The relationship between Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan and Tanzanian star singer Diamond Platnumz taught Kenyan songbird Akothee true love.
Speaking during an interview on Radio Citizen's Mambo Mseto show on Thursday, Akothee claimed she has been a close friend to Zari since the time she was engaged to Diamond and learnt a lot from them.
Akothee revealed that she accompanied Zari while shopping for her daughter's clothes before she was born.
"We have been friends with Zari for a long time leave alone nowadays that we talk on social media. Even you Tuva you know. Even the time that she was pregnant with Tiffany, we were with you in Tanzania and went shopping for the baby. She is a woman whom I have loved since the time she came to social media. I love the way she carries herself and the way she handled her relationship with Diamond made me believe there is love."
(Tumekuwa na ukaribu na Zari tangu kitambo sio ata kwamba saa hizi twaongea kwenye mtandao ama nini. Ata Tuva wewe mwenyewe unajaua. Ata ile wakati alikuwa na mimba ya Tiffany tulikuwa na wewe Tanzania tukaingia pale babyshop tukafanya few shopping. Ni mwanamke ambaye mimi nilianza kumpenda tangu kitambo alipokuja kwebye mtandao maanake napenda vile Zari anvyojibeba, na vile alivyokuwa akibeba uhusiano kati yake na Diamond. They made me believe that they is love)," Akothee stated during the interview with Mzazi Willy M Tuva.
Zari and Diamond broke up in 2018 amid cheating allegations. The two ex-lovers have since moved on, Zari tying the knot with another man a fortnight ago while Diamond is hooked to Kenyan media personality, Tanasha Donna.
