”We broke up because we hardly had time for each other” Singer, Iyanya opens up on split with Yvonne Nelson

Nigerian singer, Iyanya, who is currently working on his EP set to drop later this month has revealed the real reasons he broke up with Ghanaian Actress, Yvonne Nelson whom he once dated. The ”Up to something” crooner opened up in a recent interview with The Nation. When asked about his relationship status, he said: “I am not in a relationship and I will tell you why.


It’s not that I don’t want a woman in my life but the thing is that being Iyanya alone is so much work,” “So much pressure and so much sleepless night. Oh yea, let’s chill, oh no I gotta go now, I’m flying over this Friday to spend the weekend with you and I be like okay, come over and when she touched down, I have to go somewhere this night.

So all that stuffs is really making it hard for me to have a relationship because not everybody is able to accept the fact that I’m going to be in love with somebody who is not going to be around always.” When asked if his unavailability was the reason for the split between him and Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson, he said: “That was the main reason actually, although the media will always be the media. But we broke up because we hardly had time for each other.

So, it’s like every time she flies from Ghana to Nigeria during that time I drop Kukere I was hustling and I would do four shows in a day and I will make 2million because I was a hustling boy and any call at any time, I was going for it. So, I won’t say because I was in love with a woman, I’m going to see money and I’m going to lay back.

 “When you have a girlfriend and she’s watching your Snapchat seeing girls back stage hugging you, she will be like “hell no! I can’t do this shit.” And then you finally found a nice girl that’s ready to cope with all that and her parents are like “Musician keh?” So I just have to do my music and make money.”

 Iyanya and Nelson’s relationship ended on a sour note with both of them throwing shades at each other on social media.

Shortly after, Yvonne Nelson opened up on Iyanya’s alleged sexual irresponsibility and infidelity. In reaction to this, Iyanya said: “I don’t want to talk about it please. She can say whatever she wants to say. It’s her business not mine.”
