Iyanya bears it all as he talked about his experiences as an upcoming artist and of course his recent scandal with Yvonne Nelson.
Iyanya, a well-known singer from Nigeria, discusses how his present relationship was almost compromised by Yvonne Nelson, an actress and his ex-girlfriend from Ghana, who made claims about his supposed infidelity with Tonto Dikeh.
On the most recent episode of the “Tea With Tay” podcast, which is hosted by the actor Temisan Emmanuel Ahwieh, also known as Taymesan, Iyanya made this revelation.
On June 18, 2023, Yvonne Nelson published a book titled “I Am Not Yvonne Nelson” in which she detailed how she learned about Iyanya’s supposed liaison with Tonto Dikeh.
Iyanya revealed after the book’s release that a person he was interested in dating started to have second thoughts about dating him.
“That stuff [Yvonne Nelson’s allegations] is crazy, bro. That stuff almost made me lose a relationship. A current relationship.
“Before this book [Yvonne Nelson’s memoir], I was talking to one innocent girl who is not famous but immediately that book came out, everything became shaky. The girl was feeling like, ‘Omo, this guy, have you changed? Are you sure you won’t do me the same?’” He said.
Iyanya also opened up about his struggles during the start of career he talked about his near-suicide experience while dealing with pressure from his job and life in general.
If not for the assistance of his manager, who thought the artist was up to something, the singer claims he would have gotten away with the act.
Iyanya said that before his manager barged in on him, he had already acquired the poisonous liquid he intended to consume in order to kill himself; he wanted to end it all.
“I almost committed suicide, my manager stopped me; all of that stuff; madness. He had the master key, he had been calling me; I was not picking. He used the key to enter the room and the first thing he did was to take the sniper from my side,”
Iyanya has been on the low for a while and his fans and the music industry missed him. He has released a couple songs of late and also featured alongside other artists.
