The 'Your Waist' hitmaker Iyanya, and former lover of Ghanaian actress and producer Yvonne Nelson, has affectionately described her as a sweet girl.

According to him, “Yvonne Nelson is a sweet girl, I can’t go about sharing her problems with people.”

During his appearance on Starr Drive, the Nigerian music star fondly recalled the cherished moments he shared with the movie actress, Yvonne Nelson, to the extent that he decided to get a tattoo of her name on his wrist, symbolizing his desire to keep her close at all times.

Despite being labeled as a cheater in Chapter 10 of the book "I am not Yvonne Nelson," titled "Iyanya and My Love Life," which delves into the intricate details of Yvonne's relationship with Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk and the heart-wrenching betrayal she experienced, the singer still regards her as sweet.

Yvonne reflects on their romance as a dreamy affair, filled with intimate gestures like breakfast in bed, and she even shares her belief that their love was everlasting when Iyanya tattooed her initials, YN, on his wrist as a symbol of their commitment.

Iyanya on Starr Drive with Foster Aggor, says he wished he would have focused on her rather than lying to her, “My soul was in Yvonne, I loved her, that’s why I had a tattoo of her name on my wrist. The tattoo was to show I have a piece of her everywhere I go.”

He revealed that he loved the actress and wished he could have focused on her rather than lying to her, “If I was dating her, I will just focus on her. Back then I used to lie to her. Then, it was my career first. Everything came second.”

Iyanya said he wished he can have a sit-down conversation with Yvonne to talk “I don’t feel good that I have to sit on the radio to talk about this because it is emotional.”
