The actress spoke about her relationship with Iyanya in a chapter titled “Iyanya And My Love Life”.
Yvonne Nelson said she thought the singer’s gesture of tattooing her initials “YN” on his waist and giving her a shout-out on his hit song ‘Your Waist’ was an assurance that their relationship would last.
She stated that she was surprised when she got a phone call from Iyanya’s house after she returned to Ghana and received news of his cheating.

“The caller said anytime I left Iyanya’s place, another actress come over to him and sometimes slept over. The person felt strongly that there was something going on between them and thought I should know. That actress turned out to be Tonto Dikeh of Nigeria and one of the female celebrities Iyanya named in his “Ur Waist” song. When I was convinced about the authenticity of the information I received, I was heartbroken,” the chapter read in part.
She added that she knew she would have left the relationship even if Tonto Dikeh had not entered the picture, and that she saw no reason to continue fighting for a man she had lost.
