However, it seems like someone took pictures of Zahara whilst she battling for her life in hospital and posted them on social media.
The leaking of Zahara’s pictures on social media has sparked outrage, with netizens criticizing those who took and shared her pictures while she was battling for her life in the hospital.
When Zahara was hospitalized her family released a statement confirming her hospitalization and also went on to ask for privacy. However, it seems like someone disregarded their pleas and went on and took pictures of the musician whilst she was in a vulnerable state.
Netizens have, however, found this action to be disrespectful and heartless.
