• Zari Hassan says people should stop interfering in other people’s relationships.
• She suggested the public breakup with Shakib Lutaaya helped motivate him ahead of his boxing match against Arrow Bwoy.
• The socialite says those who rushed to judge their marriage ended up embarrassed.

Socialite Zari Hassan has urged social media users to stop interfering in other people’s relationships, saying many online commentators often rush to judge situations they do not fully understand.

Zari, who is currently enjoying a family vacation in Uganda with her husband Shakib Lutaaya, addressed the criticism that followed her recent public fallout with her husband ahead of his boxing match against Kenyan musician Arrow Bwoy.

The couple had sparked widespread speculation after Zari hinted on social media that their relationship had come to an end. The posts quickly went viral, with fans and critics offering opinions and predicting the end of their marriage.

However, after Shakib’s victory in the celebrity boxing bout, the two appeared together again, putting to rest rumours that they had permanently separated.

“People should stop putting their noses where they don’t belong. Many have fought other people’s relationships with their opinions, only to end up ashamed. That breakup motivated Shakib for the fight, and those social media angels ended up embarrassing themselves,” Zari said.

The Ugandan-born businesswoman maintained that not everything shared online should be taken at face value and advised people to focus more on their own lives than constantly analysing celebrity relationships.

The socialite’s remarks have since sparked fresh debate online, with some praising her for speaking out against social media interference while others questioned whether public figures can expect privacy after sharing personal moments online.

For now, Zari and Shakib appear to have moved past the controversy, choosing to enjoy their time together in Uganda despite the intense public scrutiny surrounding their relationship.
