Ghanaian actress.Yvonne Nelson, had a very revealing interview with Bella Naija where she opened up about her relationship with Iyanya and how much he hurt her.

Excerpts:
Bella Naija: How long did the two of you date and how would you describe the relationship?
Yvonne Nelson: We dated for 7 to 8 months. We had something and I thought it was special, like he was a wonderful guy but it was all lies. He had other girls and other things he was doing. Aside the actress that was in the picture, there were a lot more. That is how bad it is. We were in a relationship and he lied throughout and he was able to do all those things because I wasn't living in Nigeria. But aside from the distance, I feel if you're a genuine person and you're loyal, you would still not do that.

Bella Naija: Is this actress you're talking about actually Tonto Dikeh?
Yvonne Nelson: I feel it's disrespectful to start mentioning other people's names. I am talking about Iyanya because we had a thing, I don't want to bring in a third person. There were a lot of names that people know. There was a girl from South Africa, I'm not going to mention names but she was part of Big Brother Africa last year.

Bella Naija: Most people only got to know that you and Iyanya were dating after you broke up. Were you deliberately being secretive about it?
Yvonne Nelson: I also don't believe in putting my relationships in the faces of people. We both had our careers and were trying to protect our fan base and that's cool. But if you go through my Instagram page, you'd see a couple of pictures of us together. I wasn't shy about anything but he could not say he's dating Yvonne Nelson because he had different people he was seeing so it was very hard for him to bring it out.

Bella Naija: What did the experience teach you?
Yvonne Nelson: There are some things that you don't get to learn in school; people can't advice you, you won't even listen. You just have to experience it to learn. I have no regrets that I went through it, it would have happened anyway. We are all human beings. We fall in love once in a while but if it doesn't work out, that's OK.

Bella Naija: Have you moved on since then?
Yvonne Nelson: I have! It happened last year but I've moved on. I've been working hard, been producing movies. I still listen to his music, I love his album. I love the Track 1 with MI and I love, 'I Got It'. He is a very talented guy, I always have goose bumps on my body when he sings.

Bella Naija: Aside from the music, what else was the attraction?
Yvonne Nelson: You can't really explain when you love somebody. It's everything. It was just something that I felt and I can't explain. It was love, I really really loved him and he knows that.

Bella Naija: How do you feel about him now and what message would you like to pass on to him if you had the chance?
Yvonne Naija: Iyanya is such an amazing person but I just feel he needs to be more honest and be a man of his words. It's not good if he takes advantage of women. My Mum always says any man who takes advantage of women won't end up well. It's Karma, it's going to come back to you. He should treat women fairly and he should be an honest person. It's been a while though, I haven't seen him. He is doing amazing things in his career and I wish him luck.

Celebrity couples don't just work out at the end of the day. Their egos is always ruining the relationship. Very sad.
