South Africa-based Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan is still trending since videos from her all-white birthday party surfaced online.
In one of the viral videos, shared on TikTok by @pulse, Zari could be seen giving a speech surrounded by her five children, all in white.
She thanked those who were present at her function, affirming they were friends she could count on.

However, what got many people talking was her husband, Shakib Lutaaya, missing in action for her 44th birthday party.
While giving her speech, Zari said:
"I would like to thank everyone who made this happen: my friends, the Ugandan community, and some of them who are sitting here. Thank you for loving me how you love me. I have friends who love me unconditionally because, in this generation, people love you because of benefits. You all here are genuinely my friends."
Her baby daddy, Diamond Platnumz, who had previously been in South Africa to see the kids, was also absent from the party.

Here are some of the comments from social media users:
@Iribagiza MaryAnn said:
"Family is more crucial than a partner. Happy birthday wise lady."
@Kyle24 said:
"Her speech is making me emotional."
@Johns said:
"Where is Shakib."
@Essy Baibe said:
"Where is Shakib and Diamond? Happy birthday to Zari, though."
@Caroline Ogada said:
"Look at her children, Zari is the winner here."
@melly Mono said:
"I swear money is so good."
@Evelymaundo said:
"Happy birthday to her, and more blessings."
@Hajjat Firdausi said:
"Happy birthday to you, queen wange."
Zari recently defended herself after Shakib became mad at her baby daddy for showing up unannounced at their daughter's party.
This saw Zari blast him online, saying he was bringing nothing to the table and even asking women who desired him to have him.
However, Shakib clapped back, calling his wife a miser while also noting that she was too old to give him a child.
