I was pregnant at the time I launched my glaucoma foundation, around October 2010. I graduated from Central University in Oct. 2010. It was my final year, but I’d completed my course work months before the October graduation and my pregnancy. I was only waiting for my certificate pic.twitter.com/5WWgKOGau2

Yvonne Nelson Unveils Her Side: A Personal Account
Yvonne Nelson continued to narrate her version of events to her 1.8 million followers on Twitter, shedding light on how Sarkodie impregnated her but urged her to terminate the pregnancy, citing his young age and unreadiness for fatherhood.
Setting the record straight, she wrote, “Michael, you claim I was desperate to abort because I needed to complete school. In 2010, when I became pregnant, I had completed university. Anybody can verify this. I wasn’t in school, and you know it. If you want to lie, find a logical lie.”
She also questioned Sarkodie’s morality, asking, “And would you have readily agreed for me to keep a pregnancy when you were in a serious relationship with another lady who would become your wife? Your street line is played out.”
Adding: ”I was pregnant at the time I launched my glaucoma foundation, around October 2010. I graduated from Central University in Oct. 2010. It was my final year, but I’d completed my course work months before the October graduation and my pregnancy. I was only waiting for my certificate.”
Furthermore, Yvonne Nelson shared her anguish, revealing how she was left alone to deal with the pain associated with the abortion, as Sarkodie allegedly abandoned her at the clinic.

More than a week after the controversy erupted, Sarkodie released a track titled ‘Try Me’ on his official YouTube page, where he passionately shared his side of the story. The song, infused with both English and Twi lyrics, challenges Yvonne’s narrative about the pregnancy and its aftermath.
The chorus echoes his emotions: “If you don’t love me, leave me. Why are you pestering me? What is meant for me, you have gone to give to Kwame. I have become teary. If you don’t love me, leave me, let me be. Someone else is longing to be with me, when you were leaving me, you failed to notify me. Baby girl, don’t try me.”
As the battle between Sarkodie and Yvonne Nelson rages on, the public eagerly awaits further developments. With both parties vehemently defending their versions of events, the clash continues to captivate audiences, raising questions about accountability, personal choices, and the complex dynamics of relationships in the public eye.
