Here's what Iyanya told Bayo Adetu of PMNews about his affair with Tonto Dikeh and Yvonne Nelson.
- There is a rumour that Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson has accused you of cheating on her. Is that true?
She didn’t mention my name, so I don’t know anything about it. I’ve
never told anyone that I was dating her. Since you didn’t hear from me, I
have nothing to do with anything that is happening.
- Both of you have been spotted together several times and you used her name in one of your songs?
I’m cool with Yvonne. Apart from the fact that I mentioned her name in
my song, she is a wonderful person. She is one of the nicest, coolest
people that I know; the same with Tonto Dikeh. They are two people I
respect a lot. I appreciate their hard work and they are doing very well
in their field.
- What is the relationship between you, Yvonne and Tonto now?
Yvonne is my hommie, we are cool people even till now. Tonto is my padi, we are cool.
- Who is the lady in Iyanya’s life?
Nobody. It’s not like there can’t be anybody but my job would not allow
it. It’s hard to find someone that will be with you and actually take
the pain, stand the rain. I feel like anyone I’ve tried to have a
relationship with always says “no, I can’t”.
- Can you date a celebrity?
I can date anybody but the thing about dating celebs is that it would
most likely not last. The only way it may last is if they are not
successful. But if they are both successful, when people see them
together, they would focus on them. That alone has an effect on the
relationship because they won’t be free.
