Zari finally reveals her boyfriend Shakib Cham’s age…
Classy socialite, Zari Hassan has come out to defend herself after facing heavy criticism, banter and trolls for making out with ‘younger boys’.
About a month ago, Zari left Netizens in wonderland after she was smoked out in a nightclub, grinding a young guy. It later came to light that she and Chap are not just friends but partners in passion.
She took to her Instagram page and confirmed their entanglement and told critics off!
“…I am free to do whatever I feel like. Life is too short. I gotta enjoy it as I’m supposed to,” the self-styled Boss Lady barks. Prior to this, she had just had a fling, GK Choppa, which ended as soon as the holy month Ramathan started.
Our investigative Bazzinyi laid a strategy, specifically to uncover the identity of this lucky dude, drilling the tried and tested Zari’s honeypot.
Trust the dedicated Bazzinyi team! Within a short period of time, they had already gathered enough info about the chap.
Shakib Cham is the name of the guy, a Ugandan by Nationality, who was raised in the Kawempe slums. Apparently, Shakib’s work is to look good, smell nice, kwetega and smash loaded mamas. Numerous sources tip us that he is in his mid-20s.
However, Zari claims that Shakib is actually older than what is peddled on the social media streets. In a latest interview with a local media house, the mother-of-five trashed all the allegations that she’s molesting Shakib. She says he is a grown able-bodied chap, who is equipped with all the Zzina skills.
“Why are people mad tho? Shakib is 30. He just looks good…lol. I hear 18 year, 20 year old…molesting. Do they even know the meaning of molestation? Smh,” Zari blasted and vowed to continue making merry with her man.

Zari Hassan has revealed her new lover, Shakib Cham’s age following online slurs from critics claiming that she is molesting a teenager.
For about a month now, Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan has been back in the headlines following footage that went viral of her making out with a one Shakib Cham.
Shakib, a Ugandan city boy, is not the most popular and in efforts to know more about him, a few critics have revealed that he is a young boy raised in the Kawempe slums.
Other netizens on social media claim he is barely 20-years-old and that Zari has made it a habit of sleeping around with young boys.
The South Africa-based socialite and businesswoman, however, trashes the growing allegations that claim she is molesting an 18-year-old.
While speaking to MBU, Zari Hassan made it clear that Shakib is a grown man who just takes care of himself and looks good.
She questioned if those that claim that she is molesting a 30-year-old even know the meaning of the words they use.
“Why are people mad tho? Shakib is 30 he just looks good…lol. I hear 18 year, 20 year old…molesting. Do they even know the meaning of molestation? Smh,” Zari revealed in a conversation with MBU.
Zari is not bothered by what is said by her haters and maintains that she will always love what her heart wants regardless of public opinion.
Well, if he is above 18, she has the right and they look good together, don’t they? We wish them all the best!
