• Shakib's regretful comments come just days after the socialite also apologized to him, admitting that her outburst on social media stemmed from confusion.

Businessman Shakib Cham Lutaya has expressed deep regret over the harsh comments he made about his partner, Zari Hassan, a few weeks ago.

Shakib revealed that these remarks did not reflect his true feelings but were clouded by anger after he saw Zari enjoying herself with her ex, Diamond Platnumz.

Lutaya disclosed that the private conversation during which he made these strong statements against Zari was secretly recorded and leaked by a close friend.

In a recent interview, Shakib explained: “I was not aware I was being recorded. My friend called me right after Zari’s live video went viral, and I was still upset. I was deeply affected by what I saw.”

“I don’t have many friends who look out for me, and when they called, I said a lot out of anger. It wasn’t intended to be that way. I didn't realize I was being recorded. Even though I was angry, there are things I would not have said,” Shakib added regretfully.

Shakib's regretful comments come just days after Zari also apologized to Shakib, admitting that her outburst on social media stemmed from confusion.

She clarified that her recent trip to Kampala was intended to reconcile with her husband, acknowledging that airing grievances online was a mistake.

Zari admitted she let her emotions get the better of her and used an “inappropriate platform” to express her feelings.

In August, Zari had used social media to remind her husband, Shakib Lutaaya, of his minor role in her life, urging him to be more mindful in their relationship.

Her confusion arose when Shakib expressed displeasure at her hosting Diamond Platnumz, the father of her children.

Diamond had traveled to South Africa to attend the birthday celebration of Tifah, a daughter living with Zari.
