by the doors.
Kenya's rapper also former Big Brother All Stars representative recently relocated to Nigeria and bought an apartment to join his lover Goldie Harvey. Prezzo was seen posing next to a Lambo with both doors open while in Nigeria.
His Gal friend, Goldie equally left the Lambo doors open and we are now wondering if posing next to a Lambo without opening the doors makes it less of a Lamborghini. Goldie and Prezzo took their pics using the same Lambo that was allegedly used in a video shoot.
Zari and Ivan won the award of best dressed couple during the Konvicted to Fashion Celebrity party held at Guvnor a few days back. They beat Chameleone and Daniella, Barbie and Bobi Wine. Club Rouge's Nickita and Gareth were in the competition too.
Zari later hit the dance floor leaving hubby Ivan behind as he sat back relaxing with his other pals and Zari's sister, Zaitun. Galz kept on cat walking right by Ivan just to grab his attention.
One daring babe who we identified as Yvone Vivian, a close pal to Gift ov Kaddo came and sat next to Ivan and started showing him some pics and messages off her smart phone. This forced Zari's sister to ask her leave immediately.
On realizing that Zaitun was serious, Vivian took off for her dear life while hurling all sorts of insults that forced Zaitun to pour water on her. Vivian retaliated by pouring wine on Zaitun. It was t this point that Zari looked at their booth and realised it was on fire, so she rushed to rescue her sister.
Its now official socialite Zari and Hubby are back together as a couple. The two were last seen at Guvnor during the 2nd Anniversary celebrations last Friday and just yesterday, they were at Kim Swagga's convicted 2 Fashion party at Ange-Noir..
These two lovers share a number of things together including secret passwords to their social networks which explains how Zari came to land on nude pics sent to Ivan during the time they had separated.
Not shocking at all bearing in mind that Ivan had hooked a gal for himself and Zari had equally moved on. However, other galz who wanted a piece of Ivan and have admired Zari's lifestyle were quick to send their CV's for Ivan to browse through.
As Zari was making her routine check on Ivo's account like she normally does; she landed on saucy pictures of hot curvy babes who had sent through their CV's to her tycoon hubby Ivan Ssemwanga.
Now that Zari had got ID's for the gals who were like six in total, she invited them for an online chat over the matter. Zari who saw no point of sharing the nude pics to her followers told off one of them to at least put on a bra because her boobs were not the type to be paraded just like that.
The exchange was so bitter that we cannot reproduce the messages here. It's funny how what is private finds its way to the public.
Forget the lamborghin's for a short while. A group of orphans in Kalerwe received early christmas when Zari paid them a visit with lots of christmas goodies. Zari who went with her three kids took rice, matooke(bananas), footballs and several bags of posho among others that put a smile on the God's Will Orphans located in Kalerwe.
"God is great, spent my day at God's Grace Orphanage in Kalerwe and had so much fun. I'm happy to have made their X-mas season different." Zari tweeted. Last year Zari Donated Items Worth Shs 4Million to an Orthodox church in Kanyanya.
As part of her charity activities, Zari has visited the women in Luzira prison and donated sanitary towels, toilet papers and diapers to their babies. Zari moves with her kids to ensure that they pick a thing or two from her benevolence acts.
South African based socialite Zari Hassan and her on and off Hubby Ivan Ssemwanga are in town. The couple was last seen at Guvnor locking hands during the second anniversary celebrations.
It's eleven days to Zari's All White Party and fourteen days to Ivan's First Ever Boat Cruise that will see free food and booze flowing all day and night. The dress code for the white party is strictly white and for the boat cruise bikini will do.
The charge for the All White Party is 30k for all. Regarding the boat-cruise, the 200 women won't part with any penny but the men will have to pay 100,000. This will entitle them to the full view of the Jamaican booty shakers on board. The number of the gals required on the boat has since been increased to 200 due to public demand.
While in Kampala, the couple will also clear their orange lambo that is being shipped in by air from South Africa to Uganda. However, from what we've gathered, the Lamborghini might end up doing more of a car photo shoot than being driven around.
Ivan was a few days driving a Hummer to his upcountry home, but at some point, he parked it saying that the road was so bumpy. Now what will happen to the Lamborghini whose ground clearance is 5cm.
The first Lamborghini to hit Kampala potholes is expected in two weeks time courtesy of tycoon Ivan Semwanga. This is the second Lamborghini to his fleet that he says will be for use in Uganda only.
Zari who is yet to get her Rolls Royce for having Gotten Back to Ivan says she is on top of her game and loving it as she posed right on top of their orange Lambo. Zari confirmed that the orange Lamborghini will be flown to Uganda by next Friday and will be parked right by her stores at Garden City the following week.
Zari's dolls can't wait to at least sit in the ride, take photos with it when it eventually shows up at Garden City based Zari Jewels and The Renaissance Man. The Lamborghin has a low ground clearance of about 5 inches and certainly not designed for our roads, may be this one in particular will be raised.
The colour of the Lamborghini leaves some space for another ride bearing in mind that The Zari All White Party is around the corner implying that we could see a white or creme Rolls Royce that matches the theme colour.
Tycoon Ssemwanga is also behind the First Ever Boat Cruise that will see money, booze and babes as the order of the cruise. Now with Bad Black bowing down honourably, we are yet to see what moves those vying for Zari's platform in the social circles will do to outshine her.
If Judith Heard and Zari were men, they could be best of friends by now having put their differences aside and forged a way forward but being that they are ladies, the game rotates around undermining each other to win.
Judith Heard and Isaac Lugudde are close buddies but from the time Isaac got so close to Zari that even had to put 'The Zari Boss Lady' tattoo on his ribs, this did not amuse her a single bit and since then, she has been getting to terms with it.
A few days back, Zari dumped Isaac to reunite with hubby Ivan Ssemwanga. This has got JH's twitter account busy from the US where she is on holiday with the rest of her family.
Below are some of the tweets: "Intelligence is sexy and shows confidence. Don't act stupid to get attention. That sh*t isn't cute, its just annoying."
"Don't wish for publicity before u know what it's gonna do to u Naye Ojakuba bulungi u wanted news now u hot it. Enjoy the light hehehe"
"Sweetheart when u put your business in the public yes it will be our entertainment, so don't cry saying oh why is this happing hahaha"
As Christmas is fast approaching, Bad Black is out of prison, Zari and Ivan Ssemwanga have reunited as a couple, exchanged Christmas gifts already to celebrate their rekindled love. The couple has gone ahead to share their latest photo together with Zari seated right on top of Ivan's office desk.
This was followed by very many messages from friends and well wishers who were happy for them. Ivan's close pal, King Lawrence said that he could actually contribute Shs200m if the two were to wed.
It should be recalled that Zari was a few days back trying on a wedding dress in one of the bridal shops down South so it does not surprise if Zari was giving Ivan an update on whether the dress was just right or they needed to try elsewhere.
In the same vein, it will not be surprising if the couple is planning to wed this very year now that Zari has even dumped the basket ball player and told whoever cared to know that Its now official, she is not dating Isaac Lugudde.
Ivan and Zari have three boys and the two have been together for about 12 years. Zari introduced Ivan to her parents home in Munyonyo a day before Christmas in December 2011. The couple was forced to make up at least before that anniversary date bearing in mind that the introduction ceremony was one of a kind with all sorts of gifts in form of cars, cows, cash being passed on to Zari's parents.
In August, the couple split with Zari citing domestic violence. During the break, the two were able to hook up somehow. Zari was with the basketball player as Ivan hooked up Nickita who looked more or less like Zari.
Their in-laws were able to reconcile both parties putting an end to all those babes that were strategizing on hooking up with Ivan.
The couple has now put their differences aside and are about to hit town to coordinate their respective events. Zari is organizing the The All White Party at Guvnor while Ivan is behind the First Ever Boat Cruise that will have over 200 booty-full babes boarding the boat cruise for free.
South African based socialite Zari Hassan has been trying out her wedding gown and practising how to walk with it ahead of her day that is yet to be announced. Insider sources say, it should be before X-mas this year though Zari is still tight lipped.
With her controversial love life, It was unfair for her to start off the cat-walk rehearsals before setting the record straight on whether it was Ivan or the basket ball player, Issac Lugudde. This forced her to tweet what she is terming as an official statement on the Ivan-Isaac saga that has left many confused.
"Am not getting married neither I'm I dating Lugudde! My apologies to all parties involved! My kids and work r my priorities." This statement could not go unchallenged as far as the basket baller is concerned but Zari swiftly defended herself.
"We did date a while but as of now I'm setting the record straight", Zari replied to one concerned follower on twitter. Isaac Lugudde was quick at thanking Zari for having cleared the space but his next line left a lot to be desired.
"No need for apologies, PLZ just don't mention my name in ur tweets! Damnnnnn. It's funny how people get used and played in the name of "attention" but it is what it is! Life goes on! lol"
Recently, Isaac got The Boss Lady tattoo on his ribs, still has a wide collection of steamy pics with Zari but all this is fast turning into memories. The former exes, Zari and Ivan are now busy promoting and supporting each other on their forthcoming events.
Zari is behind the Zari All White Party to be held at Guvnor on the 27.Dec.2012 and three days later, it will be the first ever boat cruise by Ivan Semwanga that will take off at Gaba with tycoons paying 1m, Ordinary for men 100,000 and free for the hot bikini babes.
Last month we broke the story of how Zari was to Start her Own Magazine and now in her own words Zari says: "Planning on a magazine come 2013, fashion, lifestyle, health, beauty tips, inspiring stories, counselling and so much more."
