Jim Iyke is back on #WithChude, and this time, he is telling it all, no filters, no holding back. From being banned alongside Genevieve Nnaji and others by Nollywood producers consumed by envy, to walking away from the industry to build businesses in real estate, Jim gives the inside story of the jealousy, the sabotage, and the triumphs that earned him the title of “Nollywood’s Bad Boy.” He shares how he dared his father by escaping home with nothing but determination, how he fought his way into stardom on his own terms, and how, years later, he convinced Amazon Prime Video to back his original film after they had turned their backs on Nigeria.
In this searing interview, Jim opens up about the battles behind the headlines, why fellow male leads tried to destroy him, how he turned the tables in what he calls “sweet revenge,” and why, despite his massive success, no celebrity has ever set foot in his homes in Ghana, Nigeria, or the US. He reveals for the first time the full story of how he was accused of betrayal, what it cost him, and how silence became his most powerful weapon. He also speaks candidly about fame, money, fatherhood, and the price he paid to live life unapologetically.
And then, the exclusives: Jim Iyke finally responds in full to Gideon Okeke’s attacks, including why Gideon was locked up by the police. He also opens up about Kate Henshaw, that viral birthday message, the true nature of their relationship, and why she means so much to him. Two hours later, the entire studio was on fire.
