In a series of scathing comments shared via his Instagram story, Okeke criticised Jim Iyke’s authenticity, questioning both his acting skills and personal character.
Gideon Okeke’s remarks were far from subtle.
He labeled Jim Iyke as a “small boy,” accused him of having a “fake accent,” and dismissed his overall persona as inauthentic.
“I’ve met some really solid individuals,” Okeke wrote.
“But I’ve also met some phoney-ass peeps like that Jim Iyke guy who wants to be a goldfish but has no sense of character. Small boy to me, small boy.”
He didn’t stop there. “If only Jim Iyke could act! He would have been an actor. But sorry… he’s a phoney-ass kneegar. Matter of fact? He’s a small boy to me. Fake American accent, fake everything. Small boy.”
Gideon Okeke’s bold comments have sparked a flurry of reactions across social media platforms.
Some fans have come to Jim Iyke’s defense, praising his career achievements and iconic roles in Nollywood.
Also, others have supported Okeke’s unfiltered critique and applauding his candor.
The motivation behind Okeke’s outburst remains unclear, leaving fans speculating about whether a personal feud or professional rivalry might be at play.
As the online chatter intensifies, Jim Iyke has yet to respond to Okeke’s comments.
