Zarinah Tlale, popularly known as Zari Hassan, is a Ugandan socialite, businesswoman, and celebrity who has amassed a fortune from her ventures in real estate, education, cosmetics, and fashion.
However, her wealth has also attracted a lot of speculation and controversy from some quarters who accuse her of using dubious means to get rich.
In a recent video posted on her SnapChat account, Zari Hassan hit back at these allegations and defended her source of income.
She dismissed the rumors of being involved in witchcraft, illuminati, or prostitution as baseless and malicious. She said that she has never engaged in such activities and that she works hard for her money.
“I wake up in the morning and sit on my laptop and work, I hustle for my money and wealth despite my history with Ivan Ssemwanga,” she said.
Ivan Ssemwanga was Zari’s ex-husband and the father of three of her children. He was also a wealthy businessman who died in 2017.
Zari Hassan urged her critics to stop spreading lies about her and focus on their own lives. She said that she is proud of her achievements and that she will continue to pursue her goals and dreams.
Zari Hassan is one of the most influential personalities in East Africa with over 12 million followers on Instagram.
