Referencing biblical examples like Abraham, she suggests that the phenomenon of ‘side chicks’ is not new but cautions against crossing certain boundaries. “But I am saying do not go for somebody’s husband and get pregnant for them,” she reiterated.
Empress Gifty underscores the importance of respecting marital bonds and advises ‘side chicks’ to refrain from interfering in established relationships. She suggests that some married men may serve as financial supporters or helpers for struggling women, but urges discretion and restraint.
Ultimately, Empress Gifty’s advice serves as a reminder of the complexities surrounding extramarital affairs and the need for individuals involved to navigate them with care and consideration. While acknowledging the existence of such relationships, she advocates for responsible behavior and encourages ‘side chicks’ to prioritize their own well-being and avoid causing harm to others.
