Why Shakib has no one to blame in his marriage to Zari

This week has been nothing short of a rollercoaster for Zari Hassan's husband, Shakib Cham, who has found himself repeatedly humiliated in the wake of Diamond Platnumz's surprise appearance at their daughter Tiffah's birthday.

But before you start shedding tears for Shakib, let’s break down the drama.

The Backstory

After Diamond's unexpected cameo, a livid Shakib reportedly confronted Zari behind closed doors.

But Zari, never one to mince words, publicly clapped back, telling him to either toughen up or step aside if his insecurities about Diamond were too much to handle.

Yet the hits kept coming. Just yesterday, Zari’s manager, Galston Anthony, chimed in with his own take on why Diamond doesn’t seem to take Shakib seriously.

In a brutally honest social media post, Galston pointed out that Shakib’s insecurities likely stem from his lack of personal accomplishments compared to Diamond’s superstar status. He urged Shakib to overcome his fears and elevate his game.

Now that you’re caught up, here’s why Shakib doesn’t deserve your pity:

Know Your Role and Own It

Like the trophy wives of yesteryear, who were seen but rarely heard, Shakib needs to embrace his role as a trophy husband.

Let’s be real—Zari didn’t choose him for his wealth or intellect. It’s pretty obvious what drew her to him. Wink, wink...

He Chose This Life

This was a partnership entered willingly. Shakib knew exactly what he was getting into when he married Zari—a woman with a past, including five children by two different men. Two of those kids are still young and need their father’s presence, and that father happens to be Diamond Platnumz—a crucial detail in this whole drama.

Zari Is a Boss Babe

Zari has proven time and again, through her relationships with far more powerful men, that she’s her own person. No man, not even a husband, will dictate her moves. If Ivan couldn’t do it, if Diamond couldn’t do it, what makes Shakib think he can?

In Conclusion

This relationship is a two-way street. Zari gets her eye candy and maintains her image, while Shakib enjoys the clout and exposure that come with being by her side.

Zari understands this perfectly. Shakib? Not so much...

A Word of Advice to Shakib

Stop catching feelings and focus on securing the bag. Plenty of men would kill to be in your shoes. Make the most of it while it lasts.
