Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has replied to fellow actor Jim Iyke after he posted a dramatic birthday message to her on social media.
Jim shared a long post on Instagram filled with sarcasm. He spoke about how, many years ago, when he was 23, Kate treated him like a younger brother—even though he had romantic feelings for her.
He wrote in part,
“FUCK YOU, KATE.
Fuck you, on behalf of my 23-year-old self, for treating me like your baby brother when you knew all that time I wanted to hit that.
You kept manipulating my black ass by always looking out for me. Giving me a heads up at auditions. Sometimes, slipping a couple of bucks into my hands to make sure I got a meal or transport fare back to my cousin’s.
Every time I stared in those dancing, beautiful eyes of yours, you knew I had an imagination that was far from friendly.
Our love child would have been in his/her mid twenties now if you had let me experiment with my seed just a couple of times. What a gorgeous human we would have made together*
FUCK YOU KATE…”
Jim also said he felt sad that Kate no longer looked out for him, misunderstood his actions, and later married someone from another country.
In response, Kate replied in the comment section of a blog post. She spoke warmly about their long journey in Nollywood and how far they had come.
She wrote:
“JIMBO, you already know, the journey to today, decades, we trekked, we hustled, we put in the work and STILL do.
I got you whether we see everyday or every decade, thank you for always toning down your ‘madness’ for me (inside joke). I love you Jimbo.”
Their exchange showed both strong emotions and deep friendship built over many years in the film industry.
