Gideon Okeke Blasts Jim Iyke Over Kate Henshaw Birthday Message: "Narcissistic Effrontery"

 

Nollywood actor Gideon Okeke has publicly slammed fellow veteran Jim Iyke over a controversial birthday message he penned to actress Kate Henshaw. Okeke's strong condemnation, encapsulated in the phrase "It's the narcissistic effrontery for me," has ignited a fresh wave of discussion within the Nigerian entertainment industry.

The genesis of the brewing spat appears to be Jim Iyke's recent birthday tribute to Kate Henshaw, the details of which have drawn criticism for their perceived tone and content. While the exact wording of Iyke's message has not been fully disclosed in this context, Okeke's sharp reaction suggests it was far from a conventional well-wish.

Gideon Okeke, known for his outspoken nature, took to social media to express his displeasure, directly calling out Iyke's characterization of Henshaw. His "narcissistic effrontery" comment implies that Iyke's message was not only self-serving but also audacious and disrespectful in its approach to celebrating Henshaw's special day.

This public berating marks a notable moment, as it's not often that actors openly criticize their colleagues with such directness. The incident is likely to spark further reactions from other industry figures and fans alike, prompting a deeper look into the dynamics and relationships within Nollywood.

Efforts to reach Jim Iyke for a comment on Gideon Okeke's allegations have been unsuccessful as of reporting time. Kate Henshaw has also yet to publicly address the controversy surrounding her birthday message.
