Well, technically, that’s not completely true. He has not dumped Tonto – yet. But it’s definitely coming. By now, I’m sure most of you have heard of Iyanya dumping Yvonne Nelson for Tonto Dikeh. It’s really bad when you are dumped – especially when you did not see it coming – but I think the only thing worse than being dumped [by Iyanya] is being dumped by Iyanya … for Tonto. Like, how the heck does that happen?!?!
When Iyanya’s “Your Waist” song came out, Igwe couldn’t stop laughing. He said that Iyanya was a baaaaad boy for singing with Yvonne Nelson’s name, said that he would end up sleeping with her. To this I objected strongly because artists always sing with people’s names, and that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are sleeping with – or will sleep with – the people whose names they mentioned.
That was pretty much the end of that conversation. And I never followed it up, so I did not even know that they were dating, so imagine my surprise when I read yesterday that Iyanya dumped Yvonne Nelson … for Tonto. What?! Again, I ask, how the hell does that happen?
So where is this my headline coming from? Well, if you listen to the song, he mentioned these names in this order: Tiwa Savage, Tonto Dikeh, Yvonne Nelson. And he told each of them to “Roll am oh …” But for Yvonne Nelson, he took it a step further by adding, “Yvonne Nelson, I have ย your medicine …” Please see Exhibit A for this at 1:24 minutes into the song.
The entire song is pretty much about your waist, and about him wanting it … and of course having medicine for Yvonne Nelson. Now, people have been pissed at him, asking, how could he dump Yvonne for Tonto? But the boy did mention in the song that all he wanted was Yvonne’s waist, and that he also has her medicine. Is it not safe, then, to assume that he has given Yvonne Nelson the medicine … and err, she is now cured? When a doctor prescribes medication for you, do you take it past the dosage? Mba nu!! Taking medication past its dosage can be lethal. So technically, he’s doing Yvonne a favor. And who knows, the medicine might help Tonto actually know how to sing. Who am I kidding? His medicine cannot be that good.
Here’s where Tiwa Savage comes in: in the song, he mentioned the names in this order: Tiwa Savage, Tonto Dikeh, and then, Yvonne Nelson. He has cured Yvonne Nelson and moved on to Tonto Dikeh. Naturally, Tiwa Savage is next. And you cannot blame these ladies really. Have you seen the way Iyanya gyrates his waist? No, really, have you seen it??? The boy is hot, and he knows it, too.
Igwe has a mental “conversation” about how he believes Iyanya’s friends reacted to Iyanya and Yvonne. After Yvonne left Iyanya’s house on one of those good-ol-days, his friends were like, “Oh, boooooy!!!! You don hammer! Correct! How far, how far? You done do am? My friend, no dey catch feelings oh! When you go discharge am? Hurry, hurry, you know say Tonto still dey for line.”
In the event that the relationship with Tonto doesn’t work out – which we know it won’t, but we will pretend like we don’t know – the next on the line is Tiwa. But if Tiwa doesn’t work out, there’s also Genevieve whose name he mentioned, but only briefly. Please see Exhibit B at 1:11 minutes into the song. But if Genevieve doesn’t fall for him – which I assume she won’t – Igwe predicts that another big name will fall for him. He says, Rukky Sanda might fall, unless he says she bleaches too much. Susan Peters – according to Igwe – is too old and “iya-ish” and he compares her to Rachael Oniga. And I said Rachael Oniga ko Patience Ozokwor ni. Eventually, Igwe adds, he might just go back to Ghana for Jackie Appiah and Nadia Buari.
In Iyanya’s defense, he did specifically say in the song that all he wants is the waist. He did not say anything about her heart or her love, or anything. He asked for their waist. And so far, it’s two down, one to go. Or two to go, if you count Genevieve, but I don’t see that happening. Good record, no? And by the way, remember when D’banj sang about liking Nadia Buari because she does not drink garri? And next thing, they were reportedly gbenshing – although they denied it. We believed them, of course ๐
I have attached the song for your listening pleasure. Enjoy. And let’s sit back and watch the drama unfold. This is gonna be good.
Kiky says
i really dont understand why this guy is making waves. The boy is just a one hit wonder cos i really doubt he will come up with another hit as good as kukere and ur waist.
Trikish Tre (TT) says
how can he be a one hit wonder but he has two singles that are reaching the charts?? does that make any sense at all ?? but anyways back to the article it’s a shameful thing and i Guess he is getting back at women for the time that his former girlfriend dumped him and married his best friend what goes around comes around I felt sorry for Yvonne
Vera Ezimora says
Trikish ….. what?!?! His girlfriend left him and married his friend? Uh oh. This is my first time hearing about it. Oh, that sucks. I don’t think he’s a one hit wonder either. I hope he isn’t anyway. He’s obviously very talented. Too bad Yvonne got the short end of the stick, but that’s only for now. I think we all expect that it’ll soon be over with Tonto, too. Maybe I’m wrong anyway.
Vera Ezimora says
You think he’s a one-hit wonder? Hmmm. I think he’s gonna make more hit singles. I heard he’s actually an R & B singer, and that he’s really great at it so … hey, whatever. I wish him the best – musically and sexually. ๐
Funmie says
and you have finally found a way into the ‘bad list’ of Nollywood people….
Vera, the things that happens in ur head!
u have initiated Igwe well…. lol
Vera Ezimora says
Bad list of Nollywood, ko. I’m not saying anything that everyone else isn’t thinking nah. LOL.
