I Was Hurt – Iyanya Explains How Yvonne Nelson Duped Him Into Endorsing Her Memoir
Iyanya, a popular Nigerian singer, has revealed how he was duped into promoting Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson’s memoir without realising he was included and accused of being disloyal while they were in a relationship.
Remember that the actress released a memoir titled ‘I Am Not Yvonne Nelson’ on Fathers’ Day, Sunday, June 18, 2023.
Yvonne Nelson came up about her failed romance with Iyanya, in addition to revealing that Ghanaian artist Sarkodie forced her to terminate a pregnancy.
She accused the ‘Kukere’ singer of having an affair with Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh while they were still married.
Iyanya who made fun of his ex-lover in the wake of the accusation has said the revelations about him in the book came as a surprise because he had talked with her not long before the book launch.
Speaking in an interview with Starr FM, Iyanya disclosed that Yvonne asked him for a video to endorse the book but failed to inform him that he had been featured prominently without his knowledge.
According to the singer, he obliged the request because they were cool but he was hurt after realizing he was featured in the book.
He said, “I was hurt. I won’t lie to you. She called that she was launching a book and needed a video to endorse the book but I didn’t know I was in the book.
“I did that because we are cool. So it was when the book came out and I knew I was in the book”
