Iyanya, the Nigerian singer, recently opened up about the repercussions he faced after his ex-girlfriend, Yvonne Nelson, accused him of cheating on her with popular actress Tonto Dikeh. The shocking revelation by Yvonne Nelson, detailed in her book “I Am Not Yvonne Nelson,” shed light on the circumstances that led to the end of their relationship and the subsequent fallout.
In her book, Yvonne Nelson shared her disbelief and heartbreak upon discovering Iyanya’s alleged infidelity. She had believed their relationship to be genuine until an anonymous caller informed her about Tonto Dikeh’s frequent visits to Iyanya’s residence. This revelation shattered her perception of their bond and led to their eventual breakup.
Following Yvonne Nelson’s accusation, Iyanya experienced significant consequences both in terms of his social media following and personal safety. In a recent interview with GHOne TV, the “Ur Waist” singer revealed that he lost around 1,000 Ghanaian fans as a direct result of Yvonne’s claim. The backlash extended beyond a mere decline in followers, as overzealous trolls began sending him threats.
Recalling the day Yvonne made the accusation, Iyanya described the impact it had on his social media presence. As he observed his Twitter account, he witnessed a substantial drop in his Ghanaian followers, with almost 10,000 individuals choosing to disengage from his platform. Simultaneously, he found himself subjected to a barrage of threats and hostile messages from online detractors.