Pendo says
I laughed so hard when reading this article! All i hear in that song is “your waist your waist” and Yvonne Nelson i didn’t even know about the medicine part till you mentioned it…I really don’t understand why they are all over him if they were 19 year old girls maybe but these grown women can do so much better well Yvonne at least. Iyanya is still a boy in a man’s body…
Vera Ezimora says
Pendo, they’re all over him because of the way he, too, moves his waist. LOL. Have you seen him move those waists? Imagine what he does with his waist in bed? Imagine how he delivers the medicine? That’s why Yvonne got cured fast, fast! LOL. Per not even knowing all that info about the song, well, I guess I’m glad to have informed you. See, this blog does educate people, damn it! ๐
Nollywood REinvented says
roflmao… I doubt he will ever get tiwa savage in this lifetime (abeg tiwa don’t fall my hand and fall for the waist master lol)… hehe love the song and Iyanya abeg o… I reject it for him, he shan’t be a one(two)-hit wonder
Vera Ezimora says
Hahaha. I like how you’re begging her not to fall your hand. Let’s hope she listens.
9jAmibo says
Follow @9jAmibo for jokes and gists
Vera Ezimora says
Yeah. Okay.
Onakachi says
LOL! Only you, Vera.
Genevieve will not even agree to fart in this boy’s mouth.
Manny says
never say never oh. women have been known to do stranger things in the name of love and sex
Vera Ezimora says
This is true. We, women, can do (and have done) the craziest things. I don’t think that even we can understand why we do the things we do.
Tenny says
Vera Ezimora not dat we women re bad but wen we re angry wit som1, we can do and undo ooo u kno wat am sayin nw
Vera Ezimora says
Tenny, unfortunately, I do in fact know what you mean. Hopefully, Iyanya doesn’t get to find out what a woman scorned can do.
Vera Ezimora says
Loooooooooooooooooooooool. Genevieve won’t fart in his mouth, ke? Hahahaha. That’s too funny! Is he that bad? Kai. You people will not kill me on this blog.
peter says
Lmao!!!
Vera Ezimora says
Yuppppppp.
Tenny says
Leave him, he will soon kno is not all dat gliters re called gold
Vera Ezimora says
Tenny, I guess he’s enjoying what he can while he can.
BiKรฉ says
LOLOLOL, I just love coming here to read from you. Kai Nollywood.
Vera, you have finally initiated Igwe. Badt Badt Gurl.
Vera Ezimora says
Awww. Thanks, BiKe! Glad you enjoy reading. I did not initiate him oh. He’s always been like this; I’ve just been covering his craziness since. LOL.
Timmy Tim says
men! I dont blame Yvonne Nelson, the poor girl was carried away. BUT The song was tight sha!
Vera Ezimora says
Yup. The song was very, very tight. Especially that part where he was like “Yvonne Nelson … I have your medicine …” It’s so flipping sexy. So, yeah, guess I can’t blame her too much.
sheila says
Hehehehehhehehehehehehe d dude z hawt…
Vera Ezimora says
Shiela, you are right about that! ๐
Lara says
Yvonne fell for the song, but really he only asked for the waist and nothing else.
I hope Tiwa will not fall my hand sha, as for Genevieve, madam no go gree fall hand rara.
Iyanya is quite good and madam, see you have infected Igwe oh.
Vera Ezimora says
Lara, I did not infect him oh. He has really always been like this. I’ve just been protecting him since, not wanting to expose him. And yes, indeed, he only asked for her waist. So we cannot blame him abi?
Tenny says
U guys shld talk sense 2 iyanya nw wat,s doin is very bad, he tinks is enjoyin his life hmmm after God fear woman ooo
Vera Ezimora says
Tenny, Hahahaha. So women are that bad, huh? Lool!
iseme says
Hmmmn. Na waa o! I can’t even blv any of those chics will fall for iyanya, except for tonto tho! Lol. Thing is, apart from the fact that iyanya’s music is a one-hit-one-wonder, he’s whole disposition is local! Like he looks, dances and talks local, is nobody else seeing this? Like seriosly? Iyanya? Its not like he’s Tuface o! Kai!
Vera Ezimora says
Iseme,
You have spoken well. I can see why you think that Yvonne Nelson won’t fall for him, but from what I have judged of Yvonne, she ain’t much better either. I don’t know Iyanya that much, and I don’t know his music or history that well either, but I have heard that he is actually a very good vocalist. That said, women are known to fall for the weirdest people.
Speaking of Tonto, I am more shocked that Iyanya is with her than I am shocked about anything else. The girl is err … special. Let’s just leave it at “special,” lol.
xms says
iseme, swear it, that you are not digging that brother.
Vera Ezimora says
xms,
LOL at Iseme swearing it.
Douglas says
Iyanya my guy, keep it up is ur turn. Girls are 2 bad
Vera Ezimora says
Douglas, you’re right: it is indeed his turn. I’m sure he’s not the first or the last to do this. Goodluck to the girls.
Queen Nwokoye says
D Genevive Nnaji I know can never in dis life fall for dis foolish Iyanya, NEVER!!!!! Not even in d next world to come. Tonto Dikeh is a classless babe which everybody in Nigeria knows, I can stand boldly and say “dats his kind of babe” Tonto is still a learner naa for all I care.
Proudly Nollywood superstar.
Vera Ezimora says
