Nigerian actor, Jim Iyke has explained his “who is that” response about his relationship with Ghanaian actress, Nadia Buari.
Jim Iyke who has come under social media attacks for denying knowledge of popular Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari in an interview on ‘Tea Talk with Toke’ last month has explained the exact reason for his response.
In a recent conversation on Starr FM, Jim Iyke addressed his statement. According to the Nollywood actor, glorifying the question with an answer would have been to the detriment of Nadia and his family.
“If I were to glorify this conversation, and say glory things about it, it will be at the detriment of the person I am with and also at the detriment of the person she is with, which husband wants to hear about an ex talking about sexual explicitly with the person he is with”?
“People don’t even understand this was an act of respect, I am beginning to think that common sense is an act of anathema in the court of social media and people that use the internet get emotional for no reason, if a ten-second clip, you refuse to see the full stretch of the clip to have an understanding of the whole matter, before you comment, they didn’t show the part where I was saying this was not the agreement, the thing was that I was supposed to have a full-blown conversation about very serious issues but here you are talking about someone with 5 kids and a husband and I am also with someone”, he said.
Jim Iyke further stated that he had an agreement with Toke, the host of the show that he was going to talk about his new project (Rent A Room), but unfortunately, things began to stir up and the ‘Nadia’ conversation popped up.
