    Don’t be faithful until you’re married – BBNaija star, Tacha advises ladies

    According to the BB Naija TV star, you have no business remaining faithful to a man you are not married to.

    According to Natacha Anita Akide, better known by her stage name Tacha, the Big Brother Naija reality TV star, it is inappropriate for women to stay faithful to men they are not married to.

    Speaking on the most recent episode of the Spill With Phyna podcast, Tacha advised women to put off thinking about fidelity until they are engaged or married, as there is no legally binding vow that requires faithfulness in a partnership.

    She brashly declared that until a woman is legally married, she should be regarded as single and emphasised the necessity of a concrete commitment—a marriage or a ring—before making a faithful vow.

    “You must be in a relationship and not commit to one another until you most likely receive a ring or get married, at which point you must take an oath. Which oath did you take to prove your faithfulness in a relationship? Tacha made the statement during the podcast, “You are single until you are married.”

    The hiplife icon revealed how the developers and innovators of well-known digital streaming services, like Spotify, are making enormous profits at the expense of the musicians themselves. He also added that the money made by those platforms’ users, especially those from other countries, goes towards supporting the people who created the platforms.

    He continued, “We have a lot of things that we have to look at because the white people are really enjoying our money out of the digital streaming platforms they have created like Spotify and the rest, they are really spending our money, and they always find a new way to rip.”

    Many of these young acts land on rough grounds due some choices and decisions they make. Artistes must be capable of analyzing critical issues and make the right decisions out of. The journey to stardom turns frustrating leaving these young talents confused and desperate to be in the limelight.

    The artiste manager (Manager of Africa Dancehall King, Shatta Wale), using his X formerly twitter, he wrote;

    “It’s my prayer for all young musicians and at large every musician in Ghana to get their due before their expiry date. Don’t do things to impress others and cry in future. Social media will just give you shouts for maximum three days and that will be all. Be smart with your decisions and don’t be moved by the hype. It kills slowly. This is the word of God”.

    Although, social media play vital roles in the lives of celebrities, many are being swayed by the praises and fame instead of focusing on the commercial side of their crafts.

    He advised musicians not to live their lives just to impress people but secure all the avenues within their prime, thus they should make good investments that will yield positive results in their future lives.
