Iyanya, a well-known Nigerian musician, has responded to Yvonne Nelson's allegations that he cheated on her with Tonto Dikeh while they were together. Nelson is a Ghanaian actress.
The publication of Yvonne's memoir, "I Am Not Yvonne Nelson," on Monday generated a lot of interest online.
The relationship between Yvonne and Nigerian musician Iyanya ended when she discovered he was having an affair with well-known actress Tonto Dikeh, according to the book, which also contained previously unrevealed details about her life.
Chapter 10 of the book, titled “Iyanya and My Love Life,” Yvonne goes into great depth about her relationship with Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk and the heartbreaking betrayal she went through.
Yvonne describes their romance as a fairy-tale affair, filled with romantic gestures like breakfast in bed. She even talks about how Iyanya tattooed her initials, YN, on his wrist as a sign of their commitment, and how she thought their love would last forever.
She said that up until an unidentified individual contacted her from his home and informed her of Tonto's frequent visits, she believed the relationship to be real and had no idea it would end.
Yvonne claims that Tonto responded to her Twitter comments by telling her to end their relationship because feelings change and the singer's affections for her had changed.
Iyanya, however, responded to the accusations on Monday via his Twitter account, expressing disbelief and promising to address them later.
“So Yvonne Nelson said I cheated on her with Tonto Dikeh? Oh wow. I’ll respond to this later. I no go write book, but… for now, make I go watch my new video director just send me now. Love & Trust Ft Joeboy,” he tweeted.
Quoting a snapshot of the chapter about their affair, he questioned, “What’s the name of the person who called her from my house? After that question, we will answer if her accusations are true or false and what really transpired. ‘LOVE & TRUST”
