Famous Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has opened up about his comfort with public perceptions, declaring that he is unbothered by being misunderstood.
In an Instagram post, the popular actor reflected on how his strong commitment to his values has shaped his career journey.
“I have grown extremely comfortable being the villain in some people’s stories,” Iyke wrote.
“Many times, the lines between wrong and right blur in these narratives. I am happy as always to dispense with my side of it.”
The actor stressed that he has no issue distancing himself from unnecessary drama, choosing instead to maintain his principles.
“Sometimes, I am quick to build a wall before compromising my ideologies and principles. It is what forged who I am. It’s what inspires what I am to become.”
Despite facing both love and criticism, Iyke remains resolute.
“One thing is certain: you must trust people to be who they are. The moon will turn red before I’m who I am not,” he stated. “I am light to many. Others, I am what their insecurities amplify. I’m hated for it. I’m loved for it.”
