‘This Is Where Demons Live’ – Jim Iyke Speaks on Dark Side of Entertainment Industry

Veteran Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has stirred reactions after claiming that the entertainment industry is largely dominated by “demons” and structured to promote the values of satanism.

Speaking during a recent interview with media personality Joey Akan, the actor argued that many people in the entertainment industry prioritize self-glorification over serving God, describing self-worship as one of the core attributes of satanism.

Jim Iyke recounted his personal experience with fame, revealing that there was a time he believed he was extraordinary because fans would cry or faint whenever they saw him. However, he said his perspective changed after developing a closer relationship with God, leading him to realize that such admiration had fueled self-worship.

According to the actor, remaining spiritually grounded in the entertainment industry requires deliberate effort because the environment often encourages pride and self-exaltation.

“There is no bigger enabler than the entertainment industry. This is where demons live. Entertainment is totally created and orchestrated to extol the virtues of satanism,” he said.

He questioned how much of the industry truly glorifies God, insisting that unless individuals intentionally pursue a relationship with God, the system naturally promotes values that are contrary to the Christian faith.

Jim Iyke further explained that while creativity reflects God’s nature, many entertainers end up serving themselves rather than their Creator.

“As a creative, to create is to mimic God. But in the entertainment structure many serve self. You can’t serve God and serve self. That is a conflict of interest. Serving self is satanism itself,” he stated.

Reflecting on his journey, the actor said he once mistook public adoration for personal greatness but has since realized that true significance comes from knowing God.

“I have been there. I have seen people cry when I walked into a room and I looked at them and thought I was special. No, you are not. Once you find your place with God, you will understand what is special. What is special is being able to find God in this place that is devoid of His presence,” he added.