The name Zari is not as common as John or Michael and that is how the magazine passes to becalled ZARI otherwise had it been called either of the above names, then it would sound like all John's and Michael's own it.
Since Zari is her name, some critics were quick to ask whether this is another avenue to talk about herself, but the socialite was quick to say that: "It's not about me, Its a public magazine, It will have nothing about "Zari" except the name which is the brand, even the cover page models won't be me."
Through her wall, Zari was inviting for ideas on what to feature in the magazine and this was one of the responses: "There should be a kids corner and something that addresses the community instead of having skimpy dressed use women, you should highlight issues like domestic violence, ritual murders, corruption, poor road network, the decreasing reading culture and if possible help or partner with some rural community libraries so that they can implement their plans, adult literacy etc."
The African Woman Magazine was one of the best magazines in town but now that it's off the news stands, we only hope the ZARI magazine will be able to bridge the gap now that Sylvia and Zari are close buddies.
This year has seen Zari do more of investing starting with Zari Jewels, The Renaissance Man (Men's Suits) and now the ZARI Magazine with its inaugural issue expected in March 2013.
Today is 'November Thanksgiving Day' in the USA which is celebrated every fourth Thursday of November in remembrance of the pilgrims and to give thanks. Isaac Lugudde is equally celebrating this holiday having been in the US for a greater part of his tender life.
In his message Isaac wrote: "I'm so thankful to those that continuously hold me up and have my back, front and side." These included family, basketball teammates and his ex-wife among others. "My ex-wife regardless of what, the love is still there and my prayers go out to you in your trying time."
The basketballer left out Zari on the list but its understandable at least going by what he tweeted shortly after; "I'm in a happy relationship with a lot of ups and downs! Happy: emotionally being on a rollercoaster but on it with a person you love."
Now Zari managed to miss the Sean Paul Concert but sneaked into the country to check on Isaac to be sure all was well following his two page interview with pics of them holding and kissing in the mighty Red Pepper. She flew back to South Africa after two days but during that time, she was 'undercover' and it was only Isaac Lugudde and a few of her dolls in her circles that learnt of her being around.
On December 27, Zari has organised the Zari All White Party which Ivan Semwanga, the father of Zari's 3kidz has confirmed to attend but we are only watching that space because Isaac Lugudde(with a boss lady tattoo on his ribs) will also be in attendance at Guvnor on that day.
Its not clear if Ivan will come with Nickita because it looks like she is equally not happy as Ivan is on rampage. First he advertises for single ladies to contact him on behalf of his single and searching friend 'King' and being that he is loaded and doing 'Abanonya' of sorts, single ladies are flooding his inbox.
On the other hand, Zari has been invited for the boat cruise that is being organised by Ivan but she has distanced herself from that function that threatens to be a beauty contest with 'Ogas' dishing out dollars Nigerian style to the best gals that look nice in swim-suits.
Singer Iryn Namubiru Morel has spoken out after being battered by ex hubby last Sunday and she is now on the same page with Zari of denouncing domestic violence.
Commenting from Paris, Iryn wrote on her wall: "No no no noooooooo to domestic violence. Most especially by someone whose life you haven't been sharing for over 4 years. No to death threats. No to domestic violence. One can die in less than a minute."
Apparently, Iryn and hubby separated over four years back but she has tried to keep it a top secret until last Sunday when she nearly met her creator at Gare Du Nord Train Station.
Their case is before Court that is yet to decide on who takes custody of the kids who are currently with the 'Nabulo' singer. Iryn had travelled to Holland for a short holiday with the kids but her ex Frank Morel hadn't known of the trip, instead he thought that Iryn had taken off with the kids and that's why he reacted that way.
In September, Iryn filled two cases of domestic violence against her husband. The first one was on Sept 12 and less than two weeks later, Iryn dashed to report another case.
Morel wants Iryn to be with him and the kids in France but Iryn has her music career that she equally loves and would now rather dump him for good with the beating that has been upgraded to neck squeezing.
Meanwhile, Zari sends out her love to Iryn during the hard times..talk of birds of the same feathers flocking together. Zari has just had her share of a beating and she could be the best person to advise Iryn as of now.
After UBC suspending her reality show following the steamy kiss they had on a boat cruise with one top fashionista, Zari has devised other means of living her fabulous lifestyle after taking over Bad Black's space.
We told of how in-laws from all sides held a meeting to reconcile the two parties after both Zari and Ivan had moved on. The meeting that was held at Serena Hotel ended and all those that attended were convinced the couple was set to make up.
The memory of Ivan holding Nickita's boob only makes matters worse. The couple had made up but when Zari recalled the Nickita boob saga, the beating and the suffering she had been through all these years, tried out life without Ivan, she said 'mbe nze ndobye' meaning that she was not going back.
This forced Ivan to come up with an offer of a Rolls Royce if she accepted to come back to his life. A Rolls Royce is estimated at close to a billion shillings before taxes. The problem is that when it comes to rides, Zari has seen it all so you need to try out other tricks and not cars. Zari has a Chrysler, AudiQ7, Range Rover Sport, Merc and occasionally drives Ivan's Lamborghini.
In her latest message, Zari says: "Forgiving and forgetting is the 1st step to healing and moving on. We will remain great parents, business partners, friends and wish the public to respect our space during this time."
It looks like a 'joking subject' but the house is on fire. You all remember when Ivan invited friends for Zari's birthday at Guvnor only to turn out that the birthday gal was down in South Africa.
Now more shocking info just coming in is that once Zari accepts Ivan back to her life(If she says YES), she will not only get a Rolls Royce but their wedding will be held before the year end, just like was the case with their introduction ceremony last year. Watch this Space!
Zari is back with the All White Party that will see revellers dressed in white from head to toe and the entry fee will be 30k.
This will be a Champagne and bling packed night. Zari's stores at Garden City are already stocking trendy white outfits, white gold and bling that revellers could buy to fit the dress code for the night.
The party will be held at Guvnor on the 27.Dec.2012. The couple that made up a few days after a bitter split have started off their love journey on a new page and its a Rolls Royce for Zari should she say YES to Ivan's proposal.
Ivan has already proposed in style and If the response from Zari is a YES, then a Rolls Royce will follow at least to compensate for the beating and the bad blood that has been brewing between the two lovers.
She is still thinking about it though. Its highly likely she will say yes and being creme in colour, she could use it during the All White Party at Guvnor next month.
Related: Zari and Ivan Back Together after Family Meeting
Following a family meeting held at Serena Hotel last Monday, the celebrity couple that had taken a break four months back is now on kissing terms and back together leaving basketball player Isaac and soupy Nickita heart broken.
It's not clear if the reasons that led to the break up have been fully resolved but what we know for now is that after the Monday meeting with in-laws from both parties, Ivan and Zari agreed to work things out and their first night together was yesterday in South Africa.
The couple was all over each other like new lovers who had just met on a night out. Zari tweeted that: "Just touched SA base oba UG yandoga, miss it mob already but miss ma kids more so no regrets....."
The news of the break-up was a shocker to many who had known this couple for the last 12 years and bearing in mind that Ivan had spent over a billion shillings on their introduction ceremony in Munyonyo last year, it was shocking to many.
During the short break, Isaac Lugudde was assuming Ivan's shoes by hobnobbing with Zari while Ivan hooked a one Nickita whose skin complexion was exactly like that of Zari, meaning that much as she was gone, he still needed her in his life.
Ivan has always been a laid back person but when Zari's picture with Lugudde leaked, he came out of his shell and started spending like there was no tomorrow. This was money that he could have otherwise been spending on Zari but because of the Lugudde issue, he decided to give it out in a 'KiNigerian' style.
For now Nickita can officially step aside as a side dish as the couple fastens their seat belts for bumpy rides.
South African based Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan will early next year start her own magazine after getting a few tips from best female friend Sylvia Owori of the collapsed African Woman Magazine.
This is after opening up two fashion shops, Zari Jewels and The Renaissance Man located at Garden City basement. Now the latest info coming in is that 'The Boss Lady' is setting up a publishing empire through her magazine that will feature fashion trends, beauty and make-up tips among others.
With the first issue expected to hit the news stands in Feb 2013, Zari is in the country soliciting for the best team that will see Ugandans witness another glossy magazine like African Woman.
Zari split with hubby Ivan Ssemwanga four months back and since then, the socialite has been busy opening up businesses under her name and paying less attention to the projects they started as a couple. Zari thinks of her shops more than the Apollo Kaggwa hotel which is under construction.
Meanwhile, Ivan Ssemwanga has given his new catch Nickita his BMW personalized with (IVAN8) plates and he is currently on the lookout for a house for his beau..!
What a boob! Tycoon Ssemwanga was caught in a pose similar to that of his ex Zari and new lover Isaac Lugudde.
Nickita is Ivan's new lover
Basketballer Isaac Lugudde is hobnobbing with Socialite Zari.
Ardent followers of soaps should by now be comparing scenes in their favourite soap operas after the Ivan-Zari split which is now turning out to be dramatic. First it was the leaked photo of Isaac and Zari but in a manner that left many wondering how one could rest his arm on a woman's boob who is not his wife and yet a mother of three.
It was not long before Ivan Ssemwanga otherwise Zari's ex with new catch only identified as Nickita were smoked out from Serena Hotel. Photos to that effect are featuring on the front page of our gallery.
What is disturbing though is the picture of Ivan holding Nickita's boob and azz as he spoke on his cell phone. Could this be in retaliation to that of Isaac holding Zari's boob!
Meanwhile, in one of Zari's latest posts, it's not clear whether it's aimed at Isaac or Ivan but the message is certainly for one of them. "Man up for ur actions n stop bullshitin' n trashin' me#Coward! Real men stand up for their actions n take blame as it only shapes em n turns em into better species#real talk."

