Prince David Osei calls out “hypocrisy” surrounding backlash on Yvonne Nelson for committing an abortion and Sarkodie ‘glorifying’ abortion in a song

Ghanaian actor, Prince David Osei has called out what he refers to as “hypocrisy” in the light of the reactions from Yvonne Nelson’s memoir, “I am not Yvonne Nelson.”

In the explosive book, Yvonne had alleged that she got pregnant for Sarkodie in the year 2010, however, she had to abort the baby because they were both not ready to be parents.

When news of Sarkodie’s affair with Yvonne made it to the headlines, some social media users, in a bid to confirm that the allegations were true, dug through Sarkodie’s music catalogue to find lyrics alluding to the fact.

In Sarkodie’s hit song, “My Baby” from the year 2010, which has now been shared widely on social media, he rapped in “Twi” saying;

“…She even got pregnant for us to abort, I did not have to spend a lot of money.”

While Yvonne has faced a lot of criticism since the release of her book, Sarkodie’s lyrics has been widely celebrated causing Prince David Osei to share his thoughts on the matter.

“Dear Ghana , I wanted to share something that has been weighing on my mind lately. As some of you may know, our country can be a funny place and sometimes it can be hard to understand the rules that govern our society,” he tweeted, Friday, June 23.

According to Prince David Osei, “recently, there has been a lot of attention focused on the issue of “I AM NOT YVONNE NELSON” Book“ABORTION” and it has highlighted some of the hypocrisy that exists in our country. For example, a popular song that glorifies a man getting a woman pregnant and then convincing her to have an abortion has been widely celebrated while a woman sharing her own traumatic experience with abortion has been met with criticism and backlash.

The actor has since referred to the matter as a “double standard” while encouraging Ghanaians to be a little more compassionate.

“This sort of double standard is concerning, and I can’t help but feel a sense of sorrow for our country and the struggles we face. I hope we can work together to create a more compassionate and understanding society,” he concluded.

Dear Ghana 🇬🇭,

I wanted to share something that has been weighing on my mind lately. As some of you may know, our country can be a funny place and sometimes it can be hard to understand the rules that govern our society.
