Nigerian actor Uzor Arukwe, also known by his nickname Odogwu Parara, has finally spoken out about ongoing rumours concerning his sexuality. In a recent interview that quickly went viral, the Love In Every Word star addressed the claims that have followed him for years.
Arukwe said he was surprised when the rumours first surfaced, linking him romantically with another man. However, he explained that he now sees such controversies as part of being in the spotlight.
“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,” he said. “But for me, let God judge.”

He made it clear that although he respects and feels comfortable around members of the LGBTQ+ community, he does not identify as gay himself. According to him, if that were the case, he would have been open about it.
The actor’s response has generated massive attention on social media. While some praised his honesty and maturity, others felt he should not have addressed the topic at all.
Despite the mixed reactions, this direct response has sparked conversations about privacy, identity, and public perception in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
