Ugandan socialite and businesswoman Zari Hassan has set social media abuzz after sharing a cryptic message that many believe was a subtle response to recent claims made by Diamond Platnumz’s sister, Esma Platnumz, that the Bongo Flava superstar only has three children.
The mysterious post appeared on Zari Hassan ‘s Instagram Stories just hours after Esma made the controversial remarks during an interview with Wasafi FM, where she insisted her brother, whose real name is Naseeb Abdul Juma, has only three children.
Although Zari Hassan did not mention Esma or Diamond by name, her carefully worded message quickly caught the attention of fans, with many social media analysts concluding that it was a sarcastic and clever response to the interview.
Sharing a religious message, Zari wrote:
“Allah is forgiving. May Allah forgive us all. May Allah grant us strength Yaraab. Ameen, Yaraab Ameen!”
The post has since fueled debate online, with many followers interpreting it as a call for honesty and forgiveness amid the ongoing discussion about Diamond’s children.
Esma’s Claims Sparked Debate
The speculation began after Esma Platnumz appeared in an interview with Wasafi FM, where she maintained that Diamond is the father of only three children.
She stated:
“Naseeb ana watoto watatu, na mimi nina watoto wawili mmoja bahati mbaya,” Esma claimed.
Her remarks surprised many fans because Diamond has publicly acknowledged children with different women over the years, while several reports have linked him to other paternity claims.
According to reports by Nairobi News, Esma’s comments reignited the long-running debate over the singer’s family and who she considers his officially recognized children.
Why Fans Believe Zari Was Responding
While Zari offered no explanation alongside her prayer, the timing of her post led many online users to connect it directly to Esma’s interview.
Many social media users argued that Zari’s message appeared to be a graceful yet sarcastic way of expressing disappointment without engaging in a public war of words.
Neither Zari nor Esma has directly addressed the growing speculation.
Zari and Diamond’s Family
It should be noted that Zari Hassan shares two children with Diamond Platnumz, Princess Tiffah and Prince Nillan.
Before her relationship with the Tanzanian singer, Zari had three sons with her late Ugandan businessman husband Ivan Ssemwanga, making her a mother of five.
Despite ending their romantic relationship years ago, Zari and Diamond have maintained a co-parenting relationship, often reuniting for their children’s birthdays, school events and other family occasions.

Diamond’s Family Life Remains a Public Talking Point
Diamond Platnumz’s personal life has frequently attracted headlines across East Africa.
Besides his two children with Zari, he also has a son with Tanzanian model Hamisa Mobetto and another son, Naseeb Junior (NJ), with Kenyan singer Tanasha Donna.
Over the years, there have also been recurring claims and speculation about other alleged children, some of which Diamond has previously discussed publicly without definitive confirmation.
Esma’s latest comments have once again thrust the singer’s family into the spotlight, with fans divided over whether she was referring only to the children officially recognized by the family or making a broader statement.
For now, Zari’s short but powerful prayer continues to generate reactions online, with many believing the Boss Lady delivered her response without mentioning a single name.
