Bebe Cool defends polygamy: “Marrying multiple women is okay”

• Bebe Cool endorsed polygamous marriages, stating that marrying multiple women is not only acceptable but also practical—especially in African contexts. 
• The singer praised his wife Zuena Kirema for her discipline, crediting her for his monogamy and stable career. 
  

Musician Moses Ssali alias Bebe Cool has given his opinion about polygamous relationships and this might arouse various opinions. Speaking in an interview on Galaxy TV, Bebe said that marrying multiple women is okay.

The singer said that when he was younger, he vehemently opposed and criticized men who married various women. However, after growing up he realized why our ancestors across Africa married many women and had many kids.

On why he didn’t marry various women himself, the Hips Don’t Lie singer said that he’s lucky that he married a well disciplined woman, Zuena Kirema.

If she had not crossed his path, the singer said that he would also have been in numerous relationships and maybe even his career wouldn’t have panned out the way it did.

“When I was young, I was against men marrying multiple women, but as I have grown, I have realized why it’s okay to marry many women. If I hadn’t met Zuena who is the greatest blessing of my life, I’m sure I would’ve had many women. She however kept me grounded and my career turned out this way thanks to her discipline,” he partly said.

Additionally, the singer said that men marrying different women and having different kids saves them a lot from various challenges.

He said that the kids from one woman could have health complications such as sickle cells, they could also be academically dumb among other things. But with different wives and kids, a man can barely find such problems thus his endorsement for polygamy.
