The jollof rice saga has already pulled in several other artistes since it began.
Patapaa recently teased Sarkodie in a TikTok video, jokingly calling to request jollof rice, specifically the kind Sarkodie reportedly enjoyed at Stonebwoy's home.
Shatta Wale also weighed in with his own playful jab, breaking his months-long silence on the Stonebwoy and Sarkodie feud with a tweet reading "Sark Jollof Lord" accompanied by laughing emojis.
Both moments added fresh fuel to the online mockery that has followed Sarkodie since Stonebwoy's claim about cooking him jollof rice first surfaced.
Fans link Yvonne's old jollof post to Sarkodie
Yvonne Nelson's old post, dated September 26, 2016, shows a pot of freshly made jollof rice with the simple caption "yn* Jollof" accompanied by fire emojis.
Someone recently dug up the old tweet, and it has since started trending again, drawing fresh comments a full decade after it was first shared.
Given the well-documented history between Yvonne Nelson and Sarkodie, many online have speculated that the rapper could have been the one who cooked the jollof rice in the old photo.
The two dated around 2010, a relationship Yvonne Nelson later detailed in her 2023 memoir "I Am Not Yvonne Nelson," which included revelations about a pregnancy she chose not to continue that sparked a public back-and-forth between them, including Sarkodie's response track "Don't Try Me."
The speculation has also been fuelled by a separate 2024 tweet from Yvonne Nelson referencing a mysterious figure many believed to be Sarkodie, in which she mentioned his "fave jollof and fried egg" as part of a cryptic post about a beachside spot in Teshie/Nungua.
That earlier reference has made the newly resurfaced 2016 jollof post feel, to many fans, like more than just a coincidence.
Below is Yvonne Nelson's old tweet.
