Is Alexx Ekubo Gay? Mixed Reactions Follows Actor’s Love Story With Ex-Fiancee Fancy
Mixed reactions continue to surround the ongoing scandal between popular Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo and his ex-fiancée Fancy Acholonu.
Fancy called off their wedding a few months after their engagement last year, but the reason for her decision was not clearly communicated.
There are claims that Alex Ekubo and Fancy had no sexual intimacy for five years.
Many netizens speculated that Fancy discovered that Alex is gay, a rumor that has circulated for some time.
Recently, Fancy took to social media to apologize publicly to the actor for calling off their wedding, which caused a stir online.
Some argued that the apology was a plea to get back with Alex, while others speculated that they were already back together and the apology was a condition of their reconciliation.
Alex responded to the apology, saying, “I appreciate the apology. May God bless us all.” Fancy later explained that the actor threatened and manipulated her into making a public apology.
In the wake of Fancy’s claim that they were not sexually intimate for the five years they were together, celebrities such as Daddy Freeze, Uche Maduagwu, Nkechi Blessing, and Mr Jollof, as well as other social media users, have weighed in on the situation. Fancy stated that she couldn’t confirm or deny whether Alex is gay.
Actress Nkechi Blessing mocked the revelation, stating that it would be impossible for her to date someone for five years without getting sexual with them. Daddy Freeze commented, “Religious Beliefs really.” Uche Maduagwu said, “Finally, the truth is out, not all that glitter for Nollywood is Gold.
Fancy tried to cover your shame for years and had the courage to break up with you, but instead of being grateful to this good woman, you allegedly took her to repair your image. So many women have endured so much ridicule in their relationships just to protect their men, but never got appreciated.” Mr Jollof wrote “Fear Lagos.”
Other social media users had various reactions, with some expressing skepticism about the truth of the claim and others speculating about the reasons behind it.
Olubowale Beatrice said, “I don’t believe those celebrities. These people are worldly, and we’ve seen the way they live their lives even while acting. So I don’t think it is normal, there’s a reason behind it. Either Alex has it with someone else, or he’s into homosexual.”
Prince Idong said, “Based on his reason, yes, it’s possible for him not to have intimacy with Fancy.”
Suleiman Lawal commented, “He might be protecting his woman’s dignity because there are some men that once they have intimacy with a lady they will lose interest. So they mostly discipline themselves to sustain their cherished relationship.”
Bankole Moses stated, “That cannot be true because I don’t believe in such a relationship. Even the way I see that guy, he’s baddest with his acting in movies, I don’t believe the accusation against him.” Joseph Mercy said, “What I see in this issue is either Alex is into someone else or he’s into homosexuality.”
Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy has responded to allegations from his estranged associate, Sophia Egbueje, who claimed he failed to honor a promise to buy her a Lamborghini.
The controversy began after a leaked voice note surfaced online, in which Sophia allegedly stated that Burna Boy had assured her of the luxury car following an intimate encounter.
However, she claimed he did not fulfill the promise, leading her to cut off communication with him.

The leaked conversation reignited discussions on social media, with many debating the authenticity of the claims and Burna Boy’s involvement.
In response, the Grammy-winning singer addressed the allegations in a viral video, seemingly mocking the situation through a playful tune.
He sang: “I have reached Kenya mehn. No do, I told you. If you don’t get me, forget about it. I didn’t buy Lambo, is that why you’re shouting?”
His reaction has sparked further conversations online, with some viewing it as a dismissal of the claims, while others see it as an indirect acknowledgment of the situation.
As of now, Sophia Egbueje has not issued a response to Burna Boy’s remarks.
Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, also known as Rudeboy, has alleged that his twin brother Peter Okoye is behind the fraud case filed against their elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye.
Recall that Jude was arraigned on Wednesday before Justice Alexander Owoeye of the Federal High Court in Lagos on a seven-count charge of money laundering.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) accused him of laundering ₦1.38 billion, $1 million, and £34,537.59 through his company, Northside Music Ltd.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges. His lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, requested that he be remanded in EFCC custody, but the prosecution, led by Larry Aso, opposed the request.
The court ruled that he be held at the Ikoyi Correctional Facility pending the hearing of his bail application.
On Friday, Paul Okoye addressed journalists outside the court, declaring his support for Jude and alleging that Peter was responsible for his legal troubles.
“I’m supporting him because I know the truth,” Paul said in a viral video.
“The truth is Peter is the one putting Jude through these things. He is putting him in prison, and I’m here to bring him out. The same crime that they accused him of doing, then Peter is guilty, Paul is also guilty too.”
The allegations have reignited tensions within the Okoye family, which has experienced publicized disputes since the breakup of the P-Square music group in 2017.
The brothers reconciled in 2021, but the latest development suggests that unresolved issues may still exist.
As of press time, Peter Okoye has yet to respond to his brother’s claims.
A Magistrate Court sitting in Sabo, Yaba, Lagos, has ruled that popular musician Abdulazeez Fashola, known as Naira Marley, and socialite Sam Larry had no involvement in the death of singer Aloba Oladimeji Ilerioluwa, popularly called Mohbad.
Delivering the ruling on Tuesday, Magistrate Ejiro Kubenje read the legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP), which stated that Naira Marley had no case to answer.

The court also discharged Owodunni Ibrahim, popularly known as Primeboy, and Mohbad’s former manager, Opere Babatunde.
The verdict comes after months of intense speculation and legal proceedings following Mohbad’s tragic passing.
His death had sparked widespread controversy, leading to public outcry and calls for justice.
However, while some suspects were cleared, the DPP recommended the prosecution of auxiliary nurse Feyisayo Ogedengbe and Mohbad’s friend, Ayobami Sadiq, for reckless and negligent acts.
They will be charged under Section 251 (e) of the Criminal Law, Ch C.17, Vol.3, Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
