Popular TikTok star Aya shared her unique views on men and relationships during a recent live. The 18-year-old influencer spoke about cheating in a relationship and how women should accept it as men’s nature. According to Aya, men are always going to cheat, but then women should tolerate it if it's from a rich partner.

She said:

“No shade, but something that Akademik said he said that all the women back in the day he said that whenever they man cheat they used to hold it in nowadays, b*tches wanna get their bag da da da which is cool by the way but I feel like once you get a man that has status and he got money like that b*tch, oh you can cheat on me all day all night b*tch I don't give a f*ck b*tch you supposed to hold it in as a woman like you actually are.”

Aya said that she believed her claims to be true because her mum told her:

“And I know that's true cuz even my mum told me that. Like she said that all men cheat, and you need to hold it in. You can't be going mad at him because it's their nature, like men cheat, it's their nature, so you can't, like you can't really get mad at somebody for that, you just got to accept it. You know what I mean? Gotta accept that sh*t. B*tch if it wasn't me, he was going to cheat on another b*tch with another b*tch with another b*tch, like let's keep it cute.”

She added:

“Yeah, so that's why I low-key like whenever I had a man, like I low-key now I understand why b*tches would like to f*ck on my man because they are cheat b*tch like who gives a f*ck? Like just cause you got the girlfriend label b*tch that don't mean that you can't just go. If you are still trying to f*ck with him, you can cause they are all going. Just because he said he's got a girlfriend, or she got a boyfriend, you can still get him, or you got him, or you want them.”

As expected, Aya’s comments generated widespread backlash, with netizens mocking her views, calling them outdated, and claiming that she had thrown away her self-worth to seek financial security from high-status partners.
