Award-winning Ghanaian Afrobeats sensation KiDi — known offstage as Dennis Nana Dwamena — has stirred social media conversations with his unfiltered views on body count and romantic relationships.
Appearing on the latest episode of Rants, Bants, and Confessions, released on April 23, 2025, the Likor and Lomo Lomo hitmaker didn’t hold back. He explained how the number of past sexual partners a woman has had matters to him, depending on the nature of the relationship.
“If we were just having a good time, we are having fun — I don’t care. But if you’re someone I’m going to be calling mine, it matters,” KiDi stated.

When Body Count Doesn’t Matter: Just Fun, No Strings
Flings vs. Feelings: Drawing the Line
KiDi was quick to clarify that a woman’s body count is of no concern to him when it comes to casual encounters or flings. As long as it’s a mutual and non-serious interaction, he believes past partners shouldn’t be a barrier to fun or attraction.
“In that moment, I’m not looking for a wife. It’s just vibes and enjoyment,” KiDi said, echoing the carefree ethos of modern dating culture.
This perspective aligns with a broader trend where casual dating norms have shifted globally, as discussed by platforms like Psychology Today.

KiDi Explains Why High Body Count Raises Concerns in Serious Relationships
However, KiDi’s stance shifts when it comes to long-term commitment or marriage. If he’s considering someone as a life partner, he admits he would factor in the person’s sexual history.
“I don’t want to walk into a space and all the guys in there are eyeing each other. I do not want a woman who has given out her body and soul to too many people,” he explained candidly.
He further noted that such history can emotionally “degrade” a person, making it harder to build a genuine connection rooted in emotional freshness and depth.
“By the time I get there, you’ve shared so many parts of yourself… What is left for me?” KiDi questioned.
This insight opens up larger discussions around emotional baggage, personal values, and societal double standards — a topic widely explored in the BBC’s relationship features.
Social Media Reacts: Mixed Opinions from Fans and Critics
Unsurprisingly, KiDi’s comments triggered passionate responses on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. Some fans praised his honesty for standing by his values, while others criticized the perceived double standard.
One user wrote:
“So when it’s just fun, body count doesn’t matter, but when it’s serious, it suddenly does? Make it make sense.”
Relationship Standards in a Changing World
KiDi’s viral remarks tap into ongoing conversations about gender roles, dating expectations, and sexual autonomy. As more public figures share their personal beliefs, fans are left to reflect on what values truly matter in modern relationships.
