Socialite and businesswoman Zari Hassan has come out strongly against those spreading rumors about singer Rema Namakula and her husband, Dr. Hamza Ssebunya, following allegations of infidelity.
The controversy began when popular gossip personality Senga Acid claimed that Dr. Hamza is secretly seeing another woman, whom he allegedly flies to private islands via helicopter for intimate getaways.
Senga Acid hinted that she’s holding onto “evidence” and is simply waiting for the right moment to release it.
As the gossip gained traction on TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook, more social media users weighed in, fueling intense discussions about the couple’s marriage. Some users quickly believed the accusations, questioning how Hamza could betray Rema, especially given their public displays of affection and seemingly solid relationship.
Zari, however, did not hold back in her response. In a fiery Instagram post, she slammed the online rumor mill and advised Rema to ignore the noise.
“The fact that y’all are so invested in Rema’s relationship… what a sad world we live in. Y’all have no proof, but you’re all over the place like roaches. So what if he cheated? So f**kin’ what, yasose. Mwedeeko! You can drive someone to depression or even suicide. Rema, stay strong it’s the same people who will tear you down and then pretend to care. Don’t give them the satisfaction.”, she wrote.
Zari Hassan also called out the hypocrisy and lack of evidence behind the gossip:
“Funny thing is, no one absolutely nobody has proof. But y’all are out here celebrating. Mufunilawa? Smh.”,she said.
She passionate defense isn’t surprising, considering she has faced similar public scrutiny in her own love life particularly in her relationship with husband Shakib Lutaaya. Over the years, she’s been the subject of numerous rumors, including alleged affairs with her ex, Diamond Platnumz, and claims about Shakib’s supposed flings with younger women in Uganda.
Given her experience, it’s no wonder Zari Hassan felt compelled to speak up in support of Rema. Meanwhile, both Rema and Dr. Hamza have remained silent about the rumors, choosing not to engage publicly.
