The allegation about your trip to the States is that you went to do gigolo ‘runs’, what is your take on that?
People don’t really know my story. I have heard different things about me. I have heard that I am a gigolo or gay, that I have foolish attitude or that I am a snub.
Some people don’t know I had a very rough beginning, even though my parents were on the average. I moved to Lagos alone and I had a very rough time. I slept on the street sometimes.
Seven years ago when I moved down to Lagos, for like three years or so, I slept in cars. I had this friend of mine whose car I used to sleep in and burn insecticide at night. I always carry myself well because I know where I am destined to be. I kept on pushing.
Sometimes I slept over at the club when there was no friend’s house to pass the night. I was homeless. I had things very rough at a particular point in time.
It is God’s grace that is working for me. When people say I am a gigolo, I am waiting for the person that will come and tell me I slept with his mother. If one person can just come and tell me, IK see this woman you are sleeping with, she is my mother, I will admit I am a gigolo.
They also alleged you are gay…
Like I told you, I never thought I was going to be an actor. I was more into business. I am involved in a lot of things. Acting is just something that just came and I loved it.
A greater percentage of my money is from business. I am an Igbo man (laughs).
I want to get into Forbes and it is not by acting alone. I have to work very hard and be creative with my ideas. Money I get from movies will go to charity.
For the gay thing, I don’t blame people, but the truth is I love women. I won’t judge those calling me gay or tell them what to do. [Being] Gay is a very deadly thing and I am someone that respects God a lot. I try to keep His commandments. I know I am very adventurous and I have a very high fashion sense – you can see me wearing three-quarter pants, colourful things. And thank God for making me a fine boy.
When people say I am a gigolo or gay it’s their own judgement. There is no man or woman that can ever come out and say IK has slept with me or a mother that is above age that will say I am sleeping with her and she pays me. When you’re successful people will always talk. They should keep talking and promoting my brand.
