There's nothing Zari Hassan loves more than to use her social media to pen a thought or two. She does so a lot on her Instagram, but she is quickly gaining popularity on TikTok, where her dances with her daughter Tiffah are loved.

On Friday, Feb 24, Zari shared a video on Tiktok dancing and captioned it about the struggles of being a single mum.

"Who said women can't raise kids on their own," she shared.

Adding,

"Yes, women are doing it all lately. Because sometimes, it's the only choice we have #momlife #momprenuer #lovelife."

One fan was quick to call her out noting that her baby daddy Diamond Platnumz provides for his two children Tiffah and Prince Nillan.

Zari agreed but pointed out that he is not actively raising them with her physically and emotionally.

"Financially supporting me doesn't mean raising a child. know the difference 💯"

Reactions to her video include;

She has often spoken out about the struggle of being a single mum in the past.

She had been speaking to her friend Akothee about planning a Kenyan trip. It didnt work out because both families couldn't agree

"Yes it's tough, but we have been built to do it and we are doing it great. I will celebrate you my sister because there isn’t much difference. As single mothers, the struggles are the same. We appreciate all women doing it on their own even if we have our 'personal persons' helping on the side. Thank you love, it means a lot,” said Zari.

Zari also went public about Diamond not paying child support during the pandemic. She called him a clown who had failed to feed his own children after the singer announced plans to help 500 people affected by Covid 19.

It all started when Platnumz told millions of his social media followers that although he was amongst those affected by the Coronavirus pandemic, he would use “the little that God has blessed me with “to at least offer a helping hand by paying 3 Months house rent for 500 families as my kind gesture of helping one another during these terrible times of fighting Covid19 for I believe I should share your troubles and your happiness too”.

Zari quickly responded to the singer and father of her two children on Instagram: “But you don’t know what your kids eat or how they sleep if fees and medical insurance is paid.

You will never please the world when your own are not happy and taken care of. You are selling a lie. Some people have become clowns to some of us.”

They had a back-and-forth but finally settled on undisclosed amount of child support.
