“High Body Count? Just Vibes, No Vows” — Kidi Sparks Debate on Dating Standards

Ghanaian Afropop star Kidi has stirred social media waters with his hot take on women and body counts. In a recent episode of the Ghanaian Gen Z podcast “Rants, Bants and Confessions,” the ‘Cheat On You’ hitmaker candidly laid down his standards — and the internet hasn’t stopped talking since.

Responding to a question on whether a woman’s sexual history matters in a relationship, Kidi didn’t mince words:

“If it’s just for fun, I don’t care. But if I’m going to call you mine, it matters. I don’t want to walk into a room where most of the guys have history with my woman.”

The singer further explained that he views emotional and sexual experiences as parts of a person being ‘shed’ over time:

“If you’ve been with 50 men, that means you’ve shed 50 bits of yourself. So, what is left for me?”

💭 Opinion: Brutally Honest or Emotionally Insecure?

Kidi’s comments have unsurprisingly split public opinion — while some agree with his personal preference, others say he’s reinforcing harmful stereotypes about women, sexuality, and emotional worth.

Is body count truly a reflection of someone’s “degradation”? Or is it simply a dated, one-sided metric in an era where people are encouraged to explore, heal, and grow through experiences?

Critics argue that the same standard is rarely applied to men, and statements like Kidi’s only deepen the stigma around female sexuality. Supporters, on the other hand, say he's just stating a personal boundary, and everyone has a right to their preference — no matter how unpopular.
