Controversy Contract breach issue In October 2021, Zizi Kirana's name was hotly debated when the director and producer of the drama Jamu Nesan, Dato' Rafiena Ezanee Ramli, claimed that Zizi had breached the contract by wearing a hijab before the filming process of the drama was completed. The drastic action taken by Zizi Kirana made Dato' Rafiena claim that she had suffered losses and she was forced to drop Zizi's name as the main actress of the drama and replace her with Didi Astillah. However, Zizi later came forward to explain that she had asked for the views and opinions of the mufti regarding the ruling on wearing a wig to make the character successful and the mufti had explained that it was haram even if it was done on a work basis. This was because Dato' Rafiena had previously suggested that Zizi wear a wig to make the character as a mafia leader successful and at the same time wanted to complete the filming process of the drama.

However, Dato' Rafiena once again came forward to explain that she would sue Zizi Kirana due to Zizi's delay in responding to her previously on whether she wanted to continue filming or not. However, Zizi Kirana appealed for Dato' Rafiena not to sue her and to understand her situation now that she is wearing a hijab.