As you are busy getting to terms with the Zari-Lugudde issue snoops have landed on exclusive pictures of tycoon Ivan Ssemwanga and his new catch only identified as Nickita.
The couple was spotted at Serena Hotel with Nickita showing some of her hot pics to Ivan off her smartphone and in another, the couple was acting like they were on honeymoon with Ivan gently feeling Nickita's behind.
Trust Ivan, Nickita is as light as Zari and their lower legs are more or less the same. Not much is known about Nickita for now but she is certainly more than ready to kick off with the steamy romps with the tycoon.
Isaac on the other hand is busy pouring out his heart for the boss lady. He confirmed to some of his close pals that he has 'The Boss Lady' tattoo around his ribs. The Boss Lady is a reality TV show by Zari on UBC.
Latest info coming through of course from insiders indicates that trouble stems from the Shs190m Zari wired to Lugudde at the robbery Forex Bureau. The couple is set to share the property that is listed in the couple's names as a requirement by law in South Africa.
Zari is in the country after jetting in on Wednesday to oversee operations at her two stores, Zari Jewels and The Renaissance Man located at the Garden City basement.
The match between the Uganda Cranes and Zambia's Chipolopolo saw one fan who acted out of the ordinary bearing in mind that the last time we had seen such actions was when the fake tycoon Mike Ezra was around.

Ivan Ssemwanga who is now better known as the estranged husband to Zari gave the Uganda Cranes Shs10m in cash and promised Shs5m for all the goals scored. This kind of motivation saw the Uganda Cranes beat the African Champions in the 90 minutes before crossing to a penalty shoot-out. This is when Uganda succumbed to Chipolopolo but after putting up a spirited fight.
Ivan paid over Shs2m to charter a helicopter that airlifted him to Namboole for the Uganda VS Zambia match, sponsored 10 fans with all expenses from South Africa to Uganda to watch the game live at Mandela National Stadium (Namboole).
Ivan has been keeping a low profile but from the time he fell out with his wife Zari, he is determined to see her back at all costs and spending is one of the tricks he is using but Kampala babes are now all over him that he is lost for choice . The question is Who is Ivan Ssemwanga?
Ivan Ssemwanga went down South in 2002 with the help of his cousin Kyeyune aka Cheune who is on the record for loving posh rides and settled in an area with so many Sangoma's. He must have gotten overwhelmed with the seer business that he was left with no choice but to join them. He is referred to as Shaba Wa Shaba 9 while with his peers in South Africa.
On realizing the success of his business, he decided to venture into education services. Ivan set up Brooklyn Colleges which has 6 branches spread across Durban, Pretoria and Jo'Burg specializing in IT, Mining and Policing services among others.
In Uganda, he is constructing a hotel on Sir Apollo Kagwa, has several houses in Bunga, Munyonyo, Mutungo and unconfirmed reports have it that a hotel in Mukono is in the offing. A combination of all those projects leaves him with over Shs700m in profits per month.

He has two posh houses in Sandton and Pretoria, spent over a billion on his introduction ceremony to Zari last year but mid this year, Zari quit her marital home under the guise of domestic violence.
Professional basketball player Isaac Lugudde aka LK4 has come out to throw some light on his relationship with South African based Ugandan socialite, Zari.
Zari being a loaded woman, close pals to the basketball player were drawing conclusions that he was in it for money, but he thinks otherwise.
"First, let's get this as a fundamental understanding: money or gain of material wealth, can never bring u happiness or love. Me using her, well, no, not even close. I'm not from Uganda, as y'all know, I was born and raised in USA, I made news when I arrived to Uganda with my brother, Mike Ezra, as y'all know him...."
When he revealed how close he was to Mike Ezra, many just concluded that Zari was in for a raw deal. interestingly, Zari's Ex is behaving just like Mike Ezra of late.
Isaac is faced with robbery charges of Shs100m from a forex bureau after a suspect in the case was got with a (facebook) picture of him but he says Ivan is behind all this. "Ivan is trying everything he can to put me away" Isaac noted on his wall regarding the robbery case.
One of his followers on facebook was forced to ask him how he could rest his arm like that on a married woman, his response just left many perplexed. "Have u ever heard the saying "one man's trash, is another man's treasure'' Well I guess that says it all."
He crowns it all by saying: I have a tattoo on my rib that says ''The Boss Lady'' and adds a quote from the bible, Gen 2:18 ("It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him." )
Isaac and the wife divorced so its as though he is confirming that Zari is a perfect helper for him. Meanwhile, Zari who confirms she is stressed a little bit over the matter but only has three men to worry about and those are her three little kids.
We are all just watching this space to see where all this ends up. Meanwhile, It should be recalled that early this year, there was a scuffle in the Club Silk washrooms between Sue Ochola and Zari and now we are wondering, did it have anything to do with the basketball player? watch this space!
Photos of Zari and her new found love have leaked.
A photo of Zari and basket ball star Isaac Lugudde in a lovey dovey pose is buzzing on social media networks. Zari a mother of three separated with hubby Ivan Ssemwanga four months back after a fight in London.
Socialite Zari is now determined to move on as seen from the above pic at a certain top hang out with the couple in a Public Display of Affection (PDA). Many people were so surprised about the developments and this is what she had to say:
"What's so unbelievable? U wanted him single he is so? U should b happy...so don't sweat it. word!" Isaac was dumped by his wife recently and with the cracks in Zari's affair, the timing could just be right.
On the other hand, Ivan's lifestyle has totally changed and its tending to that of Mike Ezra. Ivan has always been loaded but splashing his dime on expensive rides, holidays and partying.
Just before the Uganda cranes match against Zambia's Chipolopolo, he donated Shs10m, he is yet to add another 5m for the goal that Geoffrey Massa scored, made a grand entrance at Namboole in a chopper before his customised hummer (IVAN9) drove him to the gates.
Its still puzzling many how things are failing to work out between these two after 12 years, 3 kids and not forgeting the money coupled with the lavish introduction ceremony that was held at the end of last year.

In 2007, sports philanthropist and Uganda Cranes fan Mike Ezra came with a chopper at Namboole to watch the game between Uganda Cranes and Nigeria. On winning, he gave them millions of shillings.
This is exactly what Zari's ex Ivan Ssemwanga did. He was dropped by a blue chopper into a hummer that brought him to the gates with his 'fans' cheering him on.
Earlier on Ivan had donated Shs10m to the Uganda Cranes and promised Shs5m for every goal scored. This means that with Geoffrey Massa's goal in the first half, this will be an additional Shs5m.
It could have been even better had the Uganda Cranes taken on the African Champions team Chipolopolo who won by 9 goals to 8 in a penalty shoot-out. Ivan is trying to assume Mike Ezra's position just as Zari took over Bad Black's social scene.
Meanwhile, he sponsored 10 fans from South Africa with return Air tickets just to come and watch the Uganda VS Zambia match in Namboole.
Ivan Ssemwanga's BMW clamped at Garden City basement parking.
Two weeks back, Ivan Ssemwanga was busy inviting pals for Zari's open bar birthday party which in the end never took place as Ivan was too busy that he missed his flight to Uganda.
Zari's 32nd birthday party was instead celebrated at Melrose Arch in South Africa with a few family members and friends though during that time, Zari kept most of her time tweeting and facebooking.
On Monday, Ivan's BMW was spotted clamped at Garden city. Cars at Garden city are clamped when they normally stay beyond closing hours. Its not yet clear how long the vehicle had stayed to warrant the action.
Meanwhile, Zari is in high preparations for the launch of her latest store at Garden City, The Renaissance Man, which launch will double as the Zari White Party. Watch this space!
Zari is proud to have made 32 today and still looks younger than her age. Until Friday, Ivan was busy calling up on his friends to show up for the birthday party of the year at Guvnor-Angenoir.
The original plan was to have an open bar birthday party that could see revellers crawling after taking all tribes of booze but at the end of it all, the birthday gal, the party organizer were no where to be seen.
It has been widely rumoured that these two have separated and we had hoped that the birthday fete would be the right time to clear the space being that this was Zari's special day and a justifiable way of expressing their love.
This wasn't the case. Ivan is now saying he missed his flight as he was busy. "Am very sorry about the b'day party, was very busy n I missed my flight, but don't worry am planning on buying a private jet next so I wouldn't hustle. Happy Week ahead"
Now the rumour that Ivan and Zari have separated could be true. Zari was in Kampala less than a week back making final touches to her latest store, The Renaissance Man, but she did not hint on the Guvnor party and knowing Zari, she could have made sure that she alerts all her dolls to come and party with her, but this did not happen.
Zari who celebrated her birthday in South Africa put on a bare back butt revealing long outfit and cruised the white Lamborghini to some unknown destination. Trust Ivan, he is now trying to confuse the whole issue with his latest ride to his fleet that happens to be a Bentley.
The Uganda social scene has seen all sorts of 'celebs' in form of socialites who have been around and left an impact on those who look up to them or better still wish they could be in their shoes, but one thing is for sure, it's becoming clear that they are going down faster than they came up.
Driving expensive personalized cars, throwing parties, making statements that easily make it to the front pages are some of the characteristics that best describe these 'tycoons'. Below are the celebs, we might soon forget unless when something out of the ordinary happens.
Mike Ezra - Hit the limelight in the year 2000 and his buying a wrist watch at USD250,000 did not fail to make news, traveling by chopper to watch a football match, threatened to buy Leeds football team and the last we heard of him was during the USD3M Emin Pasha press conference. The next time he surfaced was in Kenya when he was arrested for issuing a bounced cheque only to be driven in an old Peugeot to court.
