Kenyan singer Tanasha Donna has joined scores of friends, family members and well-wishers in celebrating Ugandan businesswoman and socialite Zari Hassan on her birthday.
Zari marked her birthday on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, with messages from people close to her, including her husband, Ugandan businessman Shakib Cham.
Among those who celebrated the mother of five was Tanasha, who kept her message short but affectionate.
Taking to social media, Tanasha addressed Zari as “Mama Tee” before wishing her a happy birthday.
“Happy Birthday, Mama Tee!” Tanasha wrote.
Tanasha and Zari’s unique connection
The birthday message attracted attention because of the unique relationship between the two women, who are connected through Tanzanian superstar Diamond Platnumz.
Zari and Diamond share two children, Princess Tiffah and Prince Nillan, while Tanasha and the Bongo Flava star have a son, Naseeb Junior.
Despite their shared history with Diamond, Tanasha and Zari have maintained a cordial relationship, with their interactions occasionally offering a glimpse into the wider family connections surrounding the singer.
Their children have also maintained a relationship, with Tiffah, Prince Nillan and Naseeb Junior occasionally interacting and appearing together during family occasions.
Tanasha’s recent relationship with Diamond’s family
Tanasha’s latest birthday message comes against the backdrop of her continued cordial interactions with members of Diamond’s extended family.
In August 2026, Tanasha visited Diamond and singer Zuchu after the birth of their daughter while she was in Tanzania.
The visit generated attention online as she congratulated the family and acknowledged the newborn as her son Naseeb Junior’s sister.
The interaction added another chapter to the evolving relationship between the different families connected to Diamond.
Shakib celebrates Zari
Tanasha’s message came shortly after Zari’s husband, Shakib Cham, publicly celebrated her birthday with a romantic tribute.
Shakib described Zari as his “beautiful wife” and “queen”, wishing her happiness, love and blessings in the new year of her life.
“Help me wish my beautiful wife a very happy birthday! May this new year bring you endless happiness, love, blessings, and everything your heart desires,” Shakib wrote.
He concluded his message with an affectionate declaration of love.
Zari has continued to command a significant following across East Africa, balancing her public profile with her business interests and family life.
Her birthday celebrations have consequently attracted attention from fans and fellow celebrities across the region.
Tanasha’s simple “Happy Birthday, Mama Tee!” message has now added another public display of the cordial relationship between two women whose lives have remained connected through their children with Diamond Platnumz.
