According to reports, the pair split up because Iyanya did not devote enough attention to her. He later dated Tonto Dikeh, which caused Yvonne Nelson to become very angry.

The two parties parted ways as soon as the relationship hit its lowest point. However, the musician’s dedication to the contentious actress in his song “Omotena” led to rumours that he had always had a soft spot for Tonto Dikeh.
The same was true for Tonto Dikeh, who had declared her wish to wed him before things fell apart.
