I never inherited anything from him. There were times we drove a car whose doors wouldn’t even open, but people did not know that.But now when someone sees you posting a Lamborghini they say ‘she inherited it.

Okay, yes we get it that she also helped where she could; but also we cannot overlook the fact that after Ivan Don’s death is when she stopped asking Diamond Platnumz for child support.

I mean, with all that money in her account – lately it appears that Diamond Platnumz is the one doing the begging; unlike back when he used to communicate with mama Tiffah through his lawyers. Aki Wewe pesa!

According to Zari, the first time Ivan hit her was when she was only 3 months pregnant; but being in love – she ignored this not knowing this would grow into a habit.

Abuse starts with a word, it can start with verbal abuse. something that diminishes you as a person. Sometimes it gets very physical and very violent.

It got to a point where my son asked me why he kept doing that (abusing me). It hurt me so badly, it was like a sword had been pierced through my heart.

Well if you thought that this was only happening at home, turns out that Ivan had gotten so much power that he could even hit her in-front of people.

Narrating about one of their public fights, Zari said;

It was something that was in him. He once hit me so badly in a club because someone looked at me. I was never allowed to look at other people. That night he beat me so bad that he almost suffocated me.

But all in all, Zari made it known that her reason for leaving the guy despite being her high-school sweetheart; is because she couldn’t let her boys continue seeing her in such a state.