Bad Black - The former city socialite is still fresh but at least the nine months she conquered Kampala have left a mark on those who were around her and benefiting from the Shs11bn that she spent to the time it landed her a four year jail term. Clubs (particularly Club Rouge that hosted her 22birthday), Bars, Hotels benefited from the dime she embezzled from her former lover David Greenhalgh.
Zari - The mother of three boys loves cars, traveling, shoes and shopping. Life has never been the same from the time she met South African businessman Ivan Ssemwanga. She has tried music, a reality show, held white parties, drives cars ranging from a Chrysler, Benz, Hummer, AudiQ7 among others.
She is now not riding on the same horse with Ivan who she introduced to her parents late last year. She has resorted to spending her time opening up shops as a way of expanding her mini empire.
Sylvia Owori - She's been an authority on the social scene for the last ten years. Started the first modeling agency, Ziper Models, supplying models in East Africa. She met her fiance Per Munk Nielsen and together they started African Woman Magazine which has now closed shop. Her boy friend Malik who lost two professional fights sponsored by Sylvia is battling theft charges in court. Garden City based Sylvia Owori store was even reduced in size, implying that they are now occupying less space than they previously did.
Contrary to rumours that the couple has split, Ivan is busy inviting pals for the wife's open bar birthday party that will be held on 23 Sep, 2012 at the posh Guvnor-Angenoir.
The couple was recently involved in a bitter fight to the extent that Zari came out publicly denouncing domestic violence. She had actually pulled out but had to reconsider her decision after the sisters pleaded with her to keep right their for the sake of the kids.
Zari is currently in the country to over see the launch of her latest shop The Renaissance Man. Its not clear though if her current visit doubles as the launch for her new shop and her birthday.
The socialite has been throwing all sorts of parties in the past and her birthday is one of those moments that call for a big celebration just like Desire and Judith Heard did in the recent past.
South African based socialite Zari Hassan is in the country to launch her latest shop, The Renaissance Man three months after launching the Garden City based Zari Jewels which mainly deals in bridal accessories, bracelets, designer wrist watches among others.
Now the socialite who simply puts it as expanding her empire has come up with something for the men which will be having designer men's suits, shirts at affordable prices at Garden City.
In her wall post she says: "Here to expand ma mini legacy/empire with d opening of The Renaissance Man." She adds that: "Look no further for corporate suits,groom and gents accessories...luv 2 c u there."
Zari joins other socialites like Judith Heard with her Flaunt Your Style store at Forest Mall and Sylvia Owori's fashion line at Garden City. Zari is into music, mother of three, has a reality show, and now Zari Jewels and The Renaissance Man.
South Africa based Zari The Boss Lady was forced to put all her activities on hold just to fly back to Uganda and sort out the mess that had caused her shop (Zari Jewels) to be closed by the Inland Revenue.
Zari confirmed on her wall that her 'baby' was open and customers should grace themselves for new stock. However, what shocked our snoop was the fact that she was not wearing any ring.
Now this is not surprising bearing in mind that these two had a fight recently and Zari had actually thought of walking out on Ivan, the father of her three children but later had to reconsider her decision on the advise of her sister, Zuleha.
Zari and Ivan were to wed soon after a lavish introduction ceremony in December last year that saw Ivan give three hundred cows, a Hummer car to Zari as a present, a Golf to the Muko and a Spacio to Zari's mother plus an assortment of other gifts.
The couple later treated revellers to an After party at Serena hotel with performances from Jose Chameleone, Moze Radio and Aziz Azion among others. Ivan and Zari's house is on fire and the wedding is not on their priority list. Ivan was seen hanging out with the boys alone, something that was rare at least from close sources to the couple.
Its not clear if this is a stunt meant for the The Zari Boss Lady reality show but what is clear to us is that the shop has been closed for several days now after officials from Uganda Revenue Authority raided the office after a tip off that the luxury items in the shop had sneaked into the country illegally.
The URA Officials are establishing a few facts pertaining to the taxes related to these luxury items which include bracelets, necklaces and wedding rings among others and once they are done, the shop will be opened.
So if you were planning to go for shopping at Zari Jewels, you might have to wait to the time it opens once again. The shop was launched at the end of June and it had just operated for a month when the URA operatives swung into action.
This and the fight with the husband recently have made her not a happy woman.
South African based seer Shaba Wa Shaba 9 real name Ivan Ssemwanga was yesterday at the circus show in South Africa with their three boyz trying to keep themselves busy from The Boss-Lady who is steadily recuperating from the bitter fight a few weeks back.
In the past, the couple used to grace happening places as a family but both parents now have assigned specific days with the boys. Yesterday was Ivan's turn to spend time with the kids. Zari confirmed that their house is on fire by asking Ivan why one of the boys was not putting on a warm garment.
Ivan was very quick at telling her that it was the car. The boy is seen freezing in cold weather as everyone around them is in warm clothing. This did not go down well with their mom.
The couple was involved in a serious fight that almost brought their affair to an end had it not been for one of the sisters' to ask Zari to reconsider her decision for the sake of the kids.
Ivan had tried to cover up the fight by diverting attention under the pretext that Zari had got an accident but Zari's sibling Zuleha Hassan applauded her for having denounced domestic violence and even referred to Ivan as a b**st.
After launching the Zari Jewels at Garden City, Zari and Ivan went to the UK for a shopping spree but something went terribly wrong that Ivan just rounded her up like he did four months back in the Club Silk washrooms. The beating must have been serious this time that Zari thought of walking out on him.
Ivan covered this up by saying that "Zari has been in a car crash." Zari was active around the same period though denouncing domestic violence.
One of Zari's sister confirmed this by trashing Ivan's version: "My opinion is my sis is not in a car crash its that man of a beast who planned that so he can abuse her what an idiot. If Zari was in a crash, the first thing she would have done could have have been to call mum. Gal 'Im really happy you stepped up ur a hero to all the women out there."
Zari came out to say that: "Domestic violence is a no no, had my share for a long time and I'm officially out." This is what got Zuleha Hassan another sister of Zari to intervene at least for the sake of the children.
Its Zuleha's posting which got over 21 approvals that brought the matter to rest. In her posting she told her that she was better off having an alive happy sister than a rich dead one.
Zuleha told her: "Zari, only you know what you've passed through all these years. All I'm gonna say is that save yourself and your children. I would rather have an alive sister than a rich dead one.
This is when Zari ceased fire and reminded herself on how much she loves her sons so much who know her in and out. Zari introduced Ivan to her parents in Munyonyo after 11 years of exploring each other and over 300 cows were brought for the parents but because they could not stay in the Munyonyo home, the cows disappeared after the function. Its Zari Who Was Beaten - Sue Ochola Sue Ochola Thumped in Club Silk Loos
"Its one thing to plan a party but the kind of crowd u have or that appears in the pics also matter.lol"
That was a tweet by Judith Heard a few days back. Now we all know the last party to be held was the launch of the Zari Jewels and looking at the fight they had in March, Judith Heard was not supposed to grace this launch.
Sylvia Owori who happens to be Judith Heard's former boss was among those who turned up for the launch of Zari Jewels.
These three are now business rivals bearing in mind that Judith Heard has JHFYS fashion line at Forest Mall which she could have put on Garden City but because of the Sylvia Owori Store that is based at Garden city, she decided to put it elsewhere.
Now having scanned our social environment, we concluded that the above remarks were aimed at Zari who organised the party and Sylvia as the two have been having issues.
Judith Heard was a model with Sylvia Owori but according to her, she was not being paid enough money until Mr. Right came her way and since then, she is now a competitor of her former boss.
Its now official we have two reality shows but looks like the actors and actresses behind these 'movies' are under pressure to ensure that they have new episodes running every week.
A case in point is the tyre rolling off from Bobi Wine's Escalade, the cleaning at Mulago Hospital this morning among others, chances are some of these activities are meant for the Omubanda Wa Kabaka show. So if you thought that it was a big deal for the Escalade tyre to roll off, don't be surprised if this is a stage managed stunt to create a real life scene for the show.
Zari has even been forced to change cos on some of her projects from the time she thought of the reality show. A case in point is the former hostel on Sir Apollo Kagwa that was later changed to a hotel after Zari realised that she could generate better mileage from the hotel than a hostel once featured in her reality show.
The first episodes of the Zari-The Boss Lady show had businesses in South Africa which could not be verified by most viewers of the show locally and yet the hotel project was taking long to be completed, she very quickly came up with a business idea and that was a jewellery shop at Garden City. Its being launched today.
Don't be surprised if the next episodes are featuring the latest events now that they are reality shows. It's amazing though how much one has to go through just to have a reality show.
Meanwhile, Omubanda Wa Kabaka is organic as they use resources within Magere and therefore affordable as opposed to The Boss Lady which has to juggle between UK, South Africa and Uganda among others.
If you thought the war between top socialites Judith Heard and Zari Hassan is over, you need to read this.
In the just concluded Miss Uganda function that took place at Kampala Serena Hotel a week back, Judith Heard reserved table number '23' in the VIP section which had the likes of loaded Dubai based Prince Karim and his better half Tracy Bora and Iryn Namubiru among others.
Zari who is currently in South Africa booked a table in the VIP section at Shs1m and that table was right next to Judith Heard's. The empty table was guarded by bouncers may be to ensure that the special instructions of the table being next to Judith Heard's were fulfilled.
A man who tried to occupy the table had it rough when an official from the Miss Uganda contest organisers asked him to leave or he pays the Shs1m that Zari had paid. This is when snoops realised that the table had been reserved for Zari.
