Sun, 25 Jun 2023 Source: Island Reporters

Arnold Asamoah Baidoo, an expert in the entertainment industry, has stated that Sarkodie can sue Yvonne Nelson if he feels defamed by her book "I Am Not Yvonne Nelson."

Yvonne makes several allegations about Sarkodie in her book, including that the international rapper urged her to abort a child she was carrying for him.

Arnold stated that if these allegations are false and they harm Sarkodie's reputation, they could be considered defamatory.

Arnold praised Yvonne for her bravery in sharing her personal voyage within the pages of "I am not Yvonne Nelson." Arnold is known for his impartial assessments.

He acknowledged the importance of actors and actresses writing, as it enables them to express themselves beyond the confines of a role. Baidoo lauded Nelson's introspective approach, highlighting her willingness to shed her mask and disclose her true self.

If Sarkodie believes that these allegations have harmed his reputation, he can file a lawsuit against Yvonne Nelson," Baidoo said. "He can sue her for defamation."

A person commits the tort of defamation when they make a false statement about another person that harms their reputation. If Sarkodie were to prosecute Yvonne for defamation, he would need to demonstrate that the allegations made in her book are false and have harmed his reputation.

Yvonne could be ordered to pay Sarkodie damages if he prevails in his defamation case against her. The court would determine the amount of damages, which would hinge on the extent of Sarkodie's reputation damage.

Arnold stated that personalities must be mindful of what they say about one another, as they may be held liable for defamation.

It is unknown whether Sarkodie will file a lawsuit against Nelson. However, Baidoo's remarks imply that he has the option to do so if he believes his reputation has been harmed.

Since its release, Yvonne Nelson's "I am not Yvonne Nelson" has undoubtedly stirred debate and divided opinion. Arnold Asamoah Baidoo's insightful analysis adds another dimension to the discussion surrounding the book, providing readers with valuable insights and encouraging a deeper appreciation of the actress's debut novel.

As the industry continues to develop, it is through such critical discourse that the art form evolves, ultimately to the benefit of both artists and their audiences.
