Nollywood actor Stanley Ontop has addressed public concerns regarding the sudden disappearance of fellow actor Alexx Ekubo from social media and the widespread rumors about his health.
Reports had circulated suggesting that Alexx Ekubo was suffering from serious health issues after months of absence from social media. DAILY POST confirmed that Ekubo’s last online activity was on December 30, 2024, which fueled speculation among fans and celebrities alike.
However, in an Instagram post on Tuesday, Stanley Ontop described these rumors as false. He assured the public that Alexx Ekubo is in good health and doing well.
Stanley revealed that Ekubo deliberately stepped back from social media due to the toxicity of the media environment surrounding him. “The media was too toxic on him, so he decided to give you guys some space,” Stanley wrote.
He added that the actor took time off both social media and work to focus on his mental health, highlighting the seriousness of depression. “Alex is coming back to this media strong and happy. Alex is not sick as being circulated by some mischievous elements. Depression is real,” he emphasized.
Stanley’s post also referenced a prior social media inquiry he made in February about Ekubo’s wellbeing, affirming again that the actor is “very fine” and ready to make a strong return.
Reports suggest Alexx Ekubo has been dealing with the emotional aftermath of his messy breakup with ex-fiancee Fancy Acholonu, as well as viral online allegations about his sexuality. During their breakup, Fancy Acholonu expressed uncertainty about Alexx’s sexual orientation, citing his refusal to be intimate with her throughout their five-year relationship.
Fans are now hopeful that Alexx Ekubo will soon return to the spotlight with renewed strength.
