Popular Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has finally addressed the swirling rumours about his sexuality, dismissing viral claims that he is gay.
Speaking on the Unfiltered and Extra Spicy show, Arukwe described the rumour as the “worst” he has ever heard about himself, adding that it came as both a shock and a curious source of encouragement.
“I was shocked to my bones,” he said. “But at the same time, I was excited because I heard that you will blow when people start saying those kinds of things about you.”
While reaffirming his identity, Arukwe expressed love and support for the LGBTQ+ community, noting that he has many gay friends whom he deeply respects and cares for.
“I love them. They are my friends, so I know their sexuality and I love them to death. I have nothing against them whatsoever. But I’m not a gay, and I won’t agree to what I am not,” he stated.
Arukwe emphasized that if he were gay, he would have no reason to hide it. “If it is my sexuality, I would own it. I will be one of the hottest around,” he added confidently.
