Jim Iyke, Kate Henshaw admit sexual affair that never happened

By Tosin Brown –

Nollywood actors Kate Henshaw and Jim Iyke have addressed a long-speculated sexual affair that, according to them, never happened—due mainly to age differences and timing.

Jim Iyke revealed this in a dramatic and emotional birthday message to Henshaw on her 54th birthday.

In a lengthy Instagram post, Iyke recounted how he had once tried everything to initiate a sexual relationship with Henshaw but never succeeded, claiming she “manipulated” him until he lost interest.

In his words, “F**k you, on behalf of my 23-year-old self, for treating me like your baby brother when you knew all that time I wanted to hit that.

“You kept manipulating my Black a*s by always looking out for me, giving me heads-up at auditions, sometimes slipping a couple of bucks in my hands to make sure I got a meal or transport fare back to my cousin’s.”

Continuing, he wrote, “Every time I stared into those dancing, beautiful eyes of yours, you knew I had imaginations that were far from friendly.

“Our love child would have been in his or her mid-twenties now if you had let me experiment with my seed just a couple of times. What a gorgeous human we would have made together!”

“Fk you, Kate. Fk you, ’cause when you finally let me hit it, I was at the apex of my wildness and restlessness. You knew I had a great heart, but I was just crazy and dumb.

“I was overwhelmed with fame and too many voices in my ears, pointing me in the wrong directions. You stopped looking out for me, took everything I did literally, then ran off and married that ‘Oyibo.’”

“I’ll keep it a buck and say I didn’t think much of it. But a gorgeous, lovely baby came from that union. It did end in praise. I was so proud!”

“Fk you, Kate. Fk you on behalf of these young girls killing themselves and doing way too much trying to figure out how to keep up with you. You’ve caused hysteria, depression, anxiety, admiration, love, hate—a spectrum of human sentiments!

“Poor darlings have had to BBL it, snatch it, tuck it, tie it, girdle it, needle it, Botox it, pound it, laser it, sew it, bleach it, even voodoo that s**t to no avail.
Nature, commitment, and sacrifice didn’t create it. It can’t be manufactured. It’s a KATE HENSHAW world.”

“My circle is minuscule. Sometimes, I don’t see or hear from you in years. Yet, it’s sheer joy and unbridled spirit every time I run into you at various corners of the world,” he wrote.

“This ‘f**k you’ is just because we’re Nigerians. We insult those we love! Time, matter, space, and energy got nothing on our journey. Ours is the barometer.

“Happy Birthday, my dearest KO. You’re a phenomenal creature. A force of nature. Your wild boy loves you.”

In her response, Henshaw said, “JIMBO, you already know—the journey to today, decades—we trekked, we hustled, we put in the work and STILL do.

“I got you, whether we see every day or every decade. Thank you for always toning down your ‘madness’ for me (inside joke). I love you, Jimbo.”
