The Ghanaian beauty in an
exclusive and revealing interview with Bella Naija, opened up for the first
time about her affair with Iyanya and how much she misses him. Excerpts below:
BN: How long did the two of you date and how
would you describe the relationship?
YN: 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.
BN: Is this actress you’re talking about
actually Tonto Dikeh?
YN: 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.
More after the cut...............
BN: Most people only got to
know that you and Iyanya were dating after you broke up. Were you deliberately
being secretive about it?
YN: 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.
BN: What did the experience
teach you?
YN:
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.
BN: Have you moved on since
then?
YN: 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.
BN: Aside from the music,
what else was the attraction?
YN:
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.
BN: How do you feel about
him now and what message would you like to pass on to him if you had the
chance?
YN:
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.
