Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson, has responded to rapper Sarkodie’s claim that he asked her to keep the pregnancy after impregnating her.
You will recall that in her recently released memoir titled “I Am Not Yvonne Nelson,” the 37-year-old actress stated that Sarkodie made her terminate a pregnancy.
According to her, Sarkodie impregnated her in 2010 but refused to take responsibility for their unborn child, leading her to have an abortion.
An excerpt from the book reads, “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.”
However, in his latest single “Try Me [Raw]” released on Wednesday, Sarkodie countered Yvonne’s claims. He claimed that he asked Yvonne Nelson to keep the pregnancy even though he wasn’t ready to be a father, but she refused.
“I am not going to sit here and lie we had a thing, first I thought we were cool till I had a hint … You told me you were pregnant and I was the one to be blamed … yes I wasn’t ready but I told you to keep it and you explained that you have to complete your school”. he raps in the first verse of the song.
Yvonne has now responded to Sarkodie’s claim through a series of tweets on her official Twitter handle. She accused Sarkodie of using the song to dismiss the pain she went through.
“In my book, I narrated how you got me pregnant, How you couldn’t wait for me to get rid of it. How you DROVE me to have an abortion. As usual, you want to use rap to rubbish a pain a young woman felt. We both have daughters, let’s see what life throws at them. #triedyou.
Michael , you claim I was desperate to abort because I needed to complete school. In 2010 when I became pregnant, I had completed the university. Anybody can verify this. I wasn’t in school and you know it. If you want to lie, find an logical lie. #youspittinglies.
And would you have readily agreed for me to keep a pregnancy when you were in a serious relationship with another lady who would become your wife? Your street line is played out.. #thetruthsetsyoufree #theyouthislearning”. She wrote.
