Nollywood actor and media personality Gideon Okeke has explained his beef with Jim Iyke.
Kemi Filani reported hours ago that Gideon had stirred the internet as he called out his senior colleague, claiming he wants to be a goldfish but has no sense of character.
Gideon stated that if only Jim Iyke could act, he would have been an actor but he is a phoney-ass kneegar. Calling Jim a small boy, he called him out for his fake American accent and fake everything.
Now taking to his Instagram page, Gideon explained the reason for the beef as he claimed that he got 2 stitches on the set of Jim Iyke’s production. He stated that it took 3 months for him to heal.
Reminiscing on the death of Junior Pope, he stated that he is committed to ensuring safety on the Nollywood set as he noted how Jim is unbothered and away in Texas.
“For the benefit of clarity, for the benefit of my new employers and supporters, and for the new year coming.
Jnr Pope, is one death, too many in this business. And that only happened this year, 2024.
Had I gotten anything more than these 2 stitches on the set of Jim Iyke’s production, y’all would still call me a fool I guess.
It’s taken 3 whole months to heal from that and still.
I am committed to ensuring safety at the Nollywood workplace.
Sometimes I’ve asked myself, why was it me who got hurt?
I guess it’s so that nobody else gets to take one for the team.
But Jim Iyke is running Small Boy!!
This is for the benefit of CLARITY.
This is for the benefit of My PERSONA.
James Ikechukwu Esomugha has a case to answer.
TO ALL OF US. @actorsguildofnigeria @k8henshaw
I’ve played BIG for 3 months that YOU didn’t know anything about. It’s time to roll in the mud with pigs.
Are You Ready?
I hear he’s in the Houston, Texas, Area. Touché
But can he run forever?
Someone who wants to be a goldfish?
SMALL BOY!
I AM THE POSTER BOY OF SAFETY AT THE NOLLYWOOD WORKPLACE.
SAFETY FIRST, THEN NEXT COMES EMPATHY”.
Just a few days back, Gideon had crowned Zubby Michael the biggest Nollywood star, as he compared himself to Elizabeth who knew what Mary was carrying. Hailing Zubby, Gideon said he saw him and told him to keep riding.
