Veteran Nollywood actor Emeka Ike has publicly distanced himself from a viral video involving his son and popular sex therapist, Jaruma, demanding the immediate removal of his name and image from the content.
In a strongly worded post shared on his Instagram page on Friday, the actor expressed outrage over what he described as the use of his identity in “disgusting” and indecent material, stressing that he has no association with Jaruma or her products.
He wrote, “JARUMA! JARUMA!! JARUMA!!! What the hell is this?
What’s my name and picture got to do with these disgusting videos?
Most definitely, you’re looking for my trouble, right? 😳
We fit run am, sha 👍🏾
“If you know what’s good for you, remove my name and picture from all your rubbish contents of indecent posts immediately.
I have nothing to do with your products, and I dissociate myself from your brand.🤢
The actor also addressed his son directly, expressing deep disappointment over what he described as a drastic change in the young man’s life path.
“Michael, I sent you to the university, and your mother pulled you out when you were about to enter year 2, told you school na scam, encouraged you to become an influencer, singer, and actor LIKE ME, and you will BLOW… SO, IS THIS IT? Is this how to go about it?
“As Emeka Ike, I wanted you under my wings, as my first son in pride. I was firm on you finishing school first, like I did before I became an actor! IS THAT MY CRIME? You refused home training, now JARUMA of all brands is training you 😨😨😨
“Hmmm, last time I checked, you told the press that u wanted nothing to do with my name…
Ike revealed that he had once sponsored his son’s education and even planned for him to study and work abroad, but lamented that those plans were abandoned.
“I got you a home abroad, where you can go to school and work, start your life, make money, and become your own man. got lots of plans and big dreams for you and there you lay, like a lame duck, looking lost 😨 on JARUMA’s bed😨 Y’all need REHAB and my legal team is looking at it…
“This was not the same brand of Michael that was taken from my CUSTODY. Whatever they did to mentally numb you this far, GOD will judge …Pls say AMEN !!! 🙏🏾 Not even a classic brand, JARUMA ?😳
He stressed that he is a “decent man” who has worked hard to build his name and would not tolerate any association with indecent content.
“Now get my name and picture off your disgusting business and page.. I AAM A DECENT MAN, and the world knows this.
“I worked hard for that name. Stop messing with the huge E. I brand.
“See what they pulled you out of school for… Ignoring all the plans I have for you, just to fight a supposed battle 😨 See where you found yourself? 😭
“You left schooling and working abroad to play mummy’s boy…
Now see her level of connection, compared to what you own, out here. I pray you come back to your senses soon 😨 I am praying for you 🙏🏾”
