• The socialite reacted to critics of boyfriend shaming.

Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan has a lot of words aimed at netizens shaming her for dating a young man.

Zari in a video told off naysayers saying she is practically snatching the cradle that

"I've been asked why are you dating a younger man. I've actually people coming to say oh your son is so cute. . Ah no. My boyfriend is not young."

Zari added that bae Shakib is 30 and turning 31 in December 2022.

"My boyfriend is not young. So he is not young He does look young . I am literally turning 42 this year but you wouldn't tell unless you know me."

Zari has five children and said only those close ot her know her real age, whiel strangers keep speculating

"Unless you know ah she's got older kids . If you happen not to know me for instance if you didn't know me before and I pop up with Tiffah and Nillan you would probably think oh those are the only kids she has. But you know it can kinda looks like he is too old . She has kids."

Adding,

"Forgetting some of us had babies when we were young and we started long ago. So why is it when men date younger girls it is ok when it is the opposite, society, society *pointing a finger* society."

Zari has not only dated this young man. Even baby daddy Diamond is much younger. Actually, he is the same age as Shakib, the Ugandan.

She has since been telling society to stop setting standards and let lovers be. She has also said that younger men are attracted to her for her beautiful heart. So there you have it.
