An Explosive Revelation

In her book, Yvonne reveals an astonishing and shocking story. She discloses that rapper Sarkodie impregnated her, and she had to abort the baby. This incident occurred when Sarkodie was still struggling to establish himself in the music industry.

The Potent Seed

Yvonne reveals the events that led to the pregnancy. She had gone for a pregnancy test with her friend Karen. When the results were ready, she was too frightened to open the envelope. Karen opened it and declared, “Charlie, it dey there!” (meaning, “it’s there!”). Yvonne was devastated and called the man responsible for the situation, Sarkodie.

At the time of the pregnancy, Sarkodie was living with his mother and trying to establish himself in the music industry. Yvonne narrates that Sarkodie was not ready to carry any burden when he was still being carried by his mother. While Yvonne and Sarkodie had developed a close relationship, it wasn’t serious. Yvonne was drawn to people in the music industry, and music was her escape from unpleasant life circumstances.

Painful Decision

Yvonne had to make the difficult decision to abort the child since Sarkodie was not ready to be a father. Yvonne writes, “It was a grim piece of information that was capable of turning my world upside down.” Yvonne’s story is a revelation of the struggles young women face and the difficult choices they have to make.

Her book tells a story of a young woman who sets out to discover herself, but discovers that she has been living with a false identity.
