I Revived Jim Iyke’s Career With My Stunt – Uche Maduagwu Boasts

Controversial Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu has said that he revived the acting career of his colleague, Jim Iyke.

Maduagwu made the claim in a recent episode of the Trends and Bants podcast.

Speaking on his 2021 stunt with Jim Iyke,  Maduagwu insisted that before the stunt, his colleague was absent from the movie space.

However, Maduagwu disclosed in 2022 that the video was a stunt to promote Jim Iyke’s comeback movie, and that he received N4.8 million for the stunt.

Addressing the stunt once more, Maduagwu asserted that no one had heard about Jim Iyke before the skit.
