Nigerian singer Iyanya has revealed that he lost almost 10,000 Ghanaian followers over the ‘cheating on Yvonne Nelson’ saga in a new interview on GHOne TV in Accra, Ghana.
In a recent interview with GHOne TV, Iyanya discussed how the revelation affected him and shared that he lost 10,000 Ghanaian followers on Twitter the day the news broke. The Project Fame West Africa winner said he doesn’t like bringing up his ex’s faults, but he just had to discuss the situation from his perspective.
He said; “When Yvonne said I broke her heart, I was in my room and I just saw a post, ‘Iyanya cheated on me.’ I remember that day, I was looking at my Twitter, and I lost almost 10,000 Ghanaian followers. And I was getting threats and all of that.”
Prior to that, the ‘Ur Waist’ singer reacted officially reacted for the first time to the ‘I am not Yvonne Nelson’ autobiography authored by Yvonne Nelson on Accra-based Starr FM on the programme Starr Drive the previous day.
Aside from being called a cheater in Chapter 10 of the ‘I am not Yvonne Nelson’ book, titled “Iyanya and My Love Life,” which delves into the intricate details of Yvonne’s relationship with Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk and the heart-wrenching betrayal she experienced, the singer still described her as sweet and said he won’t sit on radio and speak ill of her.
Iyanya on Starr Drive with Foster Aggor, says he wished he would have focused on her rather than lying to her, “My soul was in Yvonne, I loved her, that’s why I had a tattoo of her name on my wrist. The tattoo was to show I have a piece of her everywhere I go.”
He revealed that he loved the actress and wished he could have focused on her rather than lying to her, “If I was dating her, I will just focus on her. Back then I used to lie to her. Then, it was my career first. Everything came second.”
Iyanya said he wished he could have a sit-down conversation with Yvonne to talk. “I don’t feel good that I have to sit on the radio to talk about this because it is emotional.”
He added, “I also feel like at the end of the day she is healing. Let’s not forget that too whatever it is. But what we all need to understand is that everybody has been through ups and downs and being famous comes with the territory.”
His new statement is in sharp contrast with his position days ago when he swore to share his side of the story with respect to Yvonne Nelson’s “I am not Yvonne Nelson” memoir.
