Nigerian actor James Ikechukwu Esomugha popularly known as Jim Iyke has finally opened up about his fight with Uche Maduagwu.
In a video, the celebrated actor revealed that his misunderstanding with Uche Maduagwu was a publicity stunt to promote his movie.
Jim explained that he paid a huge sum of money to Uche to assault him in the video that went viral last year.
According to Jim Iyke, he invested huge capital to promote his movie but it didn’t get much attention until his scandal with Uche.
“I called the man, we had an understanding, I paid very well for it, rolled out the script, called Moses in, we shot it and we’re about to release the ending of it. I’m not stupid. I will never make that kind of mistake. We buried over N20m in the production of that film and people were still viewing it with a certain degree of cynicism. Immediately there was a scandal, it caught fire”, Jim Iyke disclosed.
