Young, Famous & African returned to screens on May 19, 2023, and saw various cast members engaging in heated conversations over the course of nine episodes. Two of the cast members who failed to see eye-to-eye were Zari and Fantana. Since Fantana is romantically involved with Zari's ex-husband Diamond, Zari isn't completely on board with it.

During episode 8, the two were hanging out with the rest of the female cast, and the tension between them finally escalated into a confrontation. When Annie showed up at the gathering, Zari told her about all the things she had missed in the past couple of days. She even stated that Annie had missed Fantana getting with Diamond. Zari added that “they’re making music in bed and in the studio.”

Fantana, on the other hand, was not happy that Zari kept bringing Diamond up and felt that the topic wasn't relevant to Annie especially the way it was brought up. While other cast members tried to make the women realize that Diamond was the real problem in the equation, the two didn't hold back and got into an argument.

Fans took to social media to chime in about the fight and while many of them supported Fantana's stand, others spoke up in Zari's favor. One person even went on to say that Fantana "dealt with Zari the way she deserved."
