Nollywood actor Gideon Okeke has set tongues wagging with a controversial social media post that takes a sharp dig at fellow actor Jim Iyke.

In the post, Gideon praised some of the people he has encountered in his career but did not hold back on calling out others, including Jim Iyke, whom he described as lacking character.

“I’ve met some really SOLID individuals. While I’ve also met some phoney-ass peeps. Like that Jim Iyke guy who wants to be a goldfish, but has no sense of character. Small boy to me, small boy,” Gideon wrote.
