Ghanaian gospel artist, Empress Gifty, has shared some controversial advice for unmarried women involved in relationships with married men. In a recent interview on TV3’s New Day, she encouraged these women, commonly referred to as ‘side chicks’, to avoid getting pregnant for the married men they are involved with.
While Empress Gifty acknowledged that the act of being a ‘side chick’ is not a new phenomenon and can be seen in the Bible, she emphasized the importance of not crossing certain boundaries. She warned against getting pregnant for married men, stating that it would ultimately lead to being discarded once the man’s responsibilities kick in.
The singer also brought up the idea that some married men are destined to be helpers or supporters for women who are facing difficulties in life. She advised ‘side chicks’ to not try to snatch these men away from their wives but rather play around and enjoy the financial support they may offer.
Empress Gifty’s comments have sparked debate and raised eyebrows among Ghanaians, with some questioning the morality and ethics of her advice. Regardless, she stands by her words and believes that her opinion is aligned with biblical teachings.
As the discussion continues, it is clear that Empress Gifty’s perspective on ‘side chicks’ and relationships with married men has struck a chord with many, prompting a deeper reflection on the dynamics of such relationships in Ghanaian society.
