Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has revealed how an inappropriate scene led to the removal of his movie, Light in the Dark, from YouTube.
The film, originally uploaded on March 18, had garnered over 600,000 views before it was taken down.
In a recent Instagram post, Iyke explained the reason behind the removal while urging fans to watch the updated version of the film.
“Hey everyone, the original version of our movie Light in the Dark on JIMIYKE TV was taken down. They deemed one of the scenes inappropriate based on feedback received. It has been challenging, to say the least,” he wrote.
“Over 600K views accumulated in a few days. The time, effort, and passion my team put into these projects is inestimable. But I’m not deterred. My energy has always stemmed from positivity and a winner’s mentality.
“A new version is up now, and I need as many people as possible to watch, share, and spread the word. If you supported the first one or missed it—this is your chance to help keep the project alive.
“We’ve been down this road before. Your support and goodwill will win the day eventually. I cannot thank you enough for everything. Every view, every share, and every comment makes a huge difference.”
The updated version, posted on March 31, had racked up less than 50,000 views as of Wednesday evening.
