In a post shared by @uzorarukwe on X (formerly Twitter), the Nollywood actor has officially addressed the viral allegations linking him to the rumored marital strain between reality stars BamBam and Teddy A. Arukwe expressed his frustration over “baseless accusations” that have circulated online following his professional collaboration with BamBam.
The actor revealed that his legal team has identified specific social media accounts responsible for spreading the narrative that he had an affair with his colleague. He emphasized that their relationship is strictly professional, stemming from their work on the 2025 YouTube film “Love In Every Word.”
The rumors gained momentum after eagle-eyed fans noticed that BamBam and Teddy A had reportedly unfollowed each other on Instagram. While the couple has faced marriage rumors before, the inclusion of Arukwe as a third party prompted the actor to step forward and protect his reputation.
Arukwe’s statement served as a stern warning to bloggers and “trolls” who use celebrity names to drive engagement. He noted that he chose not to name the specific account publicly to avoid giving them the attention they seek but confirmed that legal proceedings are being initiated.
* Vanguard Nigeria (Entertainment): “Arukwe addressed the controversy in a statement on social media… those responsible would be held accountable for reputational damage.”
* The Punch (Nollywood News): “Nollywood actor, Uzor Arukwe, has threatened legal action against individuals circulating what he described as false and damaging rumours.”
Echotitbits take:
This situation highlights the dangerous intersection of on-screen chemistry and real-life gossip in Nollywood. While “unfollowing” is often the first sign of trouble in celebrity marriages, dragging a co-star into the mix without proof is a legal minefield. Arukwe’s decision to involve lawyers suggests he’s drawing a hard line against the “fan-fiction” style of reporting that often plagues Nollywood stars.
