Asking for a DNA test should be an offence - 'BBNaija' star Rachel Edwards

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Rachel Edwards has faced backlash from fans and followers after revealing her stance on paternity tests.

On Sunday, March 24, 2024, the actress responded to a tweet which read, "What opinion about DNA TEST will get you in this position?" with the response, "Asking your wife for a DNA Test should be a criminal offence, if you don’t trust her, why marry her in the first place?"

Edwards' response raked in a series of reactions from X users who did not agree with her stance on the subject matter, including the user who asked the question.

Outraged, the user responded, "9 months wey your mama suppose use go do another Bsc or PhD, she use am carry you for belle only to give birth to you wey no get s3nse."
