While music lovers gathered at Skyz Hotel in Naguru for the Timeless Old School and R&B Experience on Saturday, November 7, 2026, the spotlight unexpectedly shifted to a different kind of performance. As revellers eagerly awaited Shakib Cham Lutaaya to take over the decks, his wife, Zari Hassan, seemed to have other plans, keeping him on a tight leash with a series of video calls that turned his night out into a cat-and-mouse game.
A Night of Music and Marital Check-Ins
Shakib was slated to entertain the crowd shortly after singer Iryn Namubiru's performance, but before he could spin his first track, he found himself answering repeated video calls from Zari. The boss lady appeared determined to ascertain his whereabouts and, perhaps more importantly, his company for the evening. Videos from the event captured Shakib diligently responding to each call, at times turning his phone camera toward the crowd to offer a virtual tour of his surroundings.
According to sources, Shakib even assured Zari that he was alone, but the reassurances did not seem to fully satisfy her. The calls kept coming, and Shakib had to keep checking in, effectively adding a layer of personal drama to the evening's entertainment. For the revellers, the main attraction was on stage, but for Shakib, a parallel show was unfolding on his phone.
The Boss Lady's Watchful Eye
Zari Hassan, known for her no-nonsense attitude and glamorous lifestyle, is no stranger to keeping a close eye on her man. Whether her repeated calls were playful, a genuine check-in, or a way to ensure he didn't get carried away with the nightlife, one thing is clear: Shakib's evening came with an extra assignment, keeping the Boss Lady updated at all times.
The incident has sparked conversations among fans, with some sympathizing with Shakib's predicament and others praising Zari for her vigilance. It's a reminder that even in the glitzy world of celebrity, relationships come with their own set of challenges and dynamics.
As the night wore on, Shakib eventually managed to fulfill his duties as DJ, but not without the added pressure of his wife's virtual presence. The Timeless Old School and R&B Experience may have been about music, but for Shakib and Zari, it was also about trust, communication, and a whole lot of video calls.
