As a high-profile celebrity, Zari Hassan is no stranger to scrutiny. Her relationship with East Africa's biggest star, Diamond Platnumz, has been under intense media attention. In a recent interview with Millard Ayo, Zari addressed several rumors that have been circulating about her activities in Kenya.
One of the rumors Zari addressed was that she had engaged in a romantic encounter with a business tycoon while in Kenya. In response, she said, 'I went to Kenya for work. Niliona story mtu amesema ooh nilienda kujiuza Kenya. Sasa wewe kama unadhani mimi hapa nimefika wa kujiuza na wewe ni mwanamke halafu unatamani maisha yangu, kwanini na wewe usijiuze? Ooh sijui kapewa dollar elfu ishirini for one night. Market yourself so that your honeypot can also be worth $20,000. There´s nothing like me selling myself for.'
Another rumor Zari addressed was that she had developed feelings for Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko. She stated, 'If I´m seen with a man, I´m dating them. Also, a fake story about me ´confessing my love´ for governor Mike Sonko has been going round. Right now anyone who wants to be relevant they are using my name to trend. I recently learnt that he was Primrose´s hubby.'
