Popular Ghanian actress Yvonne Nelson is the cover star of Genevieve
Magazine’s July 2015 issue and in an interview with the magazine, she
spills her gut about her relationship with Iyanya, Ice Prince and a
whole lot more.
Excerpts from the interview:
On the feeling of being in love: I miss the late
night phone calls, and the never-ending text messages. I miss that
strong sense of desire that exists between two people who can’t get
enough of each other. I miss that rush of adrenaline, the weakness at
the knees and that joy that makes you laugh even when there’s nothing
funny. I just miss loving someone and being loved in return.
On her next relationship: I don’t know yet. I can’t
say I want a Nigerian, or a Gambian or a Cameroonian. When it happens,
it happens. But Nigerian men can lie. Nigerian guys can lie for the
whole of Africa. They will come with all the lies because they know that
women respond to the things they hear. The lies are just so crazy. And
I’m not some 19 year-old who just wants to have fun. I’m not in that
place anymore. So I’m taking my time to get it right.
On her relationship with Ice Prince: I wasn’t in a
relationship with Ice Prince; he was just a friend to me. I don’t
understand the kind of attention he was trying to draw to himself by
claiming we had a relationship. If he wanted to say the truth, why
didn’t he just say it from the beginning? All along he’d been saying
that we’re friends and all of a sudden he turns around to claim that it
was more than a friendship. C’mon!
On her relationship with Iyanya: We did have a relationship. I loved him at a point. It just didn’t work out.
On the possibility of dating him again: Never! It’s
like eating your vomit. No way! It’s not happening ever. As a matter of
fact I’m not interested in anybody in the arts, because it is not the
right place to invest time and emotions. A lot of entertainers have so
much on their table, so they would not give the real thing. I know my
values; I am loyal and straightforward, but a lot of entertainers are
not like that. They would just lie to you and waste your time. That is
because, like pilots, entertainers go around a lot. In every country a
pilot goes to, he can decide to have a wife or girlfriend. So they can
actually lead like a hundred different lives and none of these women
will know.
On learning from past relationships: Don’t believe
the hype. Don’t believe all the things men say. A man who is all-sexual
from the very beginning is a no go area; he just wants to jump into bed
into you. If a man truly loves you, and is ready to be with you, he will
be there for you. Relationships are much more beautiful when it starts
as a friendship. So you are able to goof around with the person. I love
goofing around. I love to be myself and do funny videos. That’s why
people think that John Dumelo and I have a thing, because John is such a
perfect friend.
My humble oppinion:
Hello Miss Yvonne, try to be diplomatic when speaking on men generally okay....
As a public figure, you should not be talking from one side of your mouth.
Cheating in men is just their nature.....
Because it did not work out between you and Iyaya does not make all Nigerian men liers.
