American radio personality, Angela Yee has expressed disappointment after listening to Sarkodie's song 'Try Me,' which was a response to Yvonne Nelson's claims that he impregnated her and later drove her to have an abortion.

Angela, who interviewed Sarkodie on Way Up, was taken aback because she believed the rapper preferred to avoid addressing personal issues publicly.

She questioned Sarkodie's decision to make the song, considering his usual stance of separating personal life from music.

Angela referred to the song as a "diss song" and found it harsh, sharing that it saddened her when she heard it.

She conveyed her reluctance to engage in a back-and-forth exchange on such sensitive matters.

“I cannot believe you did that because I felt you tried your hardest to not engage; you’ve even said you want to keep your personal life separate from music,” she said, adding, “But in this particular situation, you’ve had to address things that have been said about you.”

“What’s your decision in making this song? People are calling it a diss song. It is harsh, I’ll say because it hurt my heart when I heard it; I’d not want to go back and forth with Sark on an issue like this.”

Sarkodie acknowledged that some may have mistaken his leniency for weakness. He explained that the issue of the abortion was sensitive, and he refrained from discussing it in the media to maintain control over how he wanted to present his perspective.

Sarkodie admitted that responding with an entire track was not his typical approach to addressing issues, but he felt compelled to do so in this particular situation.

“It is a sensitive conversation,” he said of the abortion episode, adding “The reason why I didn’t do any media or press thing around it is because I might lose how I will like to present what I will like to present, what I feel about it.”

He clarified that he might not be proud of everything in the song, but it was an authentic expression of his emotions at the time.

Sarkodie emphasized that the matter was personal, and he preferred not to discuss it publicly.

However, he believed that some people took advantage of his silence and made unfounded claims, leading him to respond with the song 'Try Me.'

“With this situation, I am not going to sit here and say I am super proud of everything. It is just in the moment how I felt, whether being my truth, there should have been a way you could have said it, that is why I don’t like to speak about it,” he added.

“This is a conversation between two people; we could have a conversation if you want to talk about it because it involves me as well. But because people know that Sark doesn’t speak, people think they can say something and get away with it.”

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 to avoid her child growing up without a father, similar to her own experience.

Sarkodie's subsequent song 'Try Me' was met with mixed reactions, with some criticizing his use of vulgar words and others defending his right to respond to the allegations.
