Gideon Okeke and Jim Iyke’s Feud: The Actor Shares His Side of the Story

Nollywood actor Gideon Okeke has been making headlines after a heated online feud with his senior colleague, Jim Iyke. What started as a public call-out has now evolved into a deeper confrontation, with Okeke finally sharing the details of what transpired between them. Despite his explanation, fans are still puzzled about the root of the conflict.

In his initial post, Okeke called Jim Iyke a “small boy” and aired grievances that many of his followers were unaware of. In a more recent post, Okeke took to social media to clarify the situation, offering a more detailed explanation of the events leading up to the feud. He revealed that the altercation began on a movie set where he was working under Iyke’s direction. Okeke claimed that he had sustained three injuries during the filming process, which he attributed to safety concerns on set.

According to Okeke, it took him three months to fully heal from the wounds. He expressed frustration over being the one injured during the shoot, and this feeling of injustice led him to confront Jim Iyke. Okeke made it clear that he believed Iyke had a case to answer and showed no intention of backing down. In his post, he went on to challenge Iyke, declaring that he was ready to engage further if necessary.

Okeke also took a shot at Iyke, referencing a time when the latter shared a video of his son months earlier. He mentioned that Jim Iyke was currently in Houston, Texas, boasting about his ability to “run” from the situation. The actor tagged the Actors Guild of Nigeria and fellow Nollywood star Kate Henshaw, signaling that he was prepared to involve the wider industry in the matter.

The drama didn’t stop there. Fans quickly flooded the post with reactions, many expressing confusion over the situation and questioning the motives behind the feud. Some fans were supportive of Okeke, urging him to stay safe, while others were curious about the details that were still unclear. A few users even criticized Okeke, suggesting that the actor’s claim that Jim Iyke couldn’t act was far-fetched.

Despite the growing buzz, the underlying reasons for the feud remain somewhat unclear. While Okeke explained his side, many fans are still left wondering what exactly sparked the initial animosity between the two actors.

As the drama continues to unfold, it seems that this is just the beginning of a more complex situation in Nollywood. With both actors being prominent figures in the industry, their conflict has drawn attention to the sometimes tense dynamics behind the scenes of Nigerian cinema.
