‘Not Everyone With Kids Should Marry’ – Dance Queen, Kaffy Explains In New Interview
Popular Nigerian dancer, Kafayat Oluwatoyin Shafau, popularly known by her stage name Kaffy has opined that not everyone with kids should tie the nuptial knot.
According to the 43-year-old mother of two, having children should not be a requirement for people to get married.
She made this known during a Facebook live session with On-Air personality, Daddy Freeze.
During the session, the divorced mom reiterated that it is wrong to force people into marriage because they had children out of wedlock.
In her words:
“If my son grows up and realizes he has battled with keeping a woman and he is trying to make a decision, I will advise him not to get married.
“I am not the kind of parent that will say ooh because she is pregnant, marry her. I am not going to do that.

“I do not believe that having kids should tie anybody into matrimonial bondage. Not everyone that has children should be a parent, they do not even have parental qualities.
“I think tradition sometimes puts us in some kind of cage, you give am belle, marry am. But unfortunately, humanity is complicated, everything is not black and white, and there are grey areas in human behavior.
“Should I marry a lunatic just because they are pregnant for me? Or should I marry someone that is not wise? I think the choice is in the reasoning, I am not going to tell my son to marry if he is not what a responsible husband will be.”
Kaffy and her estranged husband, Joseph Ameh, a music producer, tied the knot in 2012. In 2022, she confirmed the end of their union, which produced two children.
