Nigerian content creator MC Mbakara has sparked reactions online after publicly expressing disappointment over his recent encounter with Nollywood actor Jim Iyke.
Taking to social media, Mbakara recounted meeting the movie star in an elevator, claiming the interaction fell far below his expectations. According to him, despite being excited to meet the popular actor, he was only greeted with a brief handshake, with no smile or friendly exchange.
“What will it take for him to smile? It’s annoying. Celebrities always act like they’re gods,” Mbakara wrote, clearly frustrated by the experience.
His comment has since triggered mixed reactions online, with some users agreeing that celebrities should be more approachable and appreciative of their fans, while others defended Jim Iyke, arguing that public figures are not obligated to engage beyond basic courtesy.
Jim Iyke, known for his bold personality and commanding screen presence, has yet to respond to the claims.
The incident has once again stirred conversations about celebrity culture, fan expectations, and the boundaries of public interactions, with many questioning how much access fans are entitled to when they encounter their favorite stars in everyday settings.
