One of the things she reveals in her book “I Am Not Yvonne Nelson” is that she had an abortion since the man who got her pregnant wouldn’t take responsibility for it because he was seeing someone else.

Yvonne Nelson claims that the man in question is a rapper from Tema, and that the incident in question occurred in 2010. She said that the rapper in question was none other than Sarkodie, the legendary Ghanaian rapper and recipient of multiple awards.

The actress tried to terminate the pregnancy using some concoctions from a friend, as detailed in Chapter 8 of her memoir, released on Sunday, June 18, 2023; however, to her disbelief, the drugs could not work because a test indicated she was still pregnant.

Parts of the book reads, “I had gone for a pregnancy test to confirm what becomes the most obvious conclusion for a sexually active young woman who misses her monthly flow. I was in the company of Karen. And when the test result was ready. I wasn’t strong enough to open it.”

“Charlie. it dey there! On an ordinary day. I would have laughed out loud, and that would trigger a string of jolly conversations and jokes. But this was no laughing matter. It was a grim piece of information that was capable of turning my world upside down. I wasn’t the only one responsible for the situation. so called the man whose potent seed had germinated in me. His name is Michael Owusu Addo, a renowned Ghanaian musician who is better known as Sarkodie.

“Sarkodie was a budding musician with the potential to become one of the biggest artists in Ghana and beyond. At the time, however, the future looked uncertain, and his way through the maze of life still appeared too foggy to predict. Success was not guaranteed. He was still living with his mother and was not ready to carry a burden while he was being carried by his mother.

“I wouldn’t call what had developed between us a serious relationship. I gravitated towards people in the music industry. For the longest time in my life, music was my getaway from all the unpleasant things life threw at me. So, I liked his talent. We started talking and got close. Closer.”

“The first thing that hit me when he said no to keeping the pregnancy was my own life. I had grown up without a father in my life. I had often been reminded of how I had been borne by mistake. I was still wondering if the man whose name I bore was my father. How was I going to bring another human being into this world to live like me, someone whose father would reject him or her as Mr. Nelson had rejected me? If there was a way to spare someone else the trauma I was contending with, why would I reject that option, especially when I was not?” she said.

She now considers her decision then as “one of the most regrettable mistakes of my life,” she reflected. If the clock of life could be rewound to my younger self, I would keep it.”
