Cheating remains one of the hottest topics in Nigeria’s entertainment and lifestyle scene.
After Frank and his ex-wife Sandra publicly accused each other of infidelity, Etim Effiong in a recent podcast gave a controversial opinion on how best to respond to cheating.
Fidelity is a deep personal choice that many celebrities continue to navigate. Some are learning from mistakes, others are setting firm boundaries, and a few are simply being real about human nature. 
Here is a roundup of the opinions of your favourite celebrities on cheating, as they have shared their honest thoughts in interviews, podcasts, and social media.
Davido
Let’s begin with OBO Baddest, Chioma’s Odogwu.
In 2025, on The Breakfast Club, he announced he was a changed man, explaining that cheating was unnecessary chaos he was no longer interested in.
The American radio interview which was held after his traditional marriage to his “rock”, Chioma, was one of the most direct and reform-focused apologies. He openly said, “I said I’m not cheating again. I won’t cheat again. You no hear wetin I talk?” in English and pidgin. “I said I don’t want any wahala. Cheating comes with lots of problems. I have five kids with four women.”
From that interview, Davido suggested the drama from cheating wasn’t worth it. Legit.ng also reports that he stated, “I would rather die than cheat on my wife again.”
After being romantically linked to several women over the years, Davido has five children with four different mothers.
His most prominent relationships include Sophia Momodu (mother of his first child, Imade) and a string of high-profile flings, including allegations of affairs while in an on-and-off relationship with Chioma.

Zubby Michael
Michael has one of the most controversial takes. Earlier in the year, he publicly stated that it is natural to cheat as a man but emphasised he would not tolerate his wife or partner doing the same. If he discovered her cheating, he said he would end the marriage immediately.
A few days ago on X, he tweeted, “Cheating back only lowers your standards when you can actually just walk out of the relationship.”
Kizz Daniel
Kizz Daniel, the father of three with the playboy look, has been strongly pro-fidelity in his public statements.
He has publicly said, “I can never cheat on my wife,” often crediting her early support in his career. According to Music Base Africa, in 2024, he said, “Many think I’m a playboy, but that’s not true. I’ve never cheated on my wife since I met her. As a matter of fact, I try my best to avoid any situation that will push me to cheat… I even had to upload a photo of my wife & kid as my IG dp just to tell these ladies that I’m taken.”
Despite the rumours, he continues to defend their marriage publicly.

Wizkid
Wizzy has always been upfront. In a 2018 interview, he said: “Monogamy isn’t for me. I have many girlfriends, and they all know.”
The Afrobeat giant, who comes from a polygamous family background, embraces transparency over secrecy.
Don Jazzy
As for the music, Don, he has a rather realistic and honest personal view. In an interview with Nancy Isime in 2025, he explained that he doesn’t think monogamy is for him.
“I don’t think I’m built for one person,” he said. “I admire people who can love one person completely and stay committed. But for me, even when I’m in a relationship, that doesn’t stop me from admiring someone else,” he said.
“I respect those who can switch off those feelings. I’m not like that,” he confessed.
Mr Macaroni
Mr Macaroni, who is known for fusing both humour and honesty, described staying faithful in marriage as “very difficult but possible”.
Daddy Wa, in a November 2024 interview on the Diary of a Naija Girl podcast, stated, “It is very difficult not to cheat in marriage.” He described staying faithful as “extremely difficult” but “possible.” He also noted that cheating is not inevitable, but the challenges of lifelong commitment make it a real struggle for many.
Timini Egbuson
In an interview with Toke Makinwa, fine boy Timini noted that, from experience, more of his female friends cheat than male ones.
“Cheating is bad. I hate cheating and people who cheat. But it happens. Why do people steal even when they know that they shouldn’t steal?… The bottom line is that human needs are insatiable,” he said.
“The next person I would date would definitely enjoy, because I am done looking outside,” he added.
In a recent interview with Jay On-Air, he stressed emotional presence, communication, and listening in relationships over just money, implying these reduce relationship breakdowns.
Daniel Etim Effiong
The Nollywood actor believes in staying in a monogamous marriage even after infidelity. He advises that when a partner cheats, the first response should be empathy, not anger:
“How can I help you out of this problem?”
He describes cheating as a trap or “problem” the person is stuck in (he compared it to lying or stealing). Effiong advises the betrayed spouse to focus first on helping them overcome it before addressing the hurt and beginning healing together.
His wife, Toyosi, reinforces this by stating that cheating is not a deal breaker for her in their marriage.
