Zari and the mind games at WCB

Dar es Salaam. They were a celebrity couple that got East Africa talking but when Zari posted that black rose on Valentine’s Day to announce their separation, many hearts were indeed broken.

Then after months of silence Diamond Platinumz released the video of Iyena off his 'A boy From Tandale' album which featured Zari as the bride and Diamond as the groom.

This was not the first time that Zari has featured in a video with her superstar crooner, the first was her appearance in ‘Utanipenda’ which was released two years ago.

The video which features the two in a wedding became an instant hit with some insiders claiming that it was a sign of things to come from the couple, it has so far hit Four Million views in two weeks

In the grapevine, word immediately started spreading that the pair had got back together and that they were set to wed soon.

Diamond’s team was later seen roaming the streets of Pretoria but no one could actually confirm why they were there and the rumours continued to persist to deafening levels.

And as it was proved later, Diamond was indeed in South Africa to play some of his parental duties as a father to Zari’s two children.

As a matter of fact Zari had to clear the air, it was just that and not a reunion as it had been rumoured by her supporters who want to see her back with the ‘Kwangaru’ singer.

Zari Hassan in her usual style finally responded to claims of renewed romance with her Tanzanian ex-lover Diamond Platinumz.

Zari, in an Instagram stories post, explained that she has not reunited with Diamond, and the two have only agreed to raise their children together.

“Just to clear the air we are not back together but we have agreed on co-parenting as per my break up post that we will remain great parents to our lovely kids. Just a little note to all our fans, we love you,” Zari wrote.

In her tone she sounds like a woman who has forgiven but not forgotten for they have two children to raise, and they need them both and not otherwise.

Even after the story of a love triangle that involved Hamisa, Zari maintained that by cheating openly Diamond had disrespected her in many ways.

“Men cheat, but this was way too much in the open that it compromises my integrity and dignity as a human being,” she told a TV station in Kenya.

Her visit to Dar es Salaam to seal a deal with Danube Home was seen as a peace maker that was meant to mend fences with WCB CEO but even this was in vain.

Diamond’s philandering ways would catch up with him as several women continued to come forward to claim they had slept with the superstar who is set to perform at the World Cup this year.

A week after the release of ‘A boy From Tandale’ he posted a raunchy video with Hamisa and some unknown woman something that irked the ire of the Arts Council forcing police to swing into action.

This did not endear Diamond to Zari whatsoever and perhaps it was the last stroke on the horse’s back, she had seen it all and therefore reached a point of no return.

There is plenty of power brokering going on in the back ground with Diamond’s family favouring the reunion with Zari as opposed to Hamisa whom they accuse all sorts of things including one of not being a wife material.

Word has it that the Hamisa and Diamond’s mother don’t see eye to eye with even reports of a fight a fortnight ago at Diamon’s Madale home.

Sandra the family matriach has not helped issues and she has in many her posts stated openy that she cannot see her son end up with someone ‘unworthy.’

She would rather accept former beauty queen Wema Sepetu back in the fold than have to deal with Hamisa as a daughter-in-law.

And with that news still a matter of speculation there is one that say the video vixen has been bought a house in Dar es Salaam by the African Beauty singer.

Much of what is going on could be more of drama and fiction but it is one that has been depicted from a certain book for it is happening in real time with real life characters starring a boy from Tandale.
