Well-known Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie, whose real name is Micheal Owusu Addo, has denied the accusations made by actress Yvonne Nelson that he impregnated her and pressured her to have an abortion.
Yvonne Nelson’s recently published memoir, titled “I am not Yvonne Nelson,” delves into her experiences as an entertainer, including her past relationships with men in the industry.
In pages 88 to 95 of her book, she alleges that Sarkodie impregnated her in 2010 but insisted on terminating the pregnancy.
However, in response to these claims, Sarkodie released a diss track called “Try Me” on Wednesday, in which he contradicts Nelson’s version of events.
Contrary to the allegations mentioned in her book, Sarkodie asserts that he had actually suggested that she keep the baby, despite not being prepared to be a father at that time. He explains that she opted for an abortion because she was focused on her education.
“So don’t you make it seem like I was the one pushing you for abortion cos that be the only part wey make I vex,” he rapped in the first verse.
In addition, Sarkodie also alleged that the actress attempted to set him up a few weeks ago by inviting him to meet privately. However, when he proposed meeting at a public location, she refused, stating that a bar would be too exposed.
According to the rapper, he suspected that the invitation was merely a tactic to lure him back into a romantic encounter with her.
“Nobody is the cause of your bad choices in life, stop the personal attacks,” he sang.
“First few hours your book is doing well. Who is really sure cos nobody can tell? So it’s not because the book is really good but we’re living in a world where negativity sells. I pray you get the healing that you need. Don’t be claiming good girl, you are for the streets.”
