Aderoju speaks about DNA
She said:
"What the actor said is not easy at all. Unfortunately, women cannot be in such a position, but they might be able to handle it better. We have seen women raise children that are not theirs, so for them, it wouldn’t be a big deal. As for me, if I were a man, I wouldn’t take it. Cheating is a deal-breaker, and I wouldn’t allow the woman and her child to stay in my house."
