Social media investigators have unearthed an old video of popular actress, Tonto Dikeh, in which she denied any romantic involvement with singer Iyanya.
This comes after a serious allegation made by Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson, who claimed that the thespian had an affair with her ex-lover, Iyanya.
Recall that Yvonne caused a huge stir on social media following the release of her memoir titled “I Am Not Yvonne Nelson” where she disclosed that her relationship with the Nigerian singer ended after she found out he was cheating on her with the Tonto Dikeh.
In Chapter 10 of her book, titled “Iyanya and My Love Life,” Yvonne delved into her relationship with Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk and the devastating betrayal she experienced.
“Anytime I left Iyanya’s place, another actress came over to him and sometimes slept over. The person turned out to be Tonto Dikeh of Nigeria. When I was convinced about the authenticity of this information I received, I was heartbroken. I took to Twitter to rant. Tonto Dikeh responded saying people changed and so did feelings so I should move on,” the book reads in part.
As of now, Tonto Dikeh has not yet responded to the accusation, leaving online users eagerly anticipating her reaction.
Meanwhile, online users have dug out an old interview video from 2013, in which Tonto Dikeh denied knowing Iyanya when questioned about their relationship.
Speaking with media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the thespian asserted that she did not know him well and had only encountered him on one or two occasions.
