Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke has revealed why he refrained from talking about Nadia Buari, his former girlfriend, during a recent interview.
Iyke tried to avoid questions regarding Nadia, the Ghanaian actress; replying with ‘Who is that?’.
Iyke, while addressing his response during another interview, said he chose not to answer the question because ” it would be to the detriment of the person I am with and also of the person she is with”.
He added that discussing certain explicit details about past relationships would be disrespectful to their current partners.
“The understanding of that segment is that when asked a difficult question and you refuse to answer, you sip tea. Even if alcohol was there at that point, I would take it. If I answer this question anyway, it will be a lose-lose,” he said.
“If I were to glorify these conversations and say certain things about them, it would be to the detriment of the person I am with and also of the person she is with.
“Which husband wants to hear about an ex talking s*xually explicitly with the person he is with, and people do not understand that this was an act of respect?
“I did not want to offend a married woman with four children, so it was better to leave the past in the past. I must respect both my current partner and Nadia’s husband.”
Iyke recently revealed why his marriage to Dana Kinduryte, a Lithuanian-American lawyer, failed.
