In fact, the Tetunazina singer cannot imagine living under the same roof with a lover.
She prefers instead living apart from her man, where she can host him briefly at her house, or visit him at his own.
“Some of us have seen society and the things that come with marriage…I have seen my friends and sisters who are in marriage and realised there is nothing in there for me,” she said.
“For me, I have reached a point where I would rather have a partner with whom we are in love, we understand each other and are happy….If he is so good, he can come to my place and do those good things to me and go back.
“There is so much peace with you being there and I am here.”
Been there, done that
