Bobi Wine also used the opportunity to explain why he is against the controversial age limit bill.

It is over!

Zari Hassan and Diamond Platznumz are no more, that is if the socialite’s recent actions are anything to go by. We have learnt that Zari has erased Diamond out of her life as she deleted all her recent photos with Diamond off her Instagram account. This comes days after she refused to be part of Diamond’s birthday celebrations early this week.

Meanwhile, the couple has lately been going through a tough time after Diamond’s philandering ways were exposed. After being dogged by rumours that he had sired a kid with his video vixen Hamisa Mobetto, the singer recently came out to confirm that the baby was indeed his in a radio interview. This was followed by several other women coming out with implicating photos showing the singer in compromising positions.

It is believed it is this that has caused friction between the couple.

It remains to be seen if this is merely a rough patch in their relationship, or they are done for good.

We will keep you posted.
