Ghanaian singer Dennis Dwamena, popularly known as KiDi, has stirred public debate with comments he made on the Ghanaian Gen Z podcast Rants, Bants and Confessions.
During the episode, the ‘Cheat On You’ hitmaker revealed that while he is open to casual sexual relationships with women who have a high number of past partners, he would not consider them for a serious relationship or marriage.
When asked by the podcast’s co-host, “When it comes to body counts, does it matter how many men a woman has been with?” KiDi responded candidly.
“If you are just having a good time, we are having fun, I don’t care. But if you are somebody I am going to be calling mine, it matters,” he said.
“I don’t want to walk into a space and all the guys there are looking at me somehow because they have history with the woman I am with. I don’t want a woman who has slept with too many men. Because then, when I meet you, I am meeting a very degraded version of you.”
Challenging his viewpoint, the co-host further asked, “How are you meeting a degraded version of the person?”
KiDi replied, “By the time I get there, you have given yourself emotionally to 50 men who have all obviously done you wrongs in some way because you are still single; that means 50 people that you have been with did not work.
“We all know that when you give yourself to people, after it doesn’t work, you shed a part of you. There is some bit of you that you shed when you leave somebody, you go to the next person, you shed some part of you, you go to somebody else, and repeat because you learn something from there. If you’ve shed 50 bits of you, what is left for me?”
KiDi’s remarks have since sparked a wave of reactions online, with many debating the implications of his views on modern dating and respect for personal histories.
