I was the Kid with the Crazy Afro- Jim Iyke Opens Up on the Reasons why His Relationship with Rita Dominic Didn’t Work Out
Both actors starred in several movies together and could easily pass for the face of Nollywood at the time.
In a recent interview with Broadway TV, Jim Iyke opened up on why his relationship with Rita Dominic didn’t last. He said that there were deep into each other but he was just a kid trying to explore so Rita who was looking at a longivity couldn’t cope with his lifestyle. He said…
”Rita and I met when I was just beginning to embrace fame ,the comforts that came with it.The laurels and the distraction,even the destruction. And Rita is not the kind of woman that hangs around a groth. We were very deep with eachother.We still are great friends.As a matter of fact,it may surprise you thar we haven’t spoken to each other in over two years. But when we meet,we are cordial ,respectful .
There is that deep rooted thing of a man or woman you shared something with .I don’t think Rita at that time was looking at longevity, truthfully .Don’t forget,I was the kid with the crazy afro,ready to start a fight.
My life was around having a good time and as many conquests as possible .So,who wants that kind of guy?So this question is futuristic in a sense .Fastforward peharps 10 years from now ,that question may have had dept or hold water .But then,what was there to hold on to?I mean,seriously ?I was partying like a crazy person.She tried to show me another life and say listen ‘there is so much more to you ” I promise you that Rita will not hang around with a lay about .I was uncontrollable. I think we have outgrown each other now .I would not see Rita as son one I wantto get involved with because so much layers of growth and evolvement have gone on in her life and so is mine .So place the same place and situation now,it may have worked .
Rita Dominic and Jim Iyke featured in movies like ‘Love Will Change Him’, ‘My Matrimonial Home,’ ‘Waterloo’ and many others.
