Sarkodie has finally spoken publicly about his leaked song 'Try Me', which was a direct response to actress Yvonne Nelson's revelations in her memoir 'I Am Not Yvonne Nelson' about his role in an abortion she had for him years ago.

Background

Yvonne Nelson claimed in her book that Sarkodie impregnated her and asked her to abort the pregnancy when he was still a budding musician living with his mother.

She also accused him of being irresponsible, unfaithful and disrespectful to her during their relationship.

She said she decided to write the book to expose Sarkodie's true character and to inspire other women who have gone through similar experiences.

Sarkodie's reaction

Sarkodie released 'Try Me' as a counter-attack to Yvonne Nelson's allegations, denying that he forced her to abort the pregnancy and questioning her credibility and motives.

He said he was not proud of the song and that it was leaked without his knowledge or consent by someone who had access to his studio.

He said he did not want to speak about the issue in the media because he might lose his composure and say things he would regret later.

He said he was hurt by Yvonne Nelson's claims and that he felt the need to defend himself and his reputation.

The song

'Try Me' is a hard-hitting rap song that features Sarkodie's signature wordplay, rhymes and flow.

The song tackles various aspects of the controversy, such as Sarkodie's career, Yvonne Nelson's book, their relationship, the pregnancy and the abortion.

The song also contains some personal details and insults aimed at Yvonne Nelson, such as calling her a liar, a hypocrite, a gold-digger and a whore.

The song has generated mixed reactions from fans and critics, some of whom praised Sarkodie for his lyrical skills and courage, while others condemned him for being disrespectful and insensitive.
