In the middle of controversy, Shatta Wale sings for Yvonne Nelson in his new song "Yvonne" [Listen].
The dispute surrounding Yvonne Nelson and Sarkodie's continuing beef has taken a horrifying turn.
Following the uproar, multi-award-winning dancehall artist Shatta Wale took to social media to give fans a sneak preview of his eagerly awaited new song, "Yvonne."
Shatta Wale criticizes Sarkodie in the song after the latter recently dropped the diss track "Try Me" in which he claimed Nelson had an abortion.
In the song, Shatta Wale stands up for the 'I Am Not Yvonne Nelson' author, calling her a strong, independent woman who does not deserve to be treated unfairly.
The song also conveys a message of empowerment to women, who are frequently left out of society's mainstream.
The "Ayoo" hitmaker raps about how women are frequently scrutinized and attacked for their choices, but he encourages them to stand up for themselves and not allow others to define them.
The song will be released in the coming days.
