In a media engagement, the Nigerian music star and former boyfriend of Ghanaian actress and author Iyanya, has opened up about their past relationship, expressing fond memories despite its end.
Iyanya shared that his connection with Yvonne was deep, and he cherishes the moments they shared together. He mentioned having a tattoo of her name on his wrist as a symbolic gesture to signify that a part of her is always with him. He made it clear that he doesn’t harbor any hatred towards her.
Reflecting on their relationship, Iyanya admitted that he loved Yvonne and expressed his regrets about not being fully honest with her. He confessed that during that time, his career took precedence, causing him to prioritize his professional life over their relationship. However, he expressed a desire to have focused more on her if given another chance.
“I just shot to fame. Sometimes I had to lie. Yvonne would be in the room and I’ll lie to her that I am going out to get something meanwhile I was travelling to play a gig”
He added that currently, he is at a point where he can control things to a certain level and the fame is not overwhelming now. ”Maybe if I had met her now, things would be different”
Iyanya also cleared that, his popular song, ‘Your waist’ wasn’t influenced by only Yvonne Nelson but was a shoutout for some special hardworking women who he had had in his life.
Speaking about Yvonne’s new book, he said, “When I heard about the book for the first time, I was hurt.”
