Ghanaian media personality, Paul Adom Otchere , has found faults with rapper Sarkodie for the latter’s response to Yvonne Nelson’s accusations, calling for an apology from the rapper.
The outspoken TV personality, during an episode of Good Evening Ghana, stated that he found the rapper’s reaction inappropriate given the circumstances.
Mr. Paul believes Sarkodie owes not only Yvonne Nelson an apology but also the general public for his remarks.

“In my opinion, Sarkodie owes Yvonne and the readers of her book an apology. While it is true that Yvonne may have revealed something she shouldn’t have, she is trying to play the victim and exploit the story.”
“However, the story she shared is true, so Sarkodie should have apologized to the public and said, ‘I’m sorry, I was too young.’ We don’t want young boys to think it is acceptable to engage in unprotected sex, impregnate a woman, and agree to abort,” expressed Paul Adom Otchere.
Additionally, he refuted the claim by many to the effect that Sarkodie had not a personal physician at the time of Yvonne’s abortion, emphasizing that the rapper was doing well as a musician in 2010.
“We cannot label Sarkodie as poor in 2010. He may not have been as successful as he is today, such as reaching the BET level, but he was not struggling either,” Adom-Otchere clarified .
The controversy stems from Yvonne Nelson’s memoir, ‘I am not Yvonne Nelson,’ in which she candidly shares her challenges and experiences while searching for self-identity as a young woman.

In response, Sarkodie released a diss track titled ‘Try Me,’ which contained derogatory and offensive remarks, including slut-shaming directed towards Yvonne Nelson
