Jim Iyke tells Kate Henshaw to f*ck off—but not out of hate. In a raw, reflective birthday message, the Nollywood actor took to Instagram to write an open letter to his long-time colleague, Kate Henshaw. The message, both blunt and nostalgic, traced their early days in the film industry and his intense admiration for her.
Speaking as his younger 23-year-old self, Jim admitted that back then, he wasn’t just seeking career success—he had deep, not-so-innocent feelings for Kate. Yet, she treated him like a kid brother, even though she knew he was drawn to her. He recalled how she supported him with transport fare, tips before auditions, and consistent encouragement—kindness he interpreted as mixed signals.
In a dramatic confession, Jim said she eventually gave him a chance at the peak of his wildness, when he was still overwhelmed by fame and struggling to find direction. But soon after, she left him behind and married a white man. Still, he praised the beautiful child that came from that union, saying it all ended well.
He didn’t hold back when talking about Kate’s influence on young women today. According to him, many are doing the most to keep up with her natural beauty and fierce energy—from surgery to skincare to even spiritual rituals—but none can match what makes Kate unique.
Jim wrapped up his message with one final “F*ck you” to Kate—explaining it was said with love, the kind only Nigerians understand. It was his way of saying: no matter the years or distance, their bond remains unshakable.
