About this deal

Above all, the main reason I decided to write this book precedes my birth. I have searched in all the possible places for answers but failed. So, I am telling this story with the hope that I will find answers that will stop the tears that only my pillow can adequately bear witness to.

Rumours have gone on for years about Yvonne Nelson’s alleged relationship with Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie. Source: I Am Not Yvonne NelsonThe rapper married his longtime girlfriend, Tracey Owusu Addo, in 2018. Tracey had lived most of her life and studied outside Ghana. When a mother doesn’t want to indulge the paternity of her child, it might mean a lot. I think she might not know who the father reasons being - was experiencing her own body. Could also be rape or could be sexual favors gone wrong. This is Ghana we are talking about and misogyny is a 3 course meal.

Speaking at the launch of the book at the Peduase Valley Resort, Yvonne Nelson revealed that her personal experiences birthed the idea to write the memoir, entreating Ghanaians to get a copy. My life inspired the book. I want people to get a copy of the book, and they would understand why this book is important to me and why I had to write it,” she said. Assignments from teachers, or what we often called homework, were supposed to be done at home. If we had a favourite programme on television or an important outing and didn’t want the assignment to interfere with our programme, we squeezed some time and did it in school so our day and night would be cleared for our personal stuff. The teacher’s assignment on whether Eugene and I were related was not a conventional assignment, and I did not have anything special to attend to at home, but I could not resist the urge to start it right from school. But there comes a time one finds truer meaning to life, a calling and a cause more fulfilling than the real and imaginary applauses in the market square of stardom. There comes a time one has to be real with oneself. There comes a time when one feels compelled to let the world into one’s life and show them the other side, the real side. This, I feel, is my time. According to Yvonne Nelson, she had a lesson of her life and if time could be rewound, she won’t abort that pregnancy.In the book, Yvonne Nelson revealed that Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie impregnated her in 2010 but she refused to take responsibility of the pregnancy. I could never talk openly about until I decided to write this book. I have run and completed some races. In others, I have faltered and crashed. All of that has shaped me and made me the woman I am. I intend to show those who look up to me the scars of my falls, with the hope that they may avoid the landmines that nearly ended my life. Her words resonate powerfully: “How was I going to bring another human being into this world to live like me, someone whose father would reject him or her as Mr. Nelson had rejected me? If there was a way to spare someone else the trauma I was contending with, why would I reject that option, especially when I was not.” And as we continue to appreciate the artistry and talent displayed by Yvonne Nelson and Sarkodie, let us remember that behind the glitz and glamour, there are human stories that shape their lives and the music they create. The author, "Not Yvonne Nelson" detailed her short life from her time from basic school through to her rise and fame, then to her quest to find the 'real' Mr 'Nelson'.
