Ghanaian socialite, Michy, has opened up on her understanding of love, saying she thought she had fallen in love when she was young until she later found out that it was lust.
Speaking to Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM's Showbiz A-Z, the former girlfriend of dancehall artiste Shatta Wale said real love thrives in the wake of challenges.
According to her, sometimes people may think they are in love but would later grow to understand the reality.
“I feel I have [fallen in love before] but I was young. And from my perception today I can say it was more a duty of care and probably lust.
We have to be real with ourselves. I feel a lot of people are in sexual relationships and they are hooked but when it comes to the actual scandals and crisis of the relationship, they can’t stand but love withstands those things. So are we in love with each other or we are just enjoying the coitus,” she said.
Born Diamond Michelle Gbagonah, Michy started dating dancehall artiste Shatta Wale when she was seventeen (17) and later had a child, Majesty, with him. However, their relationship fell on the rocks a few years later.

She recounts that even though she is no longer with Shatta Wale, she still holds the opinion that they are better off as business partners or friends.
“The relationship I have with Shatta Wale, it’s gonna be difficult to create that kind of relationship with another person. We are more like best friends. He is like my brother,” she told Delay in an interview 7 years ago.
Michy had also told Delay she got attracted to Shatta Wale due to his wild and controversial nature. When she met the dancehall artiste, she would even sneak from home to go live with him for weeks.
According to her, her mother was very strict on her while growing up. She even arrested the boy she first dated.
In the meantime, the 'Hustle' singer would want to settle with a man who understands her and is ready to stand by her amidst the uncertainties in life.
