Speaking on a recent episode of her Toke Moments podcast, Makinwa explained that women can cheat more easily than men, who often have to invest time, money and effort to do so.
“Cheating is not a dealbreaker for me but it comes with a caveat,” she said.
“As I grow older, I realised that it is not just men who can cheat. Why are we making these men feel so special as if it is only them?”
She added, “Do you know how easy it is for a woman to cheat? It is even easier for us. But men will spend money, efforts and time to cheat… Women cheat more, but they know how to hide it.”
Makinwa further suggested that women’s discretion in such matters reflects strength, noting that a woman not cheating is often not due to incapacity but to personal principles or strength of character.
