Jim Iyke’s message, shared on social media to celebrate Henshaw’s birthday, drew mixed reactions.

While some fans saw it as a poetic and humorous tribute, others felt it carried sarcastic and disrespectful undertones.

Gideon Okeke, however, didn’t hold back in criticizing Iyke, labeling the message as arrogant and narcissistic.

In a now-viral Instagram post, Okeke called for accountability, especially when it comes to publicly addressing respected figures like Kate Henshaw.

“Somebody take a look at this motherfucka over here. It’s the narcissistic effrontery for me. Such a bone head. I wonder who puts these people in check,” Gideon wrote.

“It’s this kinda rubbish behaviour that people condone, that gives other people the balls to be the actual pr\*cks that they are… in real life. Talk anyhow in public. Tueh.”

Mixed Social Media Reactions:
