Ghanian Actress Yvonne Nelson Reveals Shocking Truths About Her Upbringing, Father

You would be hard-pressed to find someone who would tell you that they have never considered writing a book. Writing a book is just one of those things one would want to do.

Some have gone further and started writing but have yet to hit the end.

In this modern age of digital self-publishing, writing a book is easier than ever. There are no gatekeepers. You don’t need permission, an agent, or a book publisher. If you want one, that’s fine, but it’s not necessary, because self-publishing is and can be lucrative.

Yvonne Nelson is a Ghanaian actress, model, film producer and entrepreneur. She has starred in several movies, including House of Gold, Any Other Monday, In April, and Swings.

Nelson has been trending on Twitter for having written a book that reveals a lot about her life and furthermore denouncing her name “Yvonne Nelson.” The book titled “I am not Yvonne Nelson” has caught individuals by surprise with a great revelation about the adored actress.

The book that got launched on Sunday, June 18, 2023, has caused a stir online as people have got a glimpse of its content and more analyses have emerged.

 I Am Not Yvonne Nelson is an explosive and riveting account of a young woman who sets out to discover herself but finds out that she has been living with a false identity.

 The drama and the twists and turns of this moving story have all the markings of a spell-binding movie script, except that the protagonist, who is an actor, is contending with a reality that intermittently soaks her pillow with tears.

Uncharacteristic of an autobiography, the author comes to her audience stark naked.

 The book opens the door widely into the life of the author and exposes the good, the bad, and the ugly sides, not only of her life but also of the make-believe world of celebrities.

Finally confirming the gist that’s been drifting around for over a decade, Yvonne details her relationship with Sarkodie, which ended in 2010 after she had an abortion.

The book goes into graphic details about the process, Sarkodie’s decision to abandon her at her lowest point, and the trauma that followed her choice back then.

The most shocking revelation in Yvonne Nelson's book is not even about Sarkodie. Her ordeal about her supposed father is the craziest revelation. Apparently the man, Mr. Oko Nelson, now late, is not even her real dad.

She says her mother lied to her. So unknown to her, she kept portraying this innocent man in her comments and interviews as an irresponsible father. It was until the man was sick that her mum told her Mr Nelson is not her dad.

Before she could reach the hospital to apologize, he had already died. The man died in 2017 without ever speaking about Yvonne Nelson publicly. He took the humiliation to his grave. However, Yvonne has apologized to his ghost in the new book.

@selthebomb So as it stands now, Yvonne Nelson doesn't know her real father, hence, the Nelson surname is not even supposed to be her name.

This becomes the plot twist of the book "I Am Not Yvonne Nelson".

As of now, she's not on good terms with her mum. The last time they met was like a year ago. Meanwhile, she used to praise her mom as her heroine. Sadly, she's the villain now and still refusing to disclose who her real dad is.
