Popular Ghanaian actress turned author, Yvonne Nelson, has revealed that she is not on speaking terms with her biological mother.

The 37-year-old actress made this revelation in her memoir, titled “I Am Not Yvonne Nelson,” which was launched on Sunday, June 18.

Yvonne Nelson explained that she severed ties with her mother because her mother had lied to her about the identity of her father for many years.

According to Yvonne, her alleged father, Mr. Oko Nelson, is not her biological father, and she has been carrying the wrong last name.

An internet user, Sel The Bomb, who read the book and shared the information online, noted that Yvonne Nelson has never met her father and is currently not on speaking terms with her mother due to this issue.

“The most shocking revelation in Yvonne Nelson’s book is not even about Sarkodie. Her ordeal regarding her supposed father is the craziest revelation. Apparently, the man, Mr. Oko Nelson, who is now late, is not her real dad. She says her mother lied to her. So, unbeknownst to her, she kept portraying this innocent man in her comments and interviews as an irresponsible father. It was only when the man was sick that her mother told her Mr. Nelson is not her dad.

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

“So, as it stands now, Yvonne Nelson doesn’t know her real father, which means that the Nelson surname is not even supposed to be her name. This becomes the plot twist of the book ‘I Am Not Yvonne Nelson.’

“Currently, she is not on good terms with her mother. The last time they met was about a year ago. Meanwhile, she used to praise her mom as her heroine. Sadly, her mother has become the villain now and is still refusing to disclose who her real father is.” The netizen wrote.
