“F**k you, Kate… for treating me like your baby brother when you knew all that time I wanted to hit that.”
He spoke about how she:
Helped him during his struggling days as an upcoming actor
Slipped him money for food and transport
Looked out for him like a protective sister
Eventually gave him a shot when he had already become “too wild and restless”
He added that they could have had a child in their twenties by now, claiming their “love child would have been gorgeous.”

Jim Iyke also threw shade at beauty standards in today’s social media culture, hilariously blaming Kate for setting the bar too high:
“You’ve caused hysteria, depression, anxiety… girls are killing themselves trying to keep up with you.”
He also teased her for “marrying that Oyibo” and praised her for raising a beautiful child. Despite their rocky past and long periods without communication, Jim says Kate still brings him joy whenever they reconnect.
