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.”
