‘I endorsed Yvonne Nelson’s book without knowing I was in it’, says Iyanya

Nigerian singer Iyanya says he unreluctantly endorsed his estranged Ghanaian girlfriend, actress Yvonne Nelson’s controversial memoir, ‘I Am Not Yvonne Nelson,’ without knowing he was captured in the book.

Yvonne Nelson in her memoir, revealed in one of the chapters titled, “Iyanya And My Love Life”, how her relationship with Iyanya ended because of his affair with Nigerian actress Tonto Dikeh.

Speaking in a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM, Lagos, Iyanya disclosed that he endorsed the book without knowing the content.

It will be recalled that Iyanya promised to address Yvonne Nelson’s allegations last year when the book came out but in the interview, the singer stated that he is still not ready to respond to his ex-girlfriend’s infidelity allegations.

He stressed that the cordial relationship between him and the Ghanaian actress still exists and communicates regularly.

He said, “I endorsed Yvonne Nelson’s book without knowing I was in the book. We were cool, we still talk to this day, so I didn’t know that I was in the book. When the book came out, everywhere was buzzing. People were telling me I was in the book. But I have not read it till now.

“I know I promised to address the allegations she made in her book, but I’m not ready to respond. I’m not going to respond to stuff like that, being me comes with a lot of madness” he added.
