Despite Quincy's insistence that it was just a gathering of friends, Zari expressed her support for him to go out with girls, emphasising that she wouldn't mind if that were the case.
"I’d rather hear you say you’re going out with girls than ‘my friends’. You know, this generation is confused. We want to see you go out with girls. I don’t mind you going out with girls.
“I’m happy, go out with girls… it’s nice. I love it for you guys because the next thing I’m going to be shocked… someone’s going out with a boy,” Zari said.

Zari addresses rumours about son Raphael Junior being gay
In 2021, Zari found herself compelled to defend her son after his social media post led to misconceptions that he might be gay.
In a social media post, Raphael wrote, "...you may judge me, you may think it's not who I am, but in my heart, I find men attractive and not women, but that's just how it is."
However, Zari swiftly defended him, explaining that his remarks during an Instagram Live session were misunderstood. She clarified that Raphael is not gay but is actively dating. Zari revealed that Raphael began dating at 14, often asking for money to go out with his girlfriend.
