On July 11, 2020, Zari Hassan took to Instagram Live to advise women to be more cautious in their relationships, warning them against rushing into love with strangers they barely know.

She expressed concern over the trend of women moving in with their partners after a short period of acquaintance, often met through social media.

‘Nowadays you meet once and he starts to like you. The second day he slides in your DM, the third day you give him your number, the fourth day you’re in his house and on the seventh day you move in. Aaa From DM to bedrooms. You might be moving in with a serial rapist, a murderer… you just met via DM and you’re already dating,’ Zari said during the Instagram Live session.

Her comments come as many speculate that she was directing the message to Tanasha, who got pregnant for Diamond three months after they met. In previous interviews, Tanasha revealed that Diamond sent her a DM and that’s how they hooked up.

Tanasha and Diamond’s relationship didn’t last long, with the two starting to have issues six months before they broke up in March 2020. The mother of one accused her baby daddy of cheating.
