Nigerian artiste Iyanya claim conflicting schedules was the main reason he broke up with Ghanaian movie producer and actress Yvonne Nelson.
He told Nation Newspaper not spending time together led to a crack in their relationship.
“…we broke up because we hardly had time for each other. So it’s like every time she flies from Ghana to Nigeria during that time I dropped ‘Kukere’, I was hustling and I would do four shows in a day and I will make 2million because I was hustling boy and any call at any time I was going for it. So, I won’t say because I was in love with a woman I’m going to see money and I’m going to lay back,” explained Iyanya.

And then you finally found a nice girl that’s ready to cope with all that and her parents are like Musician keh? So I just have to do my music and make money.”
