Jim Iyke, a Nollywood actor, has spoken out about his apparent conversion to Islam.
When it was claimed that the actor had abandoned his faith in favor of Islam, he made headlines.
According to a tweet from a Twitter user, the veteran has converted to Islam.
While congratulating him, he said, “”I heard that the popular Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has revert to Islam. Alhamdulillah! Welcome to Islam, religion of peace. We welcome you wholeheartedly”.
Jim Iyke took to Instagram just hours after the rumor went viral to disprove it.
Jim Iyke dismissed the accusations as “aimless rumors,” revealing that the photos of him dressed in Muslim garb that have been circulating are from a film he produced in Ghana.
Despite his love for all religions, he declared that he will always be a Christian.
“I felt it is necessary to address the elephant in the room that has been making the rounds lately. Usually, I don’t pay attention to this aimless rumours because they aren’t my cup of tea but certain lines shouldn’t be crossed. I made a movie in Ghana called ” Zanku boys” which would be out in July. The movie is about religious fanatics, someone took the pictures and it ended up with random bloggers who said I have converted. I respect all religion but I have no intention to convert my faith”.
