‘My wife was rather worried about me’ – Sarkodie on Yvonne Nelson’s exposé
Ghanaian rapper, Michael Owusu Addo, popularly known as Sarkodie has opened up on how his wife supported him after discovering his extramarital affairs with actress Yvonne Nelson.
One may recall that sometime in 2023, Yvonne Nelson, in her book ‘I Am Not Yvonne Nelson’, revealed how the rapper mistreated her during their affair, which eventually led to pregnancy.
In the book, Yvonne Nelson made several serious allegations against the rapper, including claims that he abandoned her when she was made to abort the child, among others.
However, in a recent development, Sarkodie, in a discussion on the ‘Way Up’ podcast shared on X on March 9, 2025, disclosed that his wife Tracy Owusu-Addo was more interested in his well-being than the negative narrative across social media.
“To be honest, I don’t want to speak about that, but she handled it the way that I didn’t think she was going to handle it. She was cool and cared more about how I was feeling. She was asking if I was good because I was on tour and that was her worry about how I was feeling,” she said.
Sarkodie clarified his reason for not publicly explaining his side of the issue.
According to him, he only responds to issues that would have a good impact on his career.
“To be honest, the reason why I don’t speak is I think nobody is worth my response, which has always been my stance. If it is something I am going to benefit from and I don’t want to respond, I will speak out because I will benefit from it.
“But most of the time, the people who speak about Sarkodie are not worth my response. If I look at them from top to bottom, I ask myself Is it worth it to go back and forth with these people?” he quizzed.
