Zari meets Diamond
Platnumz
After dumping Ivan, Zari
moved on and would then fall in love with another basket-baller, Farouk
Sempala, with whom they had a short-lived relationship. Farouk then went on the
rampage claiming that Zari aborted his kids and that was the reason for their
breakup, according to Uganda Exposed.
In December 2014, a
picture of Diamond, who had just broken up with his bongo movie actress Wema
Sepetu, emerged showing him canoodling with Zari in South Africa. The two
denied being in a relationship, with Zari saying that they were working on some
music project which never materialised.
She said: “Diamond is just
a friend of mine. It’s never been written that females and males can’t be
friends. It is backward people that use that kind of perspective to blow things
out of proportion, ” she insisted.
