Popular Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has finally admitted that his much publicised fight with his colleague Uche Maduagwu was a stunt orchestrated for publicity.
Recall that Naija Blog Gist had earlier reported that the alleged fight between Jim Iyke who attacked his colleague, Uche Maduagwu, for purportedly trolling him on social media, saying Jim Iyke’s source of wealth was suspect, was a stunt to promote his (Jim Iyke’s) new video at the time.
The controversial actor has now confirmed the report after he admitted during an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo that Uche Maduagwu was well paid for the stunt.
Jim Iyke said that he and his team came up with the plan and Uche Maduagwu was contacted to be part of it.
The actor who said that the stunt was hatched to promote his movie about cyberbullying also added that he is too “strategic” to “jeopardize” the success of his film by actually getting into a real fight with Uche Maduagwu.
