Nigerian actor Uzor Arukwe, popularly known as Odogwu Parara for his role in the movie Love in Every Word, has broken his silence on one of the biggest controversies that has trailed his career.

In a recent interview that has since gone viral, Uzor opened up about persistent gay rumours and how he was once romantically linked to another male figure in the industry. The actor expressed initial shock when he first heard the allegations but admitted that with fame comes controversy.

“I was taken aback when I heard it,” he said, referencing the claims that he was in a relationship with a man.

Despite the buzz surrounding his sexuality, Uzor clarified that he is not gay but holds no prejudice toward the LGBTQ+ community. He revealed that he has many gay friends, and he’s comfortable being around them.

“I have a lot of gay friends. I love them. If being gay was my sexuality, I would own it—and I’d be one of the hottest around,” Uzor stated confidently.

The actor emphasized that while he respects everyone’s sexual orientation, he would not accept being misrepresented or labeled falsely. He also noted that if he were gay, he would not hide it and would openly embrace that identity.
