Yvonne caused a buzz on the internet on Monday following the release of her memoir titled “I Am Not Yvonne Nelson.”
In the book, which included never-before-heard revelations about her life, Yvonne disclosed that her relationship with Nigerian singer Iyanya ended after she found out he was cheating on her with popular actress Tonto Dikeh.
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 shares how she believed their love was forever when Iyanya tattooed her initials, YN, on his wrist as a symbol of their commitment.
She claimed that she never expected the breakup because she thought their relationship was true until an unknown person called her from his residence and informed her of Tonto’s constant visits.
According to Yvonne, she had taken to Twitter to call out Tonto, but the latter had told her to move on from the relationship because feelings change and the singer’s feelings towards her had changed.
However, reacting to the allegations via his Twitter handle on Monday, Iyanya expressed shock and promised to respond to 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”
