Real men treat women with kindness, empathy, and respect…Prince David Osei fires Sarkodie
Renowned Ghanaian actor, Prince David Osei has waded into the ongoing rift between actress Yvonne Nelson and rapper Sarkodie.
The actress, in chapter eight of her memoir, I AM NOT YVONNE NELSON revealed an abortion she had in 2010 after being impregnated by Sarkodie.
In the memoir, Yvonne Nelson indicated that she aborted the baby following the instructions of Sarkodie who said he was not ready to father the child at the time.
Against this backdrop, the musician yesterday released a song dubbed “Try Me” aimed at addressing the matter by telling his side of the story.
The song received mixed reactions from music lovers, whereas a section of music lovers praised Sarkodie’s dexterity and going hard at Yvonne Nelson, others have said the lyrics were derogatory to womanhood.
In a tweet to express his displeasure, Prince David Osei stated “Childish Tantrums!! Never let the kid in you destroy the king in you … Whoever sleeps with a woman gets her pregnant and doesn’t own up as a man and goes about labeling her “Whore” is the dumbest asshole ever ..”
He went on to add, “She was a “Whore” yet you shagged her unprotected and got her pregnant!! God have mercy on those supporting tomfoolery!! #respectwome.”
The award-winning actor noted that “It’s about respecting and valuing the women we have been intimate with in the past. It’s never okay to use derogatory terms or make someone feel embarrassed for something as natural as intimacy.”
The actor insisted that, “ Real men treat women with kindness, empathy, and respect, regardless of the circumstances. Let’s all strive to create a world where every person is valued and treated with dignity. Take care! Good Morning.”

Abiana drops heartfelt anthem to celebrate mothers
Sensational female vocalist, Eldah Naa Abiana Dickson, known by her stage name Abiana, has dropped a new banger to celebrate the irreplaceable role of mothers in society.
The powerful new single, which features Souly Bird from Germany, comes as a timely tribute ahead of Mother’s Day observances worldwide.
The song has a francophone flavor, but very soothing as she blends it with her beautiful afro-soul voice.
The song, born from personal reflection, carries profound meaning for the artist. “Since losing my mother, Esther Kofitse Mawusi, I have gained a deeper appreciation for all mothers,” Abiana shares. “We often take their love for granted, saying ‘thank you’ sometimes, but never enough. This song is my eternal gratitude set to melody.”
More than just another Mother’s Day tribute, the single represents Abiana’s conscious decision to add her voice to the global chorus honouring maternal figures.
“There are many songs celebrating mothers, but I realised – where is my voice? This won’t be my last ode to mothers, because praising them is a never-ending privilege,” the vocalist explains.
She further added, “To most of us, Mother’s Day would be the only time we would appreciate them as the years go by. Her departure became a realisation of the lessons each day of her life taught me, and every single moment lived with her was a privilege.”
Abiana continues to establish herself as one of Ghana’s most compelling vocal talents, blending authentic storytelling with rich musicality. Her growing discography reflects both artistic excellence and deep social consciousness.
“I couldn’t say thank you enough, but a thank you sung in melodies and a song will live forever,” she reiterated.
Abiana remains committed to delivering exceptional music that resonates with listeners and showcases the rich cultural heritage of Ghana.
The award-winning female vocalist recently dropped an Extended Play (EP) titled “Taste of Africa,” which is making waves globally and captivating souls.
With unparalleled artistry and a compelling musical vision, she continues to showcase vibrant and ever-evolving music to a global audience through various digital streaming platforms
