The highly publicised divorce between Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan and her estranged husband, Shakib Lutaaya, has taken a dramatic turn as a financial dispute threatens to stall the legal separation.

According to gossipmonger, kenyan.gossip.club, the celebrity boxer is now demanding half of the money and property accumulated during their union before he agrees to sign the official divorce papers.

Shakib, a Ugandan businessman who gained international prominence through his high-profile marriage to the reality TV star, argues that a significant portion of the multimillion-dollar estate was acquired through the couple's joint efforts. The pair had been together for five years and married for three.

However, the Young, Famous & African star, who was previously married to Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz, is said to have vehemently rejected his claims. Zari maintained that she had already accumulated substantial wealth and property independently long before entering a relationship with Shakib. Furthermore, she stated that no new property was acquired during their three-year marriage, effectively dismissing his entitlement to any assets.

The financial standoff follows Briefly News’ recent report that Zari officially announced the end of their marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. The announcement sent shockwaves through social media, with Shakib initially claiming he was just as surprised by the public breakup notice as the rest of the world.

In the wake of the split, the former couple has scrubbed all traces of each other from their respective Instagram pages, unfollowed one another, and deleted their joint photos.

Critics and fans of the estranged couple across the continent continue to monitor the high-profile separation as the two prominent figures prepare to battle it out in court.
