Popular Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has finally addressed the long-standing rumors about his sexuality, which went viral after speculations suggested that he was gay.
Speaking candidly during his appearance on the *Unfiltered and Extra Spicy* show, Arukwe firmly denied the claims, but also shared his support for the LGBTQ+ community.
Arukwe admitted that the gay rumor was the most shocking one he had ever heard about himself.
However, he was quick to add that, rather than feeling upset, he found a sense of excitement, reflecting that “you will blow” once people start spreading such stories about you. “I told myself, ‘this must be it.’”
Despite the gossip, Arukwe clarified that his support for his gay friends remains unchanged. “I have a lot of gay friends, and I love them,” he stated, emphasizing that he cherishes their friendship and loves them for who they are.
The actor, however, was clear in asserting his own identity. “But I’m not gay, and I won’t agree to what I am not,” he stated. “For me, let God be the judge. If it is my sexuality, I would own it. I will be one of the hottest around.” His response signals a firm stance against the rumors, as well as a call for respect towards individuals’ personal choices, regardless of their sexual orientation.
Arukwe’s comments not only sought to clear up the rumors but also highlighted his respect and love for his LGBTQ+ friends. In a society where many individuals still face discrimination for their sexuality, his statement reflects an open-minded and supportive attitude toward diversity. His stance emphasizes that, while rumors can be hurtful, they don’t define who a person is, and it’s essential to embrace the people around you for who they truly are.
While Arukwe has made it clear that he’s not gay, his words serve as a reminder of the importance of support and understanding across different communities. His candid and respectful response has been widely appreciated by fans and peers alike.
