Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has revealed how she found
out her Nigerian ex-boyfriend, singer Iyanya, was cheating on her with
Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh.
She made the revelation in her memoir, ‘I Am Not Yvonne
Nelson’ launched on Sunday, June 18, 2023.
In a chapter titled “Iyanya and My Love Life”, the actress
spoke about her escapades with Iyanya and how she later found out he was
cheating on her.
Nelson said she thought the singer’s gesture of tattooing
her initials “YN” on his waist and giving her a shoutout on his hit song ‘Ur
Waist’ was an assurance that they could be together forever.
She said she was shocked when someone called her from
Iyanya’s house after she returned to Ghana and broke the shocking news to her.
“The caller said anytime I left Iyanya’s place, another
actress come over to him and sometimes slept over. The person felt strongly
that there was something going on between them and thought I should know. That
actress turned out to be Tonto Dikeh of Nigeria and 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,” the book partly
reads.
She, however, said she knew she would have eventually left
the relationship even if Tonto Dikeh hadn’t come into the picture, adding that
she didn’t see any reason to keep fighting for a man she had lost.
