Jim Iyke is a small boy to me – Actor Gideon Okeke calls colleague out

On December 23, 2024, 6:13 PM

In an unexpected outburst, Nollywood actor Gideon Okeke has openly criticised his colleague Jim Iyke, referring to him as a “small boy” in a series of social media posts.

On December 23, 2024, the actor took to Instagram to call Iyke out and accuse him of lacking professionalism and character while addressing alleged workplace safety issues within the Nigerian film industry.

His Instagram story read, “I’ve met some SOLID individuals. While 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.”

Okeke’s posts were laced with sharp remarks about Iyke’s acting skills and authenticity

He said, “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 !!!”

The fallout appeared to stem from an incident on the set of a production led by Jim Iyke, where Okeke claims he sustained injuries

Okeke explained, “For the benefit of clarity, for the benefit of My new employers. My supporters, and 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 !!!!!”
