Nigerian actor Gideon Okeke has ignited a heated online debate after launching a verbal assault on fellow actor Jim Iyke.

In a series of Instagram stories, Okeke criticized Iyke, labeling him a “phoney-ass” individual with no character or sense. He also mocked Iyke’s acting abilities, suggesting that if he had any real talent, he would have established himself more prominently in the industry.

Okeke further ridiculed Iyke’s attempt at an American accent, describing it as fake and accusing him of being inauthentic. In one of his harshest remarks, Okeke referred to Iyke as a “small boy” compared to him, emphasizing their alleged disparity in skill and stature.

The reason behind Okeke’s outburst remains unclear, but his comments have sparked widespread speculation and debate among fans and industry insiders. Many are questioning the motives behind such a pointed attack on his colleague.
