Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has come out to address his regular call-out by his junior colleague Gideon Okeke. He recently set the record straight about his relationship with Gideon, and fans have been reacting.
Speaking during an interview with Punch Saturday Beats, Jim clarified that he does not acknowledge the issue between him and Gideon as a problem.
According to him, if he ever recognizes the fact that he has a problem with anyone, he takes steps to end the beef one-on-one, but what he’ll never do is meet anyone in the court of public opinion.
The movie star stated that social media is mainly for entertainment, so he’ll be a clown to take his personal issues there.
“I don’t acknowledge it as a problem. If I ever recognise it as one, I’ll solve it. I don’t waste energy on things that don’t concern me. If anyone wants resolution in a place of logic and manhood, I’ll be there. I’ll state my grievances; listen, and resolve it. But I will never meet anyone in the court of public opinion. That space is a circus. It’s for entertainment, and I am not wired to be entertainment. I leave that to clowns,” he said.
Asked about how he eases stress and relaxes, Jim Iyke noted that God is his resting place and worship is his sanctuary.
He concluded by saying that thanking God for His blessings and protection is his happy place.
“God. Worship is my sanctuary. While others party on weekends, I play gospel music and roll on the floor asking for mercy. That’s my happy place— giving thanks to the One who brought me out of tunnels and defended me when I couldn’t defend myself,” he added.
