Ugandan Socialite Zari Hassan Under Fire for 'HIV Comment'

Zari Hassan in an Instagram rant wrote how people think her lavish life is funded by former boyfriend Diamond Platnumz. A scorned Zari could not help but lash out at her critics saying that "she is self-made and child support alone, is not enough to support her lifestyle." She replied with an ARV jibe saying - ropoka kama ARV's kufichwa mchana, kumezwa usiku - that angered her fans and followers who accused her of stigmatizing of people infected with HIV.

Zari Hassan.
