Seasoned actor, Jim Iyke, has defended his attack on fellow actor, Uche Maduagwu.
He said the attack was real because he was angered by the way the latter allegedly soils people’s images.
Noting that he had done a lot to build himself, he explained that he did not go to Maduagwu to fight with him but to discuss with him to see reason he should stop saying bad things about them.
Stressing that it was not a stunt towards making his new film popular, Jim Iyke told BBC Igbo:
“I have spent almost two decades in this business for somebody to rubbish my efforts. I went there to talk to him more like a brother but unfortunately what happened, happened.
“Though many people blamed him for his actions but I also did not behave well as an older brother and a public figure. We have forgiven ourselves. I told him to use his talents positively. I decided to go on my own to register my displeasure about his actions towards me.
“I am somebody’s father, husband, brother, uncle, and so on. I have so many people who are dependent on me. I have for companies with over 50 people working directly and indirectly it is not nice to bring down people for no reason.”
