Jim Iyke, a Nigerian actor, has responded to reports that he has converted to Islam.
On Thursday, June 2, 2022, the movie actor addressed the rumors on his Instagram page.
According to the actor, the blogger who peddled the rumours took out his photos from a movie he recently made in Ghana.
"Hello everyone I felt it is just necessary to address a certain rumour that has been making the rounds lately. Usually, I don't pay attention to these rumours but certain lines must not be crossed," he said.
"I made a month ago in Ghana about a religious fanatic. Someone took the pictures from that movie and it ended up in the hands of a rather unscrupulous blogger. While I have no issues with any religion, I have no intention, not now or ever to convert my faith."
"I don't understand why anyone would want to peddle these rumours but they are certain lines you should not cross. So whoever is peddling these rumours should get it together. We are too busy for this BS."
This isn't the first time the actor's film has prompted conflicting reviews ahead of its premiere.
It should be remembered that in 2021, the actor made headlines when he got into an almost all-out brawl with another actor Uche Maduagwe.
This was around the time that his film 'Bad Comments' was due to be released in theaters.
During an interview a few months later, the actor stated that the fight he had with Maduagwu was staged.
"It was orchestrated. I wanted them to paint a picture of what it is like in the social media ecosystem. I can orchestrate anything and you would perceive it. It is about perception,"Â he said.
The movie actor said that everything was meticulously planned, scripted, and executed for the film he was promoting at the time.
