Michael, son of Emeka Ike, the Nigerian actor, says he is
scared he will end up becoming like his father.
Last week, an audio surfaced on social media platforms
wherein the film star appeared to have asked Michael to commit suicide.
“Michael go and jump in front of a truck right now. Jump
from where you are and break your head and smash it,” he was heard saying in
the voice note.
In a recent episode of the #WithChude podcast, Michael said
he is not proud to call Ike “my father”.
He also expressed concerns about having “similar issues like
Ike” when he becomes a husband and father.
“This cannot be someone I should be proud of. I started
thinking: ‘what do I do when I bring a woman home? Or my kids?’” he said.
“I started getting scared that I am going to have issues
like this when I grow up. People always tell me I’m having the effects that my
father has, this agitation.
“I am starting to
reflect on myself that maybe it is better if I start to keep quiet and slow
down because I really don’t want to end up like this guy.
“He said I should not come out here and talk. That I should
not dare step foot against him and that he will crush me.
“He said he will crush me if I ever dared to go against him.
I just want to see what happens next. I am here for the ride”.
Emeka Ike’s 17-year-old marriage to Suzanne Emma was
dissolved by a Lagos Island customary court in 2017 over incessant battery.
The court also granted Ike the custody of their four
children but ruled that Suzanne be allowed unhindered access to them.
The actor, who has not been featured in movies for over 13
years, however, made a comeback in ‘Malaika’, a film by Toyin Abraham.
During an interview last week, Ike alleged that Suzanne made
him lose his properties worth millions and access to his four kids.
Suzanne, however, fired back at Ike, alleging that she
endured physical abuse during their marriage.
