Nigerian singer, Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, better known as Iyanya, has revealed how Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson, tricked him to endorse her memoir without knowing he was featured in it.

Naija News recalls that the thespian released a memoir titled ‘I Am Not Yvonne Nelson’ on Sunday, June 18, 2023, during the Fathers’ Day celebration.

Aside from the revelation that Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie, compelled her to abort 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 to the request because they were cool adding 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”
