Jim Iyke eventually got a hold of Uche and their meeting was not so much of a nice one as Iyke made sure to give Uche a feel of his combat dexterity — however, in an interview with BBC Igbo on Friday, Jim Iyke is heard saying he has now settled his differences with Uche Maduagwu following buzz of the incident.

During the interview, Iyke shared that he has asked Uche to stop making a mockery of not only him but other celebrities on social media.

He chats with BBC Igbo in the lingua, so a number of people may not understand what’s being said but it summarizes to Iyke saying he’s not happy with how the situation went down but he can’t sit back and allow someone deter his reputation.

“I have always said it from day one that the possibility of this child being mine is very low because when she was pregnant I was not aware. She was pregnant, two or three years later that she came saying she is your child. I was the one who even reach out to her to say I heard you have given birth. She said ”It is your child”. I was like ‘ which dirty child?’. She said a pastor told her that the father would ask of her.

I agree when we were in school we were together for sometime. She was not dating only me. We were many. I was just a side nigga, She had a boyfriend.

When she was pregnant, I was not aware. Two years later she came saying she was my child. She took the baby to my dad, my dad accepted., saying the child resembled me.”
