Speaking to Pulse.com.gh's Albert Buabeng, Yvonne said," Sarkodie has being part of this right from the beginning but he told us he had plans of travelling and he can't change his plans because he has planned it a long time ago. He had his tickets and everything. He actually did a good job; he recorded a song "Dumsor" to support the campaign. Shoutouts to Sarkodie, good job"
Many have critise the Ghanaian musician and currently BET International Act - Africa nominee for abandoning his friends on the campaign when it mattered most after he was not present during the vigil held over the week as planned by organisers.
Yvonne Nelson in the same interview revealled that, the #DumsorMustStop all started with just a single tweet.
"I remember it was 12 mid-night, l was sweating in my bed. I could not sleep. I went to my kitchen to get a mango and l sat on my bed. I couldn't sleep so was forcing myself to sleep but it wasn't happening. I went for my phone and went to twitter. The tweeted #DumsorMustStop. I manage to sleep off and l woke up the next morning and l realize, it was trending".
Today, when history is written, Yvonne Nelson would be remember for the impact she has created with her celebrity status. Many participants of the vigil, referred to her as the Yaa Asantewaa of today.

name. And it’s really humbling that anyone would call me Yaa Asantewaa.
As a matter of fact, I love it. I’m gonna put it in there. Yvonne Yaa
Asantewaa Nelson.”
