"Waaauuuuw kapauuuuu thank you for 6MILLION, I appreciate you so very if not 10much," Zari Hassan wrote on Instagram.

Zari Hassan began gaining popularity after she was married to Ugandan millionaire and business tycoon Ivan Ssemwanga. Shortly after their divorce in 2013, Zari Hassan moved to South Africa leaving behind an already established fan base in Uganda. 

Her stay in South Africa earned her even more followers as she builds another fan base in the southern part of the continent. She then got engaged to Tanzanian star singer Diamond Platnumz who commands an extremely huge following on social media. The relationship no doubt earned her new fans in Tanzania hence expanding her fan base.

Kenya is also one of the countries where Zari Hassan has a good number of followers. On the few occasions that she jetted into the country, she was received with overwhelming reactions on social media. In her most recent trip to Kenya, Zari Hassan in partnership with Kenyan singer Akothee planned an event whose aim is to train women.
