Back in 2020, Diana Marua revealed what it is like to be a side chick.
In an emotional youtube clip, Diana said,
“Once you are a side chick, there are dating rules; you can’t call him past these hours, you can’t call him on Father’s Day, over the weekend, on his wife’s birthday. And during the wife’s birthday, he would take her around the world and that made me feel bad. Sometimes I would feel I am not pretty enough to get a man of my own. Other times I felt good because I was always on road trips and you are getting money,” she added.
And recently we saw Kikuyu singer and his side chick Karen Nyamu entertain us with their affair details.
So here is how you know you are a side chick.
They dodge taking pics with you at any chance
He will tell you he doesn’t like getting his picture taken, or he says he has no looks or anything else that will get you stop trying to hit the shutter from going off.
Your so-called ‘special place’ is actually his hideout
Places that aren’t high profile for him is where you’ll spend ‘dates’ on a night out. You may even be forced to drive far to make sure no one spots you two together. So if you drive to say Machakos coz he says it’s a nice place, you a side chick sis.
Family and friend gatherings are out of the question
You are not on the same level as his wife. You will just lurk in his wifes FB page to see what the family is enjoying its time. The only people ou will meet are his pals ok sis?
Netflix and chill typa dates
To avoid being spotted, he will lovingly tell you to hang out at your place, that he is paying for or a rental apartment so that there are no interruptions, just the two of you boo,
Ngoja I call you back
Though this is a typical Kenyan thing, if he frequently interrupts your calls, you are his secret. He speaks in a hushed, low tone or end the discussion mid-convo. Siiiiz, you are a side chick.
Cancelling last minute way too many times
If your man consistently cancels on you at the last minute even though your plans were good to go, sis you are a side piece. Wifi can’t wait like you.