Zari and her entourage were nowhere to be seen till the very end of the Miss Uganda contest that saw Phiona Bizzu take the crown.
The Boss Lady will stop at nothing to prove her point. Meanwhile, her Jewellery shop at Garden City will be opening in three days time.

Omubanda Wa'Kabaka a reality show featuring Bobi Wine and family is one of the most popular shows airing on Bukedde TV channel 148 for those on DSTV. The show which started airing weeks after Zari's 'The Boss Lady' show show-cases Bobi Wine and how he goes about his chores at his Magere mansion.
This particular show which was the third episode had a scene when Jose Chameleone paid a visit to the Bobi Wine's making Barbie prepare a heavy meal that included meat, chicken, Matooke among others for the Chameleone's to feast.
Interestingly, Zari's show airs on UBC at 8:30pm on Wednesday and on the same day an hour later, Omubanda Wa Kabaka airs Bukedde TV clearly giving you an insight in these local celebs lives.
Barbie features prominently on the Omubanda Wa Kabaka unlike The Boss Lady that seems to be preoccupied by Zari her kids and a little bit of her hubby Ivan Ssemwanga. Daniella who happens to be a close buddy to Barbie(Bobi's wife) is contemplating on coming up with a similar show featuring the Valu Valu star. Watch this space!
Bad Black's shop on Zainab Aziza building located on the third floor is empty and locked at least from the last visit by snoops. The shop that was dealing in clothes and hair extensions closed several months back after the former money bags started chocking on rent due to the Shs11bn embezzlement case that left her dry.
Pregnant with David Greenhalgh's kid at least from what she says, Bad Black last appeared in a special hire or cab for the last court session she attended and the very last one, she was not able due to labour pains.
On the other hand, Socialite Zari is not leaving any stone unturned as she ventures into jewellery business by opening a shop on Garden City, the same location with Sylvia Owori fashion with whom they shared a passionate kiss recently.
She confirmed this on her wall; "long day with jewellery manufacturers, ZARI JEWELS opening soon at Garden city. Bling like never seen b4 on kampala soil....chasing paper is the name of the game."
Now that is your gal Zari with a reality show on UBC becoming better or viewers are just getting used to it, a hotel about to completed on Sir Apollo Kaggwa, various schools in South Africa and now Zari Jewels joining the list.
Those in search of rings, bracelets and bling bling will soon be able to get them from Zari Jewels.
The 'Sylvia-Zari Kiss' has been the talk of the town for the last one week with Zari trying to respond but now the other person in the kiss has also come out to clear the space and also apologized.
"It was a truth or dare game on the boat cruise and Zari and myself had a french kiss, sorry if we offended anyone. We were also filming her reality show and giving some support to my girl."
Not very different from what Zari said. Like we mentioned earlier, all the Zari drama you are seeing and you are yet to see is meant for her reality show so if you have an empire to protect and you are near her, you had better think fast.
Sylvia is good at exploiting situations. The last time Mr.Flavour of the Ashawo fame was in the country, she teamed up with Bad Black for an exclusive party in which they danced and touched the star all over.
When Zari came up with the reality show, the two have been hanging out together like siamese twins. During the launch of the Zari reality show at Golf Course Hotel, it was Sylvia who was ensuring that all was well before Zari appeared for the press briefing.
However, after all this she seems to have learnt a thing or two and has promised to be careful with who she hangs out with bearing in mind that she has put in at least 12 years in her fashion business of Sylvia Owori as a brand and not about to trade it with anything.
"im no body guard to zari or bad black as monitor comments, im really offended by it, i have to really look carefully ho i hang with as people starting to judge me based on this, im a very open minded person but will have to re think who i hang with as it is affecting my SYLVIA OWORI brand." She concluded on her wall.
Zari-The Boss Lady reality show was launched two weeks back and so far two episodes have been aired on Uganda's National Television, UBC.
Those who have watched the show are now split into two groups, the thumbs up and the thumbs down. The thumbs down who are threatening to out number the Thumbs up have even gone an extra mile in coming up with alternative things to do as opposed to watching the Zari reality show.
Zari has mastered her game so well. As a move to divert the attention of the reality show 'haters', she teamed up with fashionista Sylvia Owori in the now 'Sylvia-Zari Kiss' but instead all this is blowing up in her face like a tsunami.
Realizing that the kiss stunt which she casually played off as a truth and dare game was causing more harm than good, she grabbed her smart phone and smartly passed on a message to the 'haters'
" Y'all need to come up with something better, till then it's the first of it's kind in the country and your glued! God bless your hate as its my blessing in disguise! Amen." Though this prompted questions like which one? The kiss or the show?
The Zari Boss Lady is a reality show about Zari Hassan who walked to UBC with a proposal that a reality show about her be screened, and the team at UBC did not object. They(UBC) are however quick at saying that in case you can put on shoes similar to Zari's, you are welcome to do so.
So if you think you can do a reality show that could be similar or better than Zari which is entertaining, educative and interactive, the UBC doors are wide open. In the meantime, we still have another 12 weeks left before the Z-TBL footage runs to the end.
But knowing Zari, part 2 of the Z-TBL will feature recent events like the famous boat kiss and should UBC say that they won't run part two of the show, then The Boss Lady had better start thinking out of the box and come up with a Luganda version of the show that will be embraced with open arms on Agataliiko-Nfuufu channel and advertisers will follow in large numbers.
The boat cruise kiss between Sylvia Owori and South African based Zari Hassan got the social networks busy with what the two socialites were up to when they decided to tongue wrestle each other on Easter Monday.
Realising that the kiss is likely to cost her after launching her reality show and claiming to be a role model to many, Zari dashed to her wall to try and 'clear the space' on what she termed as blowing the whole thing out of proportion.
Zari said that this was a truth and dare game and there was nothing serious. She also added that their husbands were on the same boat and were following everything closely. Some of her followers reminded her that her and Sylvia are mothers and have a lot of people out there looking unto them.
Zari whose second episode of her reality show (The Boss Lady) aired yesterday on UBC is now faced with demands that the next screening should now have a clip of the Sylvia-Zari kiss, JH-Zari Chameleone phone instead of what they are watching.
Over 70 people were on a boat cruise on Easter Monday that was sponsored by Zari for her close buddies and family members. Queen dancers were on the boat punishing men in the groin areas with their erotic dances but the highlight of the boat ride was the Zari-Sylvia kiss.

City Socialite Zari Hassan and fashionista Sylvia Owori are in the news yet again but this time not the usual Zari cat fights but a change of tactics. On Easter Monday, Zari and her now best friend plus queen dancers got onto a boat to have some fun.
The boat cruise was organized and taken care of by Zari in terms of costs pertaining to it not leaving out the queen dancers to torture guys with lap dances, Zari's family members and hubby, Sylvia Owori's toyboy Malik Kaliisa all totalling to about 70 were on board.
The boat had all tribes of booze and as the ride went on with the booze taking its toll on the partiers, kissing n touching was the order of the boat ride. Ivan and Zari were also seen kissing for the first time in public.
However, what perplexed those on board was the Zari-Sylvia kiss. The two kissed passionately with their eyes closed and did not care about a thing. Sylvia has been in the news before when she kissed the Independent's Magazine boss Andrew Mwenda.
Zari Hassan's show has premiered on UBC. At exactly 8:30pm, The-Zari Boss Lady reality show was showing on Uganda Broadcasting Corporation. The reality show which will be on air for the next fourteen weeks was showing Zari taking her kids to school, preparing breakfast for the family, hitting club to perform one of her songs, and a day at one of her schools among others.
May be the show will pick as time goes by but the first show did not cut it as expected may be because all the recordings in the first show were shot from South Africa. Episodes shot from Uganda are likely to be more interesting because there is quite a lot to relate with.
During the launch, Zari was asked if scenes like those at the Valu Valu concert will feature in the show and she said yes though of course highly edited.
Comments from those who watched the show:
Alex Nankunda: "i like the fact that Zaricame up with a reality show but its sooo artificial...which meks it soo uncool"
Babykigs BK: "Nt yt there.. bt her voice sounds funny."
Nakalyowa Angella: "I've watched it, its fun."
Isaac Lugudde: "Uganda is evolving, seriously, live reality t.v show on UBC. I love it. Great for the country!"
Zari and her now very close buddy Sylvia Owori were watching the show at Boda Boda Garden City. Meanwhile, yesterday during the press conference for the launch, Zari apologized for the cat fights and promised not to have any of that drama.
South African based Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan launched the first reality show in East Africa on Tuesday April 03, 2012 that will be airing on Uganda Broadcasting Corporation (UBC). Zari - The Boss Lady is a fourteen week reality television show that will feature Zari's life as a mother, wife, entrepreneur, role model and an artiste.
So many women, young and old alike have written to me expressing their admiration for me as a wife, mother and so on and therefore admire the way I balance my roles in every field I'm involved in. Iam a source of inspiration, motivation and a symbol of financial independence to many. Zari said in a statement to the press.
The statement added: "Many people have a misconception of me as a socialite, spendthrift and and attention-seeking celebrity.
I have never, at any one moment, lashed out to any member of the public and never have I ever involved myself in girlish altercations that I have been dragged into time and again. My reality show will tell everyone that Iam a mature and responsible woman, as actions speak louder than words."
Zari concludes that the reality; show Zari-The Boss Lady is not a publicity stunt, neither is it a show-off strategy. That was Zari's statement as far as the reality show that starts tonight at 8:30pm and will last for 30minutes.
During the launch Zari was with the UBC Public Relations Officer Jane Kasumba and Sylvia Owori whom Zari said they've been friends since she was 17. She took a moment off to apologize to all her followers for the bad commnets she had made and promised not to utterany of those cooments again.
