Gideon Okeke Calls Out Jim Iyke Over Bold Birthday Message to Kate Henshaw: “It’s the Narcissistic Effrontery for Me”

Actor Gideon Okeke has publicly criticized fellow actor Jim Iyke for the bold and personal birthday tribute he posted for actress Kate Henshaw over the weekend. In his lengthy Instagram message, Jim Iyke shared intimate details about his long-standing relationship with Kate, describing how she supported him during the early days of his acting career—giving him audition tips, slipping him money for food and transport, and generally looking out for him.

However, Jim’s message took a controversial turn when he admitted that he had always wanted to sleep with her, saying, “you knew all that time I wanted to hit that.” He went on to reflect on how his rise to fame affected their relationship, claiming that by the time they finally got involved, he was too “wild and restless” to handle it properly.

Gideon, like many others online, found Jim’s message distasteful and disrespectful, especially in the context of a birthday tribute. Taking to his social media, Gideon condemned the post, calling out what he saw as self-centered and inappropriate behavior.
