Nigerian singer Iyanya, also known as Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, has recently shared his experience of receiving threats after his ex-girlfriend, Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson, accused him of being unfaithful, leading to the end of their relationship.
In Yvonne Nelson’s book titled ‘I Am Not Yvonne Nelson,’ she alleged that Iyanya cheated on her with Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh, which resulted in their breakup.
During an interview with GHOne TV, Iyanya revealed that he faced backlash from the public as a result of Yvonne’s claims. He stated that he lost almost 10,000 Ghanaian followers on Twitter and received threatening messages.
Recalling the incident, Iyanya said, “When Yvonne [Nelson] said I broke her heart, I was in my room and I just saw a post, ‘Iyanya cheated on me.’ I remember that day, I was looking at my Twitter, I lost almost 10,000 Ghanaian followers. And I was getting threats and all of that.”
Regarding his previous statement that he would share his side of the story about their breakup, Iyanya clarified that it was just a momentary outburst and that he prefers not to discuss the flaws of his ex-partner.
