Nollywood actor Gideon Okeke criticized his colleague, Jim Iyke, referring to him derisively as a "small boy" with an affected American accent.

The former reality television personality alleged that Iyke attempted to emulate an agreeable persona but lacked substantive character.

He said Iyke was a “small boy” to him. He also alleged that he lacks talent and speaks with a fake American accent.

On his Instastory, Okeke wrote, “I’ve met some really solid individuals. While I’ve also met some phoney-ass peeps like that Jim Iyke guy who wants to be a goldfish, but has no sense of character.

“Small boy to me. Small boy.

“If only Jim Ikye could act! He would have been an actor. But sorry, he’s phoney-ass kneegar.

“Matter of fact? He’s a small boy to me.

“Fake American accent. Fake everything. Small boy.”

The cause of his outburst is yet to be ascertained.
