    Nigerian singer Iyanya has revealed that he endorsed his estranged Ghanaian girlfriend, actress Yvonne Nelson’s controversial memoir, ‘I Am Not Yvonne Nelson,’ without knowing she wrote negative things about him in the book.

    The singer, who had promised to address Nelson’s allegations last year when the book came out, stated that he is still not ready to respond to his ex-girlfriend’s infidelity allegations.

    He noted that they are still in good terms and communicate regularly.

    He said, “I endorsed Yvonne Nelson’s book without knowing I was in the book. We were cool, we still talk to this day, so I didn’t know that I was in the book. When the book came out, everywhere was buzzing. People were telling me I am in the book. But I have not read it till now.

    “I know I promise to address the allegations she made in her book, but I’m not ready to respond. I’m not going to respond to stuff like that, being me comes with a lot of madness.”

    Taking to his Twitter handle on Wednesday, the singer wrote, “Y’all waiting for my side of the story? If I talk now, I’ll be accused of kissing and telling, sluts shaming, etc.

    But something gat to give, so wait for it.”

    Iyanya’s tweet is coming hours after Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie released a new song titled, ‘Try Me’ to address Yvonne Nelson’s claims that he drove her to the clinic to abort the baby after impregnating her in 2010.

    In the song, the rapper debunked the allegations, insisting that he kicked against Yvonne Nelson’s decision to abort the pregnancy but she said she can’t keep it because she was in school.

    Sarkodie admitted that he wasn’t ready to be a father then, but added that he asked the actress to keep the pregnancy.

    But reacting in his latest single, ‘Try Me [Raw]’ released on Wednesday, Sarkodie claimed he asked Yvonne Nelson to keep the pregnancy even though he wasn’t ready to be the father.

    “Yes, I wasn’t ready but then I told you to keep it. So don’t make it seem like I was pushing you for abortion,” he raps in the first verse of the song.

    He said Yvonne Nelson’s book was not so great but got patronage because of the negative things she wrote.

    However, Yvonne immediately took to his Twitter to react to Sarkodie’s response.

    She wrote on Twitter, “In my book, I narrated how you got me pregnant, How you couldn’t wait for me to get rid of it. How you DROVE me to have an abortion.

    “As usual, you want to use rap to rubbish a pain a young woman felt. We both have daughters, let’s see what life throws at them. #triedyou.”

  • How I terminated my pregnancy for Sarkodie – Yvonne Nelson

    How I terminated my pregnancy for Sarkodie – Yvonne Nelson

    Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson, has narrated how she aborted a pregnancy for Michael Owusu Addo, a renowned Ghanaian musician who is better known as Sarkodie

    Nelson in a book titled: “I am not Yvonne Nelson” is a new book launched by the Ghanaian actress to share her success story.

    The actress has shared her sorrows and joy, failures and wins, mistakes and lessons and everything that she has encountered whilst chasing her dream.

    In the book, she revealed that Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie impregnated her in 2010 but she refused to take responsibility of the pregnancy.

    According to Nelson, she had to abort the pregnancy because Sarkodie told her he was not in a position to be able to take care of a child; he was an upcoming artist who was struggling.

    The actress noted that Sarkodie abandoned her to her fate after the abortion. She went through intense pain and the man who put her in that situation didn’t even bother to call and check on her.

    She wrote, “I had gone for a pregnancy test to confirm what becomes the most obvious conclusion for a sexually active young woman who misses her monthly flow. I was in the company of Karen.

    “And when the test result was ready, I wasn’t strong enough to open it. She did and declared the verdict. ‘Charlie, it dey there!,” she exclaimed.

    “On an ordinary day, I would have laughed out loud and that would trigger a string of jolly conversations and jokes. But this was no laughing matter. It was a grim piece of information that was capable of turning my world upside down.

    “I wasn’t the only one responsible for the situation, so I called the man whose potent seed had germinated in me. His name is Michael Owusu Addo, a renowned Ghanaian musician who is better known as Sarkodie”

    On her relationship with the rapper, Yvonne added, “I wouldn’t call what had developed between us a serious relationship. I gravitated toward people in the music industry.”

    In the book, Yvonne narrated how she had attempted to abort the pregnancy by taking concoctions from a colleague but the substance could not work as a test carried out revealed she was still pregnant.

    The actress further recalled finally succeeding in aborting the pregnancy but said it is one of the most regrettable mistakes in her life.

    She added that if the clock of life could be rewound to her younger self, she would have kept it.

    “We were in a relationship and he lied throughout and he was able to do all those things because I wasn’t living in Nigeria. But aside from the distance, I feel if you are a genuine person and you are loyal, you would still not do that.

    .

    ”But if you go through my Instagram page, you would see a couple of pictures of us together. I wasn’t shy about anything but he could not say he’s dating Yvonne Nelson because he had different people he was seeing. So, it was very hard for him to bring it out.”

    The Ghanaian actress pointed out that she has learned a big lesson from her short-lived romance with Iyanya.

     

    “There are some things that you don’t get to learn in school; people can advise you, but you won’t even listen. You just have to experience it to learn. I have no regrets that I went through it. It would have happened anyway. We are all human beings. We fall in love once in a while but if it doesn’t work out, that’s ok,” she said.

     

    Describing Iyanya, she said the Mavins Record star singer is a ‘total package’.

     

    Adding: “You can’t really explain when you love somebody. It’s everything. It was just something that I felt and I can’t explain. It was love. I really loved him and he knows that.”
