Veteran Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has taken to Instagram to celebrate his long-time friend and colleague Kate Henshaw with a mix of bold humour, raw emotion, and deep admiration as she marked her birthday over the weekend.
In a post that quickly grabbed attention, Jim shared a picture of Kate with an unusually candid and expressive caption that combined playful expletives with heartfelt memories and praise. "F*CK YOU KATE," he began - a phrase repeated multiple times throughout the tribute - using the expression to dramatize both his affection and the complicated bond they've shared over the years.
He reminisced about their early days in the industry, revealing how Kate supported him during his struggling years, giving him heads-up on auditions and even slipping him money when he needed it. "You kept manipulating my black ass by always looking out for me," he wrote, acknowledging her nurturing yet boundary-setting nature.Jim didn't shy away from touching on the deeper emotions of unrequited feelings.
He playfully lamented what could have been - even imagining a "love child" that would now be in their mid-twenties if things had gone differently. "You knew I had imaginations that were far from friendly," he admitted.
