Iyanya and Yvonne Nelson
Popular Nigerian singer, Iyanya, has opened up on how he was tricked by Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson, into endorsing her memoir without knowing he was featured and accused of being unfaithful when they were in a relationship.

Aside from the revelation that Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie, compelled her to terminate a pregnancy, Yvonne Nelson opened up on her failed relationship with Iyanya.
She accused the ‘Kukere’ crooner of engaging in a secret affair with Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh while they were still together.
Iyanya who made fun of his ex-lover in the wake of the accusation has said the revelations about him in the book came as a surprise because he had talked with her not long before the book launch.
Speaking in an interview with Starr FM, Iyanya disclosed that Yvonne asked him for a video to endorse the book but failed to inform him that he had been featured prominently without his knowledge.
According to the singer, he obliged the request because they were cool but he was hurt after realizing he was featured in the book.
He said, “I was hurt. I won’t lie to you. She called that she was launching a book and needed a video to endorse the book but I didn’t know I was in the book.
“I did that because we are cool. So it was when the book came out and I knew I was in the book”
