Shakib Cham has openly criticized his wife, Zari Hassan, for not shielding him from public embarrassment. He expressed his frustration, highlighting how singer Rema Namakula manages her relationship with her husband, Dr. Hamza Ssebunya, compared to how Zari handles theirs.
In a conversation with a YouTuber, Shakib shared his disappointment with Zari’s behavior. He believes that Zari has not shown the respect he deserves, particularly when it comes to their public image. “Rema Namakula has always upheld her partner’s dignity despite her past with Eddy Kenzo,” Shakib pointed out. He contrasted this with Zari’s actions, which he feels have subjected him to ridicule and negative public perception.
Shakib Cham mentioned that the internet has labeled him with derogatory names, accusing him of being financially dependent on Zari Hassan. He feels that these accusations have only been fueled by Zari’s public actions and statements.
Referring to Rema Namakula, Shakib admired how she has handled her relationship with Dr. Hamza with care and respect. Even though Rema shares a child with Eddy Kenzo, she has never allowed their past to tarnish her current relationship. “Rema has never embarrassed Dr. Hamza publicly,” Shakib noted, emphasizing that she has avoided unnecessary public interactions with Kenzo since marrying Dr. Hamza.
Shakib’s grievances stem from his desire for a relationship where his dignity is protected. He wishes that Zari would handle their partnership with the same respect that Rema displays in her marriage. “I want a partnership where my dignity is upheld,” Shakib concluded, expressing his hopes for a change in how Zari manages their public life.
