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.”

Thousands of music enthusiasts thronged the Adaklu Youth Resource Centre on Thursday night for the Torcher Experience Concert headlined by Ghanaian music icon Stonebwoy, blending entertainment with youth empowerment.
The atmosphere at the concert grounds changed, the moment Stonebwoy began his grand entry onto the stage at the “Torcher Experience” concert.
As the powerful Ewe song “Mele Gbagbe Há Wo le alia” started playing through the speakers, the crowd erupted with loud cheers and excitement waving their hands in unison, sang along, and some held up their phones with flashlights, lighting up the night as they waited to see the Bhim Nation President appear.
Notable of him, Stonebwoy stepped onto the stage with well-rehearsed symbolic choreography and energy, dressed stylishly as he was ushered on the stage by white-clad men wielding long sticks, from where he acknowledged the massive crowd.
The song created an emotional and energetic mood, making the audience feel connected to the performance. As he moved closer to the front of the stage, the cheers grew even louder, setting the tone for an unforgettable night of music and celebration in Ho and beyond as patrons celebrate music, unity and community spirit.
The venue came alive with excitement as fans sang along to popular songs and enjoyed energetic stage performances, creating a vibrant atmosphere that lasted late into the morning.
A delegation led by Mr James Gunu, together with Edem Agbana and Edem Kpotosu, Members of Parliament of Ketu North and Ho Central, respectively attended the event, and presented a citation and helped in cutting a birthday cake to the artiste in recognition of his contribution to music and youth development.
Mr Gunu commended Stonebwoy for projecting the Volta Region and Ghana onto the global stage through music while inspiring young people to pursue their talents and ambitions.
In a notable gesture during the concert, the artiste donated GH¢100,000 as seed funding towards the Volta Youth Development Fund, an initiative aimed at supporting youth entrepreneurship and creating opportunities for young people in the region.
Although the concert recorded massive patronage and lively performances, some patrons raised concerns about intermittent sound challenges; however, many remained at the venue until about 05:30am hours, cheering and calling for more performances as Stonebwoy thrilled the audience with his dynamic stagecraft and popular hits.