In a related development, the PRO of UBC encouraged all those who felt they could come up with similar shows to present them to UBC as long as they are informative, educative and entertaining.
Now this is war between top socialites Zari Hassan and the Fab Clan (Sue Ochola and JH). On Saturday at about 5:00am hell broke loose after Ivan was told that Zari was in the women washroom talking to Sue Ochola. The Fab Clan members have given their side of the story.
Apparently the gals were chatting on who should use the mirror first when Ivan stormed from nowhere into the women washroom and started beating up Zari. Ivan ordered his bouncers to drag Sue Ochola and all her friends out of the washroom and eventually Club Silk.
Sue Ochola was pushed to the floor before being dragged out by Ivan's bouncers. It's not clear where Club Silk's bouncers were while the Fab Clan members were being dragged out and worse still how a man can walk into the ladies washroom and start beating up someone even if one is a wife.
Judith Heard who is very close to Sue said that this has to stop. Why is it that every time Zari is in the country one of her friends has to be attacked. Judith Heard who says that from the time she failed to attend the Zari White Party, the two former friends have not been on good terms.
Sue and Judith maintain that Ivan thumped Zari as Sue was watching but because Sue had spotted them, they rushed to the media saying it was Sue who was thumped.
On the other hand Zari maintains the Fab Clan guys are just cooking up stories: "Tell the lies, the truth remains. My hubby isn't wat ur putting out there. Am glad he did u justice!" Zari's post on this developing story read.
Zari will be having her The Zari Boss Lady press conference tomorrow at Golf Course Hotel and she will certainly shed some light on this.

Just in case you are not aware socialite Zari Hassan is around ahead of her TBL reality show launch which will start airing on UBC on Wednesday at 8pm. You all recall the beef between Zari and JH which has not yet settled down though Zari is looking at ways to make peace.
Last Saturday, Zari stormed Club Silk to party hard with her guard crew that included her hubby Ivan Ssemwanga. She went to the washrooms and while there she met JH's close buddy Sue Ochola.
Sue was trying to chat up Zari but knowing that Sue and JH are very close, Zari became suspicious. A friend told Ivan of what was going on in the washrooms. Ivan camped at the ladies washrooms till Sue came out.
Ivan asked Sue to stay away from Zari of course this did not go down well with Sue ending up in a bitter exchange. Ivan's bouncers swung into action pushing her hard on the floor. Responding to this, Zari simply said she won't comment on what happened because this visit is more to do with her The Boss Lady Launch (TBL).
In the recent past, the social scene was dominated by Bad Black and she was a threat to anyone who dared cross that line through her parties, various tips in all the shopping malls that she went to for shopping together with her gal brigade members.
All that is going down the line pretty fast as the embezzlement case takes it's toll on her. She was in court yesterday but rushed to hospital later after she blacked out in court. Her case will resume today.
On the other hand, Zari has taken center stage and in this month alone, she was able to deal with at least two ex-models Judith Heard and Priscilla Ray. It all started at the Valu Valu concert and one thing led to the other after the auction of the phone.
Zari comes out by trying to play the game smart at least a lot better than Bad Black. She holds parties yes just like Bad Black used to, but with Zari, you normally part with a small fee. Bad Black, everything was 110% on the house.
Zari's last visit a few weeks back comprised of buying a building on Kampala road, an investment she says is for the kids, but for one reason or the other, she has still kept it a secret. She was also monitoring the progress on her Sir Apollo Kagwa based Brooklyn Hotel.
At this rate, it is not clear how long she will be at the top but it took Bad Black a cool 9months of booze, sex, rides, parties but for now, it is court and battling with pregnancy.
If you thought the cat fight between Judith Heard and Zari had ended, then you are mistaken because now it has taken the avenue of a third party who is none other than ex-city model and glamour gal Priscilla Ray.
The ex-model who has been in the UK and her timeline now reflects UG has responded to Zari's verbal diarrhoea and this is what she had to say: "To you my buddies, sorry about my previous status, im actually so ashamed of it.
I don't beef and will not involve myself in any war of words especially with an attention seeking semi-illiterate airhead ( I refuse to give her that satisfaction). My mama would be so ashamed of me, she taught me better than that."
As all this is going on, Judith Heard simply says that I'm proud of ma sister(Ray) in every way. On the other hand Zari has got a totally different way of playing this. Close pals told Zari that they were fed up of reading about her yet there was a lot going on.
She has now resorted to telling all those who care to know about the construction of her former hostel that has now turned into a hotel. The hotel she is calling Hotel Brooklyn is located on Sir Apollo Kagwa behind Mogas petrol station.
We are pretty certain this is a better way of dealing with things than just showing a few shillings.
Former city model Priscilla Ray who has been in the UK did not receive kind words from socialite Zari when she threw a spanner into her recent rift with JudIth Heard.
This is what Ray wrote: "Each time I see a picture of someone posing with a wad of money, I have to fight the urge of running under my bed. Thats some suspect shit...totally hideous."
Ray adds: "You can tell they are not used to having it that's why they make a special effort to flaunt it and show it off.......also ever noticed that's its the "rich" and not the Wealthy that pull such stunts? lol"
This did not go down well with Zari Hassan who did not waste any minute but to attack.
Zari Retaliates: "Whatever u call urself(can't even mention ya name), stay out of what's nat ur business by d way if u ain't gat none to flaunt, sit ur skinny ....dwn-trying to get milage using 'us'. Onsanze nachuka, cld have given u taste of some medicine...."
Zari adds: "who? Osulamunyumbazani, okolawa, ani akumanyi, mbu mbela Uk-so? I beg I beg....." translated as Who is your landlord, where do you work, who knows you and then you go on claiming that you are based in the UK"
Ray was trying to respond to the way Zari embarrassed Judith Heard during the auctioof the Chameleone Phone at the Valu Valu concert. The phone will be on the market in four days time.
South African based Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan's reality show dubbed The Boss Lady (TBL) will start showing on state owned Uganda Broadcasting Corporation (UBC) any time soon.
The reality show is expected to have scenes from her All White Parties in UK and Uganda, her life as a mother of three, introduction ceremony, Charity visits, the cars, family, thongs and shoes and of course not forgetting the cat fights.
She confirmed this to a few friends that it's officially launching on UBC and one should expect entertainment, drama, fashion and glamour. She added; "Swagga just started TBL premiering soon, YES hate is expected but there is no stopping me. Nuggu? No. Its an obsession with me, lol.."
She also knows that hate is expected. Just recently, she was at war with Judith Heard, another socialite over the auction of the Chameleone phone at the Valu Valu concert. We can't wait to see this reality show though the organisers should be mindful of the fact that the mother of the reality shows, Big Brother is around the corner and nothing comes in it's way.
It's now official South African based Zari Hassan and Judith Heard do not see eye-to-eye and are not about to reconcile after what happened at the Valu Valu Concert. The two socialites have been having issues.
All White Party
Last year, Zari held the All White Party which Judith Heard missed claiming that the people at the party were not her type. This did not go down well with Zari who retaliated with very strong X-rated words.
Buzz Teeniez Awards
Days later, they met at the Buzz Teeniez Awards at Lugogo but the tension was too much that the two jeered at each other forcing the organizers to separate them. Judith has always referred to Zari as a bitch in fact on that day she demanded that they take her to another tent as she was not comfortable seating next to a bitch.
Valu Valu Concert
The concert was a success but for now that's all we know about the concert. It however doubled as the launch of the 'Chameleone Phone' and the MC's Salvado and Kats kicked off with the auction of the phone. Judith Heard pledged pounds 2,000 and Zari Hassan pulled out a bundle of 50k notes and demanded to know if the pledge from JH had to wait until she consults with the husband the following morning.
Judith Heard Reacts
"That's silly. I have the money. That's too silly. You silly bitch, silly! I'm here to support my friend Jose Chameleone. Silly,".
Police Intervenes
It was at this time that the police was called in to rescue the situation. A police officer and Zari's bouncer whisked her away.
Judith Heard Speaks Out
She was asked if she had a problem with Zari and she said that; "The only problem I have with her is disrespecting my family, my husband and kids." On the other hand, Zari maintains she has no problem with Judith Heard and she believes they can go past their differences.
Who is Zari?
Zari Hassan hails from Jinja and she is a cocktail of breeds with her father being half Burundian and Half Somali and the mother is a half Indian and half Mutooro and she speaks Soga fluently having grown from there.
She moved to Kampala in 1998 and later to UK(Woodgreen) where she became a Cosmetologist and later relocated to South Africa where she met Ivan Ssemwanga who she has just introduced to her parents. They have three boys after eleven years. Ehh, she is also a musician.
Who is Judith Heard?
She was born in Kigali, Rwanda tried being a waiter before crossing to a model and that is how she met her husband Dr. Alex Heard an American Psychiatrist.
They have a set of twin girls and one adopted son.
The Rides
On top of Zari and Her Rides, she has added a Range Rover Sport while Judith Heard has a Bentley, Lamborghini, Mercedes Benz ML, Thunderbird...! She got an Audi Q7as a Valentine's present(Judith Heard's Valentines Present)
News of her exchange with Judith Heard is still fresh but that aside, Zari came in specifically to attend the Valu Valu Concert but most importantly to buy a commercial bulging in the city which snoops say is located between Santos Ice Cream and Watoto Church.
In a weeks time, the building will be having a name like 'Zari Plaza' which we will gladly show on these pages. Meanwhile, Zari has apologized to Dr. Chameleone over the mess during the Valu Valu show last Friday.
She wrote on her wall: "My sincere apologies to Dr. Chameleone, no intentions for stealing ya spotlight. luv u dude...."
