Renowned actress Yvonne Nelson has responded to rapper Sarkodie’s recent statement regarding her abortion, as detailed in her newly released memoir.
In her book titled ‘I Am Not Yvonne Nelson,’ the actress revealed that Sarkodie, whose real name is Michael Owusu Addo, abandoned her after impregnating her, leading her to terminate the pregnancy.

Yvonne Nelson expressed her disappointment with Sarkodie’s decision not to take responsibility for their unborn child, which ultimately led her to make the difficult choice of having an abortion.
She recounted the situation in her book, stating, “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.”
However, in his latest single titled ‘Try Me [Raw],’ which was released on Wednesday, Sarkodie claimed that he had asked Yvonne Nelson to keep the pregnancy despite not being ready to be a father.
He raps in the first verse of the song, “Yes, I wasn’t ready but then I told you to keep it. So don’t make it seem like I was pushing you for abortion.”
Yvonne Nelson took to Twitter to express her dissatisfaction with Sarkodie’s response, particularly criticizing him for using rap music to undermine the pain she experienced.
She wrote, “In my book, I narrated how you got me pregnant, how you couldn’t wait for me to get rid of it, how you DROVE me to have an abortion.
-As usual, you want to use rap to rubbish a pain a young woman felt. We both have daughters, let’s see what life throws at them. #triedyou.”
The exchange between Yvonne Nelson and Sarkodie has sparked a conversation about responsibility, communication, and the societal stigma surrounding abortions.
Fans and followers of both individuals have been weighing in on the matter, expressing their opinions on social media and various online platforms.
