In the buzzing world of Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan, a recent incident has stirred up controversy, putting her in the hot seat. The South African-based influencer is now under scrutiny for allegedly snubbing a colleague’s high-profile event in London.
According to Lady Naaaa, a Tanzanian-born promoter working in the UK, Zari had been hired as the star attraction for the Zari All White Party Birmingham edition. The promoter admits to having paid for all of Zari’s travel expenses. However, things took an unexpected turn when Zari expressed her desire to bring her husband, Shakib Cham, along. She pleaded with the promoter to handle Shakib’s travel arrangements, promising to deduct the expenses from her performance fee.
Upon reaching the UK, Zari Hassan made additional demands, including the purchase of a suitcase and other items, which the promoter obliged. Just hours before the event, Zari dropped a bombshell, confessing that she intended to retire to her hotel room and sleep instead of attending the party.
In response to the promoter’s inquiry about this sudden change of heart, Zari revealed that she wouldn’t grace the event unless she received her performance fee in cash. Panicked, the promoter rushed to the nearest ATM to withdraw £230, as she had no cash on hand, and paid Zari.
The promoter recalls that after receiving the money, Zari Hassan began applying her makeup but appeared visibly intoxicated due to spending the day drinking with Shakib Cham.
To the promoter’s dismay, Zari later decided not to attend the party at all. Feeling perplexed, the promoter took to Snapchat, apologizing to her fans for Zari’s absence. She claimed that the initial agreement had been breached and argued that she couldn’t have flown Zari from Africa to the UK without proper compensation.
An audio recording reveals Lady Naaaa’s determination to ban Zari from the UK unless she compensates her with a staggering £10,000. Lady Naaaa emphasizes that since she had obtained a work permit for Zari Hassan, which went unused, she intends to make sure justice is served.
This incident has cast a shadow over Zari Hassan’s reputation, leaving her entangled in a web of allegations and potential repercussions that could impact her career in the UK.
