Sarkodie, a Grammy-winning artist, has refuted allegations that he coerced actress Yvonne Nelson into getting an abortion in 2010.
The Country Side hitmaker revealed that even though he wasn’t ready at the time, he wanted her to retain the baby but Yvonne declined on the grounds that she was in school. The Country Side hitmaker explained his side of the tale in a new song, Try Me, which has already gone viral since it was published Tuesday, June 27, 2023.
Sarkodie explained how he was truly in love with Yvonne Nelson but that it turns out he was probably only one of the many males in her life at the time in the 3:16-minute song, showing his intense emotions throughout.
He said he didn’t want to reveal that aspect of his life till he passed away but that he has been obliged to do so since Yvonne Nelson spread a falsehood that benefits her.
“I won’t deny that we had a thing. Before I got the signal that there were numerous guys, I initially believed we had a think. I made an effort to avoid you, but you arrived and announced your pregnancy. I told you to keep it even though I wasn’t ready at the time.
“You told be you were schooling so you needed to complete it but till today, I don’t believe it. I told you to let my doctor take care of you and you sent a text later that your friend has recommended a one of the best doctors…
“So don’t you make it seem like I was the one pushing you for abortion. Baby girl make you no try me”, he raps on Ty Me.
But it seems the Princess Tyra actress is not having any of this as she tweeted this morning, June 28.
“Insults won’t work Michael, Respect womanhood. I’m happy the world gets to see how you are playing this and the real you. Young women get to learn from this. You would get the applause for a rap. still doesn’t change the truth,” she posted.
Award winning actress, Yvonne Nelson revealed in a book that she aborted a pregnancy for Sarkodie in 2010 after a short relationship.
According to her, she took the decision following Sarkodie’s decision not to take responsibility of the child since he was young and not financially sound at the time.
On pages 88–95 of Chapter 8 of her memoir, Yvonne describes the occurrence. She claims that Sarkodie and his manager at the time escorted her to a clinic in Mamprobi to have the foetus removed. That came after an unsuccessful effort involving medicines that a friend had suggested.