Apparently, what made Judith Heard go nuts was the fact that Zari showed off real cash at the show and she was ready to pay for the phone and yet Judith Heard had asked the MC to close the auction of the Chameleone phone after she had made a pledge of pounds 2,000.
She resorted to using X-rated words while hitting back at Zari. The MC's failed to control the two socialites forcing the lights and sound to go off for some minutes before security whisked Zari to safety.
It was the Valu Valu live show which doubled as the launch of the Chameleone Phone. The MC's of the night Salvado and MC Kats announced that the phone was up for grabs. Judith Heard got the microphone first and offered pounds 2000.
This however is believed to be an offer that was made after Judith had consulted a Nigerian Oga friend who was in attendance.
It was Zari's chance to make her offer for the Chameleone phone but before she could do that, she asked if Judith Heard was to make a cheque or pay in cash because on her part, she was ready to pay the same amount in cash.
This rubbed Judith the wrong way. She simply threw the microphone at Zari calling her a bitch. For starters, Judith Heard was a waitress, turned into a model and later a socialite. She is married to Alex Heard and they have 3 kids.
On the other hand, Zari is very well known on these pages and she needs no introduction. However, the two have always been at each other's necks with the latest being the Buzz Teeniez Awards when the two socialites were in attendance but Zari's bouncers almost took the breath out of Judith.
Two years back, Judith received a valentine's present of an Audi Q7, black in colour and within a short while, Zari added a creme AudiQ7 to her fleet.
Socialites Judith Heard and Zari Hassan are at it again. The two have been having issues in the past so Judith Heard took this opportunity to diss at Zari at the Valu Valu Live show at Kyadondo yesterday.
Looks like Judith was a bit high on whatever stuff and downloaded her wrath on Zari when she was given a chance to talk. This time round Zari has played it cool and not opted to attack as it has always been the case.
Zari had this to say after JH's remarks; "Gal 2nite was nt abt me or u, it was about chameleon. It was not abt who has money or not as u, me n everybody else who was at the concert has money that's y we all turned up. It was abt if u had ?2000 to buy the phone, u calling me a silly bitch n all was typical of u.
Everything I have I own, u? Anyhow.....gone r d days wen I dissed n all, I've got priorities n ur none of them. Gudluck with ur life, I flew in to support my not chameleone..... Find Jesus u need him."
Judith Heard who is now nursing a serious hangover is expected to retaliate to this version of beef. Watch this space!
A few days back, Zuena who is battling with pregnancy cravings was forced to cut off her hair though she has been very strict with revealing her new look.
But before that dust could settle, South African based socialite Zari Hassan has hit the social scene asking her followers if she looks better off with short hair or long hair?
As it is the norm from one's followers on the social network, they flooded her account with praises of how she looked cool with short hair. She simply sat back and enjoyed the flow but one Drino Gad commented that; "hey u looked sick hpe yo fyn, bt that hair do is alright, like seriously cheers"
The message in Drino's comment was that you looked sick.. Zari was quick at responding to Gad and she had this to say; "Not sick that's a gal with less make-up and its computer camera, not the studio shots I do, that's the real me."
So folks there is the real Zari without make-up and she is wondering if she should try out the short hair or just resort to the long hair extensions!
In yesterday's Red Pepper, it was reported that there was bad blood between the 2011 Song Writer of the Year Nince Henry, Juliana and Zari. Nince Henry was to write 'Begombeko' for Zari but the song writer instead sold it to Iryn.
Responding to the article Zari instead wrote on her wall that ''No bad blood btwn me n my gal Irene, totally fabricated stories for the song writer to get his piece of fame. My advise-let ur work speak for u, thats wat it is!''
What Zari is saying is exactly what is happening. There was no mention of her and Iryn having issues and the direction which the article took did not in any way warrant good publicity for the Song Writer.
This instead confirmed the bad blood between Nince Henry and Zari most probably for having sold the 'Begombeko' track to Iryn and yet Zari had given an advance payment to the song as Nince was still penning.
Meanwhile, Dembe FM's Straka called Nince Henry to get his position on the matter, he simply blasted her. Nince Henry is a song writer who turned into a musician was behind tracks like 'Omukwano Gunyuma' by Samalie Matovu and Ekikunyumira by Julie Mutesasira.
We recently told of how Zari declined the Hummer present that was given to her during her introduction ceremony at the end of last year claiming that it wasn't feminine, so what the hubby did was to add it on his fleet of vehicles with IVAN 9 customized plates.
The South African based Ugandan socialite told some of her pals that "Tekwali kwelaga but this is more feminine" implying that when she rejected the Hummer, she was not feeling sweet but the Range Rover sport is more feminine to her compared to a Hummer.
Meanwhile, when we posted the pic of the Hummer that was rejected, this was one of the comments: "Man, these are all tricks. u hear about those introductions were the woman and man's families sit together and agree on borrowing stuff to present so that the kwanjuula looks good.
I bet majority of what was presented, like the Hummer itself, the 100+ cows etc were financed for a certain period and now that the introduction was done the stuff had to go back, the Hummer being first priority. That Hummer is someone else's it was rented, they never bought it. don't fall for the tricks."
Zari has a number of rides ranging from a BMW, Merc CLK, Crysler among others and now she adds a white Range Rover Sport.
Just when we thought we had had enough of Zari, she sneaks back to our pages and this time in a video shoot for a track that we are yet to know. In the video pictures, you can clearly see her depicting her so called 'fabulous' lifestyle.
A fleet of Hummers waiting for her as she pulls out of the South African Airforce flight not forgetting her LV bag and bodyguard are some of the scenes in the video.
Meanwhile, less than two months back was her introduction ceremony and her present was a Hummer which she rejected. Now the latest info before us is that the replacement car will be available in a few hours so make sure you check back.

No doubt Bad Black is slowly getting off the social scene and on the other hand South African based socialite Zari Hassan is doing everything possible to remain in the limelight. She has now de registered the two cars that originally had South African customized plates to her name.
The Chrysler was ZARI 3 GP and now it's Zari and the CLK Benz was ZARI 4 GP and now ZARI 2. However, on the Chrysler, she went an extra mile and gave it a facelift as seen from the pic to give an impression that these are two vehicles.
Meanwhile, on her wall she is busy convincing her followers that the cows presented during the 'Kwanjula' were real and not hired and so were the cars. Info on the Hummer she was given is that it was her car in South Africa.
Zari and Ivan held their introduction on the Christmas Eve and later that evening proceeded to Serena Hotel for the engagement party and five days after, was the All White party at Guvnor with free booze to all the guests.
We told you just a few days back that Zari will be introducing Ivan to her parents before X-Mas and this is exactly what happened on Saturday as Ivan Ssemwanga together with his close friends and family made their way to Munyonyo.
Unlike other introduction ceremonies, on this one the 'Muko' got a car as opposed to hens for giving out his sister. Zari's mum got a car for having given birth to a beautiful daughter. It should also be noted that there were no baskets on this kwanjula as all items were wrapped in their original packaging materials as opposed to opening them and putting an item or two in baskets as seen elsewhere.
As for Zari, it was 300 heifer cows and a Hummer car as a token of appreciation for being a good wife and having given birth to three boys who look exactly like Ivan.

Zari and Ivan are in the country ahead of their introduction ceremony slated for December 24 and the All White Party at Guvnor/Ange Noir. Zari has not been clear on this matter but she talked to some snoops confirming that yes they will be having an introduction ceremony at her parents home in Kampala and later proceed to Serena Hotel for an after party cum engagement party.
She was yesterday at Sheraton hotel with Ivan when she asked for 12mn to go to Ange -Noir-Guvnor. The waiter who was taking orders from some babes was absent minded as all his attention had been taken up by Zari and the body guards who were all over the place.
In the end, he delivered a wrong order. He was told to take it back because they expected him to do exactly that as he was paying attention to Zari. "These are the people you see everyday so why do you get so taken up." The gals told the waiter who was by then apologizing for the wrong order.
Zari and Ivan have three kids, Pinto(8), Raphael (7) and the last born Quincy.
South African based Zari Hassan is in town ahead of the All White Party that will take place on December 29, 2011 at the Industrial area based posh hang out Guvnor. The party dubbed ''The All White Affair'' was to be held a day before but that was the same date of the Arab Money party by Sue Ochola and Judith Heard.
The two parties attract the same crowd so Zari decided to choose another date. The charge is 30,000/- per head. The Arab Money Concept came to the limelight in one of the previous goat races when Sue Ochola provided free expensive booze coupled with live entertainment in the Arab Money Tent.
Just a few days back, Judith Heard was launching her Forest Mall based JH Boutique and the super ex model did not disappoint as she graced the catwalk donning some white outfit. This prompted some followers to conclude that since she won't be part of the All White Party, then this is her version as far as 'all white' was concerned.
South African based Zari Hassan is back to South Africa after spending four days in Uganda. Originally her plan was to spend three days but because of the arrest, she stayed for an extra day.
Zari who stormed out of Club Rouge the moment Bad Black and her gals brigade stormed the celebrity hangout was held at Kabalagala Police briefly for holding an illegal assembly. Apparently, Zari was conducting interviews for Engineering Lecturers.
Zari added that such skills are scarce in South Africa prompting her to outsource from other countries, Uganda inclusive.
This is what she wrote on her wall regarding the matter: "Was interviewing staff for sa jobs and got interapted (meant interrupted) by police, apparently I needed permission to do so, since when did a citizen need permission to give bk to her country by creating employment opportunities and and a better life? Naye Uganda..."
