Nollywood actor and media personality Gideon Okeke has explained his beef with Jim Iyke. A few hours ago, Gideon stirred the internet by calling out his senior colleague, claiming he wanted to be a goldfish but had 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, on his Instagram page, Gideon explained the reason for the beef. He claimed that he got two stitches on the set of Jim Iyke’s production and that it took him three months to heal.
Reminiscing about Junior Pope’s death, he stated that he is committed to ensuring safety on the Nollywood set. He noted that 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”.
