Jim Iyke Clears the Air on His Birthday Tribute to Kate Henshaw
Jim Iyke has finally responded to the buzz surrounding his heartfelt birthday message to Kate Henshaw — and he’s not holding back.
Speaking in a recent radio interview, the Nollywood star explained that the post came from a deeply personal place. According to him, it wasn’t written for the public to dissect, but as a reflection of a bond that’s been built on over twenty years of genuine friendship.
“It wasn’t romantic, and definitely not suggestive,” he said. “It was just raw honesty shared between two people who know each other well — someone I can be vulnerable around without judgment.”
Jim described his words as intentional and deeply meaningful, not thrown around for clout. “I don’t say things I don’t mean. Every word I speak carries weight — there’s energy and intention behind it,” he added.
Reflecting on their relationship, he said it’s the kind of connection where he feels free to speak his mind without filters. “We’ve grown together as friends, like siblings. There are very few people around whom I can be completely myself, and she’s one of them.”
For those reading between the lines or hinting at romance, Jim was clear: “There’s no hidden message. Nothing romantic. Just pure, mutual respect and affection between two old friends.”
His words might have stirred conversation online, but at the core, they tell a simple story — of a friendship that has stood the test of time.