It should be noted that, a number of conmen have been conducting similar interviews and extorting money from unsuspecting individuals and when it comes to traveling abroad, the deal looks even more attractive. So the Ugandan police was just ensuring that all was well and after looking into the matter, she was set free but asked to get clearance in future.
After cooling off in South Africa, she dashed to her wall and said: "Home sweet home(Sa), ngenda kwegoba euganda.....ensi yafe elimabega lwakuba gyebatuzala naye....., meaning that I'm home down in South Africa but I'm going to quit Uganda....our country is so backward.
Sorry Zari but any number beyond three has to be cleared by the IGP according to the new law on public gathering.
During this time of the year, parties to mark the year end are held and Kampala is yet to be faced with that night that will go down in history when three socialites lock horns in hosting parties on the same night.
Zari will be holding the All White Party at Guvnor on the 28.Dec.2011 which is the same day that Judith Heard together with her Arab money friend Sue Ochola have planned to host their guests at Golf Course Hotel.
Un confirmed reports indicate that Bad Black will be holding one on that day but of course this is subject to how the court battle with her mzungu unfolds. Kampala partiers just have to don their outfits as usual to celebrate new years end three days before.
There has been a tendency of these three outsmarting each other when it comes to matters of spending. Bad Black attended the last party that Zari organized together with Elyt Magazine at Garden City Rooftop but Judith Heard and Zari being at the same is next to impossible and if they do, then won't see eye to eye.
Come December 28, 2011 It will be another party with champagne flowing at the posh Ange-Noir Guvnor during the Zari cum Elyt affair and the dress code will be all white. The party will kick off at 9:00pm and the damage to your pockets will be 30k.
The last time this kind of party was held was in April and it was indeed a success with all partiers donning white outfits. In the month of July, Zari came up with the Mid-Year Fiesta and now she bounces back with another All White Party.
The South African based socialite is also in advanced stages of shooting a reality show that will be airing on one of the local TV stations. Bad Black's wallet had humbled the likes of Judith Heard and Zarie with the way she was putting up parties like the Black Gal Party, with no entry fees and booze was flowing on the house before she was remanded to Luzira for allegedly embezzling US$ 4m that belonged to a real estate company.
Zari's customised black Chrysler was impounded a month back at Busia border for over staying. Officers at the Revenue Authority customs department are demanding that she pays her dues within two weeks or they will take other measures in recovering their dues.
Zari actually confirmed this on her wall that; "One of ma monster black baby was pounded(meant impounded) at Busia as it made it's way back home (S.Africa), lol ma bad. Surely it overstayed. Wanted to bring it back and import some bigger, bigger wheels.
But anyway, we are all not above the law. so I've got to pay ma dues". The South African based Zari has also intimated on his wall that she is shooting her reality series that will be screened on one of the local TV stations though she could not give more details at this time.
You can watch that space for Zari's rides, her children in the football academy, LV shopping and one of the scenes when she tries to shoot a video and may be swimming in her pool at home are some the scenes that you should expect in the reality series being shot by Zari.

It is now clear and confirmed that Bad Black's party has had an impact on whatever party that South African based artiste Zarie is planning to hold on July 29. In the posters that were first released, the date was July 22 and within no time, the date changed to July 29.
Interestingly on the posters there was no mention of how much one was required to part with but there was a statement that 30% of the proceeds would go to charity. She later announced that the charge was $100 or Ugx 250,000/- per person and there were only 100 seats available.
Her fellow investors or advisers were quick to tell her that the economy is biting that even when you reduce the number of guests to 50, you might not raise half that number so as we speak, the theme of the party has long changed from 'Bow Ties and Tiaras' to 'Mid-Year Fiesta', on the same date but different location and at a fairly affordable price of 30,000/-
Some party animals have even come out giving credit to Bad Black like this one; "Black throws her bash to have fun and celebrate her B.D & not like local nothing doers like Zari who just want to show off. Black's party was free and yet a number of talented artistes performed but Zari's parties are for alcohol only and her boring music "
Hardly days after the Black Gal Party dust settles down South African based Ugandan artiste Zarie Hassan in conjuction with Elyt Magazine has bounced back with a 'Bow Tie and Tiara Dinner' that will be held at Serena Hotel Kampala - Pearl of Africa restaurant on the 29-July-2011.
The gents will be clad in bow ties while the ladies will be dressed in Tiaras or else you will be bounced. 30% of the proceeds will go to charity. The last time Zari was behind a similar happening was during the All White Party at Guvnor.
Bad Black worked very hard to out smart Zari's All White party but a power surge let her down for close to three hours. Some patrons hanged on as the engineers restored the problem but others simply retired to bed.
At this rate Zarie is just not about to see anyone making headlines when it comes to the parties. She is into music and a school in South Africa whereas Bad Black is loaded but it is not very clear what she does for a living.
At the time of the black out, Bad Black had not yet arrived at the venue, we are yet to establish what exactly happened to her on learning that after injecting close to 70mn in the bash, the party ended before it could start.The Birthday gal who was to celebrate her day on turning 22 years which many of her followers are disputing was very disappointed when a power surge blew up all the equipment and lighting at Club Rouge bringing to an end the party which was going to leave a legacy in all the celeb parties that had been held around Kampala.
Black hired a black limousine just like Zarie did during her All White Party to clearly make a statement to her that she rules when it comes to the money game.
Its amazing how days move so fast but we have another 365 days behind us and below we take you through the popular stories of 2010.
Desire Given a Run for Her Money - It all started when Desire went to the UK for her birthday party a few months back and being a celeb she is, fans were posing with her for photo shoots and one of them happened to be Julie Kaka. Julie was doing very well as that black outfit did some justice to her. She however looks different while donning white fitting clothes.
Desire Vs Zari - Now this one is about Desire but this time being compared with Zari as it turned out the two loved posing for the camera but as the comparison went on, it touched on their music, dressing, and to some extent their private lives but it was the most popular before the Julie/Desire bit over took.
Big Momma Treat at PAM Awards - This actually happened on Nov 6 during the PAM Awards where Straka was one of the MCs during the award giving ceremony. She had her theme which was the 'Girl Child' and she kept on running a good campaign about the girl child on matters to do with defilement, educate the girls as opposed to keeping them in the kitchen and so forth which was very okay per say. She however killed it when she tried to dress like a school girl fat as she is, tried to dance around and in the process revealing what was better off leaving back stage. This made her win various awards for clown of the year.
Bebe and Zuena at Kadic Hospital - This shocked very many. Bebe and the wife got an accident after performing up country on their way back, the Honda RVR they were travelling in got a tyre burst. Zuena sustained serious injuries as Bebe was admitted with minor injuries.
Boys Earning from the Mic - That was as simple as the statement went but it looked like some of our readers were trying to suggest that DJ Michael was not earning from the mic after being lined up with the likes of Moze, Weasel, Bebe Cool, Bobi Wine and Dr. Chameleone.
Uganda's Davis Ntare Wins Tusker Project Fame 4 - Back in Kenya it was Tusker Project Fame 4 in which Juliana Kanyomozi was one of the judges, Rachel Namubiru made it to the top and Davis Ntare who tried the TPF3 version and failed emerged the winner of Tusker Project Fame 4.
Kampala City Hit by 3 Bomb Blasts - Now this was a sad affair that left over 70 dead after the Al-shabab hit Kyadondo Rugby Club and another bar making life very difficult for parties around the city and also affecting artistes equally as trends changed there after though it has now started to pick more so with the beefed up security.
Nigeria's Uti Wins Big Brother Africa All Stars - It was yet another Big Brother though this one had no shower hour but featured previous film stars er.. big brother stars like Tatiana, Meryl, Munya but Tawana and Ofunekka were not among the stars in the All Stars version. Uganda was represented by Hannington Kutesa who lost his cool after South Africa's Lerato played games with him only to be disqualified 3 days later. At the end of the game, Nigeria's Uti who even lost his father while in the Big Brother House emerged the winner taking the USD 200,000 prize.
Bebe Cool Shot in the Nakumatt Sex Scuffle - Most of our artistes will produce very good music once provoked and if only they can borrow a leaf from the likes of R.Kelly who had just performed in Uganda a night before Bebe was shot, then our music could be at even a better level. After the R.Kelly show, Bebe retired at Effendy's but met some guys he terms as bad company so he excused himself and was moving towards Nakumatt. He met a couple in some old car and tried to intervene, the next minute he was crying for his dear life.
You Want Another Rap - Very interesting indeed because You want another Rap is a title which in most cases comes before you've listened to a rap but in this case you are bing asked You want another Rap leaving you with no choice but to say Ye Ssebo followed in that order but bearing in mind that it also came in the last quarter of the year, it was by all standards popular.
During the interview, MC Kats caught up with his baby mama on a number of issues ranging from her Extended Play that she will be releasing soon, the two collaboration songs that King Saha agreed to work on with Fille.
Asked what the magic was, and Hellen was like and that is nothing, he is capable of a lot more.
"I have two children, Ata and Ark, with my Heaven sent Anwar, we have been together for five years. I am a good person and my hubby is the only one in this world, he was made for me and by the way, that is nothing compared to the things he has done."
In a Snapchat post decorated with green snakes emojis, God's Plan who is currently in the UK has revealed how the 'Bango' singer ended up dating his then girlfriend Sheilah Gashumba.
"He used to come to my apartment to chill, drink and eat food..."
Not long back, when Zari was explaining how she hit the rocks with King Bae, who turned out to be romance scammer, she said that it is not about money when it comes to dating her, so even the not so loaded guys were welcome to give it a try, but looking at her new lover, GK Choppa, he seems to be wearing two faces, in him you see a combination of her late hubby and Diamond Platnumz.
