It’s always something with relationship people, whether they are together or long departed. This time around, the drama is between ex-celebrity lovers, Iyanya and Yvonne Nelson.
They’re both driving our Twitter timelines crazy, with scandal-inclined excerpts from Yvonne’s memoir I’m Not Yvonne Nelson dropping every other minute. We don’t subscribe to the drama, but here’s why we think they might both be in on it.
It’s giving publicity stunt
Both Iyanya and his ex, Yvonne Nelson, have new projects (an EP and a book) out at the moment and don’t African celebrities do anything for clout?
Yes, they once dated
If you didn’t know, Iyanya and Yvonne were a thing. The singer even gave the Ghanaian diva a shout-out in his 2013 hit song, Your Waist, and tattooed her initials on his waist. God, abeg. The union sadly came to an end in 2015, and in her memoir, Nelson claims Iyanya was nothing but a lying cheater.
Iyanya and My Love Life
There’s an entire chapter in Yvonne Nelson’s memoir dedicated to Iyanya, and who is drumming it in our ears?
The drama keeps getting messier because how did Tonto Dikeh come into the picture? Yvonne Nelson claims the Nollywood actress was in fact the one cheating with Iyanya. An excerpt from the memoir reads:
“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 change and so did feelings, so l should move on.”

“There’s no proof sha” — Iyanya
This is the hill Iyanya is willing to die on. The singer asked Yvonne Nelson to name the source in his camp who hinted about his “thing” with Tonto Dikeh.
What’s the name of the person who called her from my house ? After that question we will answer if her accusations are true or false and what really transpired. “LOVE & TRUST” https://t.co/TTFlfBiO9x
She hasn’t said jack. This either means she’s not part of whatever Iyanya and Yvonne have going on, or she doesn’t consider it worth her time right now.
The tracks in Iyanya’s new EP
Apparently, track 1 and 6 from Iyanya’s new EP are titled Love and Trust and Breakfast. If you ask us, too much going on here to be a mere coincidence.
The exes are working twice as hard
If you no wan listen pass go listen to other artiste Abeg. Those who love the project will share and keep streaming. Person wey him family member never plant anything for him life Dey here Dey give advice😂 https://t.co/jxSHMKFzBl
Amid the entire chaos, guess who’s jumping on every sub tweet to reroute the discourse to his new music project? Yvonne, on the hand, seems to have started a book tour.
The internet is on fire, and Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson seems to have lit the flame. The actress and producer famous for her roles in films like House of Gold, IfTomorrow Never Comes, Princess Tyra and Playboy recently released her latest project, the memoir, I Am Not Yvonne Nelson.

The book, which details her professional and personal journey, has become a hot topic online, so we decided to get into some of the most interesting revelations it contains.

Rumours have gone on for years about Yvonne Nelson’s alleged relationship with Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie.

Finally confirming the gist that’s been drifting around for over a decade, Yvonne details her relationship with Sarkodie, which ended in 2010 after she had an abortion. The book goes into graphic details about the process, Sarkodie’s decision to abandon her at her lowest point and the trauma that followed her choice back then.
The story of her break up with Iyanya and Tonto Dikeh’s alleged role in everything

Remember when Iyanya sang “Yvonne Nelson, I have your medicine” in Your Waist in 2012 and ended up dating and tattooing Yvonne Nelson’s name on his body? Good old days.
Almost a decade after their relationship ended in 2013, which Yvonne briefly discussed on The Juice with Toolz, the actress and producer details the events leading up to their break up. She claims that Iyanya not only cheated on her but did it with multiple women, including Tonto Dikeh. While we wait for Tonto to break the internet with a response, Iyanya has taken the book as an opportunity to promote his latest EP, ironically titled Love & Trust, which slaps, by the way.
She accused Nollywood of being an industry of pimps

Pulling her own Caroline from Real Housewives of Lagos card, Yvonne goes into alleged cases of actresses and actors being pimped out to Nigeria’s financial and political elites. While she doesn’t mention names, she goes on about her experience and how she avoided following the same pattern during her time in Nollywood.
If, like me, you were gagging after seeing “Genevieve Nnaji and the Rest” as the title of the book’s 14th chapter, then I’m sorry to disappoint you. It’s not like I was expecting something scandalous about my unproblematic queen, but not everyone in this book has been mentioned for good, so there were some mild heart palpitations.
The 14th chapter of the book talks about her time working with Ms Nnaji on the set of the 2008 Ikechukwu Onyeka-directed film, To Love And To Cherish, which also starred Chidi Mokeme. In the book, Yvonne talks about how great it was to work with Genevieve, and that was it.

Yvonne Nelson would’ve been a politician if not for John Dumelo

Another takeaway from Yvonne’s memoir is her brief stint in politics and how it ended because of her loyalty to John Dumelo.
In the book, Yvonne talks about how she was approached in 2020 by a few politicians to run for a seat in Ghana’s parliament. The actress explains that she turned down the opportunity because her friend and fellow actor, John Dumelo, was contesting in the same elections. John, who lost the election but plans to run again in 2024, confirmed this in a now-deleted tweet.

The identity crisis that followed a shocking discovery about her “dad”
Source: MyJoyOnline
While a lot of the drama trailing Yvonne Nelson’s memoir has focused on her romantic relationships, the book’s main focus and inspiration behind its title comes from her relationship with her parents.
In the book, Yvonne reveals a shocking fact about her family. Her mum had claimed a certain Oko Nelson was Yvonne’s father all her life despite the man’s counterclaim that she wasn’t his daughter. For years, Yvonne and her alleged father were estranged over the belief that he didn’t claim her. It wasn’t until Mr Nelson was fatally ill that her mum finally revealed that he wasn’t her dad.

Yvonne details the regret and pain that followed this revelation and how Mr Nelson’s death further compounded it. This confusion about her paternity informed the book’s title, I Am Not Yvonne Nelson, after finding out that the man whose name she’s carried over the years wasn’t her real dad.
