Uzor Arukwe: I Have Lots Of Gay Friends, I Love Them But I’m Straight
Uzor Arukwe, the Nigerian actor, has addressed the “shocking” rumour surrounding his sexuality.
In an interview on Unfiltered and Extra Spicy, Arukwe said he was stunned when he first heard the rumour about him being gay.
The film star dismissed the claim, saying if he were gay, he would have no reason to hide it and would “own it”.
The actor said he saw the rumours as a sign that he has finally gained recognition in the industry.
He also expressed love and support for his gay friends, adding that he holds no judgment towards anyone over their sexuality.
“The worst rumour I have heard about myself was that I am gay. I was shocked to my bones, but I was somehow excited too because I heard that when people start saying those kinds of things, you will blow, so I thought to myself, ‘this must be it,’” he said.
“I have a lot of gay friends, and I love them. They are my people so I know their sexuality.
“I love them to death and I have nothing against them whatsoever. But I’m not going to agree to what I’m not just because to some people they are a certain type of people. For me, let God judge.
“If it is my sexuality, I would own it. I’ll be one of the hottest around.”
