In a viral video filmed by Zari, Tanzanian music mogul Platnumz is seen walking with his kids Princess Tiffah and Prince Nillan, with Shakib in tow at a South African airport.
At some point, Platnumz is in the middle of the two kids he shares with Zari holding their hands while Shakib is on the extreme right holding Nilan’s hand.
The kids, who were flying to Tanzania with their father, are later seen hugging Shakib goodbye before Platnumz follows suit.
Zari captured the beautiful moments on her phone.
Mixed reactions emerged from Ugandans on Twitter, with some saying Zari is in charge and the men are following her lead.
Others said Shakib wanted a photo moment with Platnumz that’s why he came with. Another section of tweeps hailed Shakib for being there for his wife and supporting her in her co-parenting journey.
Some comments were just funny as seen below:
“A Queen👑 ! Money has nothing to do with this, co-parenting has EVERYTHING to do with kids' happiness... Nothing less, nothing more. Parents can go project their issues and settle their beef somewhere else, please,” said on tweep.
Kakwenza Rukirabashaija said: “When you’ve Money everything is possible.”
Another tweep said: “Give this woman a job at the African Union”
Said another: “It's a blended family, and if the situation is genuinely as portrayed and not just social media hype, it's quite commendable. If those children are comfortable and happy around him and their biological father is supportive, why should that bother anyone?”
“It’s really killing some of y’all to know that there are actual people that can respectfully and maturely co-parent and co-exist💀 You thought that it stops in the movies and series you watch? 😂😭🤷🏾♀️What exactly is wrong with Zari’s husband and stepdad to her kids being present?” another said.
Zari and Shakib got married this year.
