Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie, has revealed how he coped with Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson's abortion claims and the passing of his lawyer, Cynthia Quarcoo.

In an interview with American radio personality Angela Yee, he shared that he had to navigate through the actress' allegations while dealing with the unfortunate loss of his lawyer, who typically provided guidance during such challenging times.

“In the heat of the moment the first to hit me up was my lawyer, so early in the morning I was trying to tease her and I sent her Mama Cee don’t you care about what is happening because you would hit me and say what are we doing. The sad news is that she was dead at the same time. I saw two ticks go, because she would have responded within 5 minutes. It took hours and then I heard she is no more. So just within that short period was tough,” he added.

The loss of Madam Cynthia, the visionary behind Africa 1 Media, was a significant blow to the entertainment industry, as she played a vital role in managing Ghanaian musicians.

Touching on the motive behind composing a song in response to Yvonne’s assertions Sarkodie explained that the topic of abortion was sensitive, and he would have preferred not to discuss it in the media under normal circumstances.

However, he felt hurt by the public's response and how his name was dragged through the mud due to Yvonne's claims.

As a way to cope with his emotions, he decided to express himself through a song, initially with no intention of making it public.

The rapper clarified that he wasn't influenced by anyone to compose the song and kept his management unaware of his plans.

He stressed that it was a personal decision to channel his feelings into music and address the situation in his own way.

“I sneaked to the studio to record it. I didn't want to hear any advice, I wasn’t like the whole team sat down and said this is good to go. I did it personally for myself,” he added.

Yvonne Nelson’s memoir, launched on June 18, 2023, brought the issue to light. In her book, she disclosed her past relationship with Sarkodie, stating that she had an abortion because both of them at the time were not ready to be parents.

Sarkodie's song, 'Try Me,' sparked mixed reactions, with some criticizing his use of vulgar words while others defended his right to respond to the allegations.

As Sarkodie shares his journey through challenging times, fans are left in awe of his candidness and resilience in the face of controversy. The interview offers an engaging insight into the emotions and experiences that fuel the artistry of the talented rapper.
