In a surprising turn of events, Galston Anthony, the manager of entrepreneur Zari Hassan, has broken his silence regarding the escalating conflict between his boss and her husband, Shakib Cham Lutaaya .
Zari and Shakib took their marital feud public, exchanging sharp words online in the wake of tension brought on by the unexpected visit of Diamond Platnumz.
The controversy began when Diamond, who is the father of Zari’s daughter Tiffah, surprised her at the family’s South African mansion for her 9th birthday on August 6, 2024.
Shakib, who is based in Uganda, got furious with Zari for allowing Diamond into their South African home without informing him sparking the ongoing feud.
Zari’s manager Galston Anthony was forced to wade in on the ongoing drama involving his boss and her husband.
In a shocking video, Anthony launched an impassioned tirade against Shakib, criticizing him for displaying what he described as “childish traits.”
The manager accused Shakib of making unfounded claims about Zari’s loyalty, suggesting he is insecure over her past relationship with Diamond Platnumz, who is not only Zari’s ex-boyfriend but also the father of her sons.
“Shakib Shakib Shakib! Look at what it has led me to do. I had to make this video for you. Zari has made a name for himself personally, but you have not yet made a name for yourself.
“Diamond knows he will always drag you down because you have no name on the internet, secondly because you have been chosen by a famous person across the continent and you are starting to feel betrayed,” Anthony stated emphatically.
He further advised Shakib to stop feeling like a victim and start focusing on building his own brand and identity.
“I would like to tell you that you deserve to come forward and stop feeling like you are being betrayed, and start making a name for yourself. And if you feel that Diamond is disrespecting you, don’t invite him to join the circle and beat yourself up,” he added.
Anthony revealed he has interacted with Shakib on multiple occasions and expressed his perception that Shakib is not taking their conversations seriously.
“Now I feel you are not serious, I have met you many times and I have given you advice twice but it is as if you are not paying attention. What do you want me to do? Should I shut up?
“Now Zari will be talking on the internet, she is a superstar, she can do whatever she wants, she is in a place where whatever happens on the internet she can afford and you should be able to afford a private married life,” he advised, leaving little doubt about his position on the matter.
