In a video shared to her Instagram page on February 2, 2026, the actress was seen dressed casually with a scarf over her head to mask her identity as she went out for a visit to Kantamanto.
The large sprawling market located in the heart of Accra’s Central Business District (CBD) has been described as the largest used-clothing market in West Africa.
According to Yvonne Nelson, she wanted to relive some childhood experiences, which informed her decision to go out to Kantamanto and also to climb a trotro, which is a public transport bus.
"Today, I want to relive a lot of memories, childhood memories, so I have decided to go pick a troski to Kantamanto. I can't wait to feel the trotro," she said.
With the iconic 2000s hiplife track Ayekoo by Okra Tom Dawidi and Tinny playing in the background, the actress climbed into a trotro and stormed the Kantamanto market, where she interacted with market women before eventually meeting a group of young guys selling secondhand clothes.
Yvonne Nelson’s ordinary day at Kantamanto Market stirred heartwarming reactions online, with many social media users praising her for being down-to-earth and relatable.
