In response to Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson’s intriguing revelations about their past relationship in her new book, popular Nigerian singer Iyanya has addressed the matter.
Yvonne candidly delved into her romantic involvement with the ‘Kukere’ crooner in chapter 10, aptly titled ‘Iyanya and My Love Life,’ in her recently released book, titled ‘I am not Yvonne Nelson.’
“We had a decent relationship,” she writes, before talking about how she discovered that he was cheating on her with Tonto Dikeh in an excerpt circulating online.
In her words, “The caller said anytime I left Iyanya’s place, another actress came over to him and sometimes slept over. The person felt strongly that there was something going on between them and thought I should know. The actress turned out to be Tonto Dikeh of Nigeria, one of the female celebrities Iyanya named in his ‘Ur Waist’ song. When I was convinced about the authenticity of the information I received, I was heartbroken”.
“I took to Twitter to rant and vent. Tonto Dikeh responded on Twitter, saying people changed and so did feelings, so I should move on… I knew I eventually would have left even if Tonto Dikeh didn’t come into the picture”.
In response to the allegations, Iyanya took to Twitter and shared a series of playful tweets, cleverly sidestepping the task of accepting or denying the claims directly.
“So Yvonne Nelson said I cheated on her with Tonto Dike? Oh wow. I’ll respond to this later. I no go write book, but…. For now make I go watch my new video Director just send me now. Love & Trust Ft Joeboy,” he tweeted.
As of the time of this report, there has been no response from Dikeh.
Nelson is presently engaged in the promotion of her recently launched book, which took place on Sunday, June 18, 2023, in Ghana.
The highly-discussed romantic relationship between Iyanya and Yvonne Nelson came to an end in 2015. The couple, who had started dating in July 2012 and were seen together at various events, eventually parted ways.
