Akosua Adjepong, a musician, feels that some secrets should be kept hidden and so joins the chorus of creatives who have condemned actress and filmmaker Yvonne Nelson for disclosing she terminated a pregnancy for rapper Sarkodie.
The revelation was revealed by Yvonne Nelson in her book I Am Not Yvonne Nelson, which was released on Saturday, June 18, at the Peduase Valley Resort.
On Tuesday, June 20, the ‘Frema’ singer told Graphic Showbiz that if she were in Yvonne Nelson’s situation, she would never have revealed such information.
“Some truths are better kept secret because they will harm you at the end of the day. How would your fans see you now? You cannot associate yourself with some reputable brands for any ambassadorial deals.
“Yvonne is big and Sarkodie is also big so what is the point in bringing this issue out in the first place? Is it to tarnish both images or what?
“If she couldn’t bear a child again after the abortion, that could be understandable bringing this issue up but she has a child now so what is her problem?” she queried.
To Akosua Adjepong, “This is so private that no one should hear of it because we all have skeletons in our cupboards.”
“Why should I say anything bad about my past? We all have some history to tell but we need to know what we want to put out there for the sake of our future and our loved ones.
“Whatever it is, I believe Yvonne should have sought advice before spilling all this and if she did seek counsel too then whoever advised her to do that did not help her.
“How can Sarkodie overcome this? What will be his wife, Tracy’s reaction if she is hearing this for the first time? We just have to be careful moving forward,” she told Graphic Showbiz.
Akosua Adjepong also recommended the media not to focus too much on abortion and instead highlight some of the good aspects of I Am Not Yvonne Nelson.
“From the topics in the book I have seen so far, I think it has a lot of positive content that could be discussed too. There is so much in the book to take home but we are focusing on the negatives,” she said.
