Singer, Seyi Shay Has Eyes Rolling With What She Shares As Acceptable In Her Marriage
Nigerian singer, Seyi Shay got eyes rolling with her recent revelation on what she considers acceptable as she sat with other guests on singer and new mum, Simi’s Stoopid Sessions.
Seyi Shay while discussing marriage on Simi’s show alongside dad-of-one, Seun Kuti, and Cool FM OAP Temi B took an unpopular position regarding fidelity in marriage.
According to the singer, she finds it acceptable if her man is romantically involved with other women outside their marriage.
Seyi, who during the show said she was aware that her view would not sit well with many women, also quite oddly said she would be most comfortable if her man had more side chics than one. In her understanding, if her man keeps only one woman on the side, there’s a chance he might fall in love with that one woman, but if he keeps a number of women on the side, itwould only serve as a past time and she would remain his number one.

The discussion was centred around monogamy and whether monogamy is a realistic expectation in today’s marriages. All three guests seemed to agree that monogamy is becoming outdated and couples are now having extramarital affairs.
They pointed out that as long as the partners are sincere, open, and communicate about it, then they will be able to survive a marriage that isn’t 100% monogamous. Seyi Shay pointed out that she intends to be 100% faithful in her marriage, even though, she would be OK with her husband having multiple affairs.
Seun Kuti then pointed out that most times, women are OK with their men having other women but think they should be faithful to their husbands. He said it’s because of societal conditioning.
Seun said:
“The thing is, I also want my woman to be a complete human being. People mistake that and think it is only men that are allowed to cheat.
What is this thing with women trying to say to themselves, ‘oh, I can’t cheat.’ It’s society… In society in general, women believe that in marriage, the onus is on them to be faithful.
Men can do what they do, as long as they don’t catch them, you know, boys will be boys,
and I feel like it’s society that has told women that they can’t be human.”
Seyi Shay insisted that she intends to be faithful once it’s a marriage and not just a relationship. However, she added that she’ll be OK with her man having side chicks as long as he’s open about it from the start.
She said:
“I know a lot of women will try and bash me for it but I will actually be cool with my man having chicks.
Temi B interjected:
“I will be cool too. “
Seyi continued:
“As long as they’re chicks, and not one. Because if he has one chick on the side, then it’s more likely that he’s gonna fall in love with that one chick but if he’s got like chicks outside and he’s doing his thing but I’m number one clearly in every way…”
Out of the four people present for the Stoopid Sessions, only Simi seemed to agree that monogamy is possible and she appeared shocked when Seyi and Temi agreed that they are OK with infidelity in a marriage.
