Shakib Cham Responds After Viral Video with Another Woman Sparks Controversy
Shakib Cham has found himself at the center of public scrutiny after a video surfaced showing him in a seemingly intimate moment with an unidentified woman. The clip, which quickly went viral, captured the two sitting under a tree, holding hands, and sharing laughter.
Initially, Shakib downplayed the video, claiming it was old footage. However, his wife, Zari Hassan, appeared blindsided by the incident, posting a cryptic yet pointed message on social media:
“Men will leave you in the desert with no water. If I introduce another in-law to you, don’t be surprised.”
In response, Shakib issued a public apology, emphasizing that the woman in the video was merely an acquaintance.
“Me and that person are not dating; I just know them. I want to apologize publicly because my mistake went public. It wasn’t my intention to disrespect my wife, my family, or my friends.”
Ongoing Tensions in Their Marriage
This incident adds to the couple’s ongoing marital challenges, which have been increasingly visible in recent months. Earlier, Zari and Shakib unfollowed each other on social media and removed photos of one another, fueling speculation about their relationship status.
Their struggles first came to light late last year when Zari’s ex, Diamond Platnumz, made a surprise visit to South Africa for their daughter’s birthday. The unexpected visit reportedly upset Shakib, who felt he should have been informed beforehand.
Zari later addressed the issue in an Instagram live session, admitting that she had to “prove a point” to her husband.
“My husband is very insecure, and that is causing a lot of problems. I have to explain everything. I had to go live just to prove a point.”
She didn’t hold back, warning:
“If my guy doesn’t want to recognize who I am, I will definitely find someone who will. I am worth so much more.”
Expressing further frustration, Zari advised Shakib to work on himself instead of projecting insecurities onto their relationship.
“Go fix yourself, the problem is not with me. Go fix your insecurities, bro.”
Despite previously defending him against critics who labeled him as “broke” or “not good enough,” she made it clear that her patience was wearing thin.
“I chose him, and I don’t care what people say, but he better change and recognize who I am.”
Shakib’s Views on Having Children with Zari
Adding to the speculation, Shakib recently commented on their future, stating that he does not expect to have children with Zari due to her age.
Speaking in Luganda, he said:
“I don’t expect to have kids with her. She’s at an age where having children is no longer feasible. I’m not with her to have kids, but I admire and love her.”
With tensions continuing to rise, fans are left wondering whether the couple will overcome their differences or if Zari will follow through on her hints about moving on.
