Actress Yvonne Nelson has opened up on her past relationship with rapper Sarkodie and how she ended up getting pregnant for him.
The pregnancy had to be aborted, however, because, according to her, the Tema-based rapper said he was not ready to father a child and had another girlfriend.
This was contained in Yvonne Nelson’s newly launched book ‘I AM NOT YVONNE NELSON’.
It was launched on Sunday, June 18 at the Peduase Lodge in the Eastern Region.
There are a lot of revelations in the book, one of which is how she was told later former Speaker Peter Ala Adjetey was her father.
On her relationship with Sarkodie, who was to later become a global figure, Yvonne Nelson said theirs was not a serious relationship but things got “closer”.
“I had gone for a pregnancy test to confirm what becomes the obvious conclusion for a sexually active young woman who missed 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,” she wrote in Chapter 8 titled ‘Abortion’.
“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.”
