Nigerian singer-songwriter and mother of one, Simi has stated that it is okay for women to choose not to cook when pregnant.
The ‘Duduke’ crooner took to her Twitter page on Thursday morning to react to a tweet saying that women should not use pregnancy as an excuse to avoid cooking.
In her words:
”This take is dangerous. Some women ARE sick when they’re pregnant. Some, too weak to do anything. Some pregnancies are high risk.
The fact that ur pregnancy went smoothly and u could live in the kitchen doesn’t mean it’s okay to judge other women that can not or DO NOT want to Women deserve a break from these rubbish takes foggosake.
This is why some random man will be saying, “Other women are doing it. You should too” There’s no trophy for being a problem. Leave people alone.”
