In a series of pointed remarks, Okeke labeled Iyke as a “small boy,” implying that he considers Iyke to be immature and lacking the depth expected of a seasoned actor. He further criticized Iyke’s talent, suggesting that he is devoid of any real ability in acting and mocking his use of a fake American accent.

Small boy.”
Okeke continued, expressing frustration over Iyke’s acting skills: “If only Jim Iyke could act! He would have been an actor. But sorry, he’s just a phony.” His comments reflect a broader critique of authenticity in the industry, with Okeke asserting that Iyke’s persona is not genuine. He concluded with a strong dismissal, stating, “Fake American accent. Fake everything. Small boy.”
As of now, the specific trigger for Okeke’s outburst remains unclear, leaving fans and followers speculating about the underlying issues that may have prompted such a public confrontation.
