Sarkodie impregnated me, refused to accept it – Yvonne Nelson throws bombshell

Among the disclosures in her book ‘I Am Not Yvonne Nelson’ is her choice to abort a pregnancy because the man who put her in that predicament refused to accept responsibility, citing another lover.

According to Yvonne Nelson, the individual in question was a rapper from Tema, and the event occurred in 2010. In her story, she named the rapper as Sarkodie, a Ghanaian singer who has become a legend and multiple award winner.

“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. She did and declared the verdict.

“Charlie, it dey there!” she exclaimed.

“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 I 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 toward 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,” parts of the book read.

According to Chapter 8 of her book, which was released on Sunday, June 18, 2023, the actress attempted to abort the baby by taking some concoctions from a coworker, but the medicine did not work since a test proved she was still pregnant.

She chose abortion since she is fatherless and did not want to give birth to a kid whose father refused to accept responsibility.

“When he said no to continuing the pregnancy, the first thing that hit me was my own life.” I had grown up without a father figure. I was frequently reminded of how I had been born by accident.

“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,” Yvonne Nelson said in her book.

She also mentioned ultimately being able to terminate the pregnancy, although she stated it was difficult “one of the most regrettable mistakes in my life. If the clock of life could be rewound to my younger self, I would keep it.”
