The Nollywood legend, who is legally known as James Ikechukwu Esomugha, has opened up about his love for the Ghanaian afro-dancehall star, saying he heard him speak and observed that he is full of wisdom.
Jim Iyke, who is directly linked to many Ghanaian stars, made this revelation during an interview on KSM’s “KSM Show.”
According to Jim Iyke, outside of music, Stonebwoy speaks brilliantly and is knowledgeable as well.
The “Bad Boy” actor told KSM: “He is such a brilliant guy.”
Jim Iyke, 44, stated that he likes people who think outside the box.
“Stonebwoy does it for me,” he disclosed, “because I’ve heard Stonebwoy speak and he speaks wisdom. I like a man that outside the box has knowledge as well.”
Jim has always had a tight connection with Ghanaian stars.
