Zari Hassan isn’t here for your thirst traps especially not when it comes to her sons.
The Ugandan-South African socialite, entrepreneur, and mom of five has sent a blistering warning to women who’ve been flooding her inbox with bold (and frankly, wild) matchmaking requests involving her sons—Pinto (22), Raphael (19), and Quincy (17).
It all started when Zari posted a family photo online that had fans going wild over how grown, handsome, and polished her boys looked. But while compliments are one thing, it seems many took things a little too far.
“Y’all need to relax! These ladies are not only making inappropriate comments under the post but are now sliding into my inbox asking me to hook them up with my sons! Who does that?” Zari fumed in a video posted to her socials.
She continued, sounding more like Mama Bear than the glamorous Boss Lady we see online:
“I get it they’re tall, cute, rich, well-mannered, and own property. I understand the attraction. But approaching me, their mother, to shoot your shot? That’s just nasty.”
Zari, who’s no stranger to younger love (remember her boo Shakib?), made it crystal clear she didn’t get with her man by begging his mom for a hookup—and she expects the same boundaries when it comes to her family.
“There’s the Zari you know from social media, but I’m a mother first. Don’t disrespect me or my children. Know where to draw the line. Calm your libido in other ways this app is not the place.”
Zari’s clapback is a reminder that even public figures have boundaries—and some lines just shouldn’t be crossed. If you were thinking of messaging her to “link up with Pinto”… you might want to reconsider.
