Actor Jym Iyke ashamed of bad reputation

Nollywood bad boy Jym Iyke is not as hard as he wants us believe after all.

A little birdie has just whispered to the SPY that the guy stayed away from the recent African Movies Academy Awards (AMAA) because he wasn't man enough to face the press over a catalogue of scandals he's been associated with lately. The latest (still in court) is the N15m fraud case involving a company, an aggrieved investor and a female friend of the actor.

According to Questionmark, after elaborate preparations for the big day, Iyke surprisingly let his VIP ticket plus a hired limo put at his disposal by the Awards' organisers go to waste after he suddenly developed last-minute butterflies and informed his pals who were supposed to accompany him that he was backing out of the event to avoid answering journalists' questions. 

The SPY reported last week how the hunky actor virtually committed contempt of court as he was observed to be actively using his mobile device during court proceedings and also how he later got his thugs to manhandle a spectator at the court house for allegedly filming him. The pen is truly mightier than the sword. Who's baaaaaad?!!!
