Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has affirmed that he will not compromise his principles, regardless of public perception, Okay.ng reports.
In a recent post shared on his Instagram page, the veteran actor expressed his comfort in being misunderstood, stating that he remains true to his values even when others may view him as the “villain” in their stories.
“I have grown extremely comfortable being the villain in some people’s stories. Many times, the lines between wrong and right blur in these narratives,” Iyke wrote.
“I am happy as always to dispense with my side of it. My recourse is to distance myself from the grandstanding and theatrics.
“Sometimes, I am quick to build a wall before compromising my ideologies and principles. It is what forged who I am. It’s what inspires what I am to become.
“One thing is certain: you must trust people to be who they are. The moon will turn red before I’m who I am not. I am light to many. Others, I am what their insecurities amplify. I’m hated for it. I’m loved for it.”
