Ghanaian Afrobeats and R&B star KiDi, born Dennis Nana Dwamena, has shared how he deals with advances from women.
His music, filled with themes of love, desire, and flirtation, has earned him huge admiration, particularly from female fans, earning him monickers like Girl Dem Sugar and Sugar Daddy, among other nicknames he proudly owns due to consistently leaning into romantic storytelling.
In a candid interview on Joy Prime’s entertainment magazine show PrimeTime, hosted by George Quaye, the award-winning artiste discussed the challenges of fame and the attention it brings, especially from women.
In response to how he handles the attention from women, he explained that, “There’s no rule book on how to deal with these things; just grace and making sure that you’re disciplined.”
When asked whether he intends to marry, he said yes but admitted he is unsure about his readiness and the timing for such a lifelong commitment. He confirmed he was currently single and not in a relationship with any woman.
KiDi disclosed: “KiDi is getting married, but we don’t know if it’s soon. It’s something I want one day, but I don’t know if I’m ready for it yet.” Asked if there was a special woman in his life, he replied: “No.”
He also reflected on his determination to stay authentic in his craft despite the demands of fame, explaining that his personal experiences shape his music, allowing him to create songs that resonate deeply with fans.
KiDi, the voice behind hits such as Odo, Touch It, Say Cheese, Enjoyment, and Adiepena, has gained international recognition and was crowned Artist of the Year at the 2022 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards. His soulful and romantic style has endeared him especially to women, cementing his place as one of the most adored acts of his generation.
In late April, KiDi made it clear that a woman’s sexual history plays a significant role in whether or not he would consider her for marriage.
Speaking on the Rants, Bants and Confessions podcast, the “Likor” hitmaker stated that while he has no problem with a woman’s body count in a casual relationship, he thinks differently when it comes to a lifelong commitment.
“If we’re just having a good time, having fun, I don’t care. But if you’re someone I’m going to call mine, it matters,” he said.
KiDi explained that when he envisions a future with someone, her past matters to him—not just physically, but emotionally. He believes that multiple intimate connections could leave behind emotional baggage that might affect a committed relationship.
“I don’t want to walk into a space and see all the guys eyeing each other. I don’t want a woman who has given her body and soul to too many people, because when I meet you, I feel like I’m meeting a very degraded version of yourself,” he added.
His comments stirred mixed reactions online, with some agreeing with his perspective while others found it controversial.
In May, he jokingly announced that he is the latest prophet to hit town. He commented after his predictions for the outcome of a football game between Arsenal and Madrid on Spotify came to pass just as he expected.
During an engagement with Derrick Elorm Ashilevi on "Talk No Dey Cook Rice Podcast", KiDi was asked by the host how he felt about such an experience.
In response, the musician humoursely declared, "I mean, I feel like you people should be asking about your future now …So I can tell you what's going to be happening tomorrow," while he bursts into laughter.
KiDi has established himself as one of Ghana's top contemporary artistes as he blends his music with Afrobeat, Highlife and R&B influences.
