Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson, has narrated how she aborted a pregnancy for Michael Owusu Addo, a renowned Ghanaian musician who is better known as Sarkodie
Nelson in a book titled: “I am not Yvonne Nelson” is a new book launched by the Ghanaian actress to share her success story.
The actress has shared her sorrows and joy, failures and wins, mistakes and lessons and everything that she has encountered whilst chasing her dream.
In the book, she revealed that Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie impregnated her in 2010 but she refused to take responsibility of the pregnancy.
According to Nelson, she had to abort the pregnancy because Sarkodie told her he was not in a position to be able to take care of a child; he was an upcoming artist who was struggling.
The actress noted that Sarkodie abandoned her to her fate after the abortion. She went through intense pain and the man who put her in that situation didn’t even bother to call and check on her.
She wrote, “I had gone for a pregnancy test to confirm what becomes the most obvious conclusion for a sexually active young woman who misses her monthly flow. I was in the company of Karen.
“And when the test result was ready, I wasn’t strong enough to open it. She did and declared the verdict. ‘Charlie, it dey there!,” she exclaimed.
“On an ordinary day, I would have laughed out loud and that would trigger a string of jolly conversations and jokes. But this was no laughing matter. It was a grim piece of information that was capable of turning my world upside down.
“I wasn’t the only one responsible for the situation, so I called the man whose potent seed had germinated in me. His name is Michael Owusu Addo, a renowned Ghanaian musician who is better known as Sarkodie”
On her relationship with the rapper, Yvonne added, “I wouldn’t call what had developed between us a serious relationship. I gravitated toward people in the music industry.”
In the book, Yvonne narrated how she had attempted to abort the pregnancy by taking concoctions from a colleague but the substance could not work as a test carried out revealed she was still pregnant.
The actress further recalled finally succeeding in aborting the pregnancy but said it is one of the most regrettable mistakes in her life.
She added that if the clock of life could be rewound to her younger self, she would have kept it.
