Jim Iyke: Why I Ditch the ‘Bad Boy’ Persona and Urge Celebs to Evolve

Nollywood veteran Jim Iyke says evolving your public image is vital for longevity in showbiz. He reflected on embracing a ‘bad boy’ persona early in his career and recognising when it no longer served him. He told an interviewer that external forces shape how the industry views you and that many celebrities struggle to let go of past images. Iyke believes knowing when to exit a stage or rebrand keeps you relevant. He urged his colleagues to be ready to shed outdated personas and embrace change to move forward in life.
