These are not the best of times for popular Tanzanian act Diamond Platnumz. The Number 1 crooner’s baby mama Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan is currently embroiled in a tough legal battle with her ex husband over the paternity of the new born daughter she had for Diamond.
According to reports, 35-year-old Zari, who has three other children from her previous marriage was served a letter demanding that she undertakes a paternity test on her new born daughter by her ex-hubby’s cousin identified as King Lawrence.
Though she was dating Diamond at the time, she is also accused of sleeping with King. For this reason, King Lawrence is now demanding a full paternity test on the new born, Tiffah in three countries (Uganda, South Africa and USA) and has volunteered to meet all associated costs involved in the process.
See excerpts from the letter King Lawrence’s lawyers sent Zari below:
“We write in respect to the above captioned matter and on behalf of our client King Lawrence. It has come to our client’s attention that you have unilaterally decided to offer the paternity of the above captioned infant to a one Nasibu Abdul Juma alias Diamond Platnumz without considering his strong interests or in fact a real possibility that the child could be his. You have also denied him the slightest access to the child. We therefore write to officially request your cooperation in this matter so that our client’s fears that a child that could actually be his is not nurtured, groomed and raised by another man with a completely different culture. Our client needs to put this to rest, in any event. Our client therefore suggests that three paternity tests are run i.r. One in Uganda, one in South Africa and the last in the United States of America so that our client is either confirmed or completely excluded from being the infant’s biological father. King undertakes to meet all associated costs involved in this process. We believe that this kind request shall be treated with the urgency it deserves but should you not cooperate within seven (7) working days from the date of the receipt of this letter, our instructions are that we take further steps to address our clients.”
Meanwhile, Zari has fired back at her former King Lawrence after the latter challenged the paternity of her new born daughter. In a veiled response on Instagram, she waved-off King Lawrence’s attack as “the misery of a hater.”
“Revenge is for the petty. A BO$$LADY knows that the misery a hater has to live with as they watch her happiness & success is enough punishment. Gotta give ma back to all that BS out there. #iStaySlaying coz people only dim a light that’s too bright for them.” she wrote.
