For years now, these celebrities have battled so much to refute the gay rumours that have seriously been trailing them. Despite their efforts, the rumours keep escalating.
The media and blogs are filled with gay rumours about these celebrities.As a matter of fact, none of the people carrying the rumours has any concrete proof that any of these celebrities are actually gay. So they are likely mere rumours.
1. DENRELE EDUN
Denrele is the one that is worst hit by this gay rumour. His weird lifestyle may have necessitated this rumour.He once talked about the gay rumours trailing him in an interview. Excerpt below:
Is Derenle Gay?
I think people believe what they want to believe.
But a lot of people believe you are. And to prove them right, a picture of you Charley Boy went viral on the internet recently…
“I don’t read the news, I make the news.The thing is people tend to look for loopholes when they see you doing well. And since people feel I am feminine in nature, then they think I’m gay. But the truth is I don’t really care about what people say because I’m not fashioned according to what the society expects. And also I think for my personality, if I were gay, the news would have grown from speculations and would have been in people’s face.On the part of Charley Boy and me, I was not expecting the paparazzi that came with the picture.
2. CHARLY BOY
His weird lifestyle also contributed to his gay rumours. Pictures of him kissing Denrele increased the rumours too. He was once quoted to have said he’s gay and the head of illuminati in Nigeria.
But he later denied it and threatened to sue the newspaper that carried the news.
3. UTI NWACHUKWU
Uti is seen as gay by so many people. They alleged that Alexx Ekubo his erstwhile best friend who was sharing a flat with him then, was his gay partner. They always travelled out and also attended events together then which fuelled the rumours.
However, Uti took to social media, facebook and twitter warning and threatening seriously all who were spreading false rumours about his se-xuality.
He said: “I am going to say this just once. All false gossip mongers about my se-uality are hereby warned. A scape goat will be chosen verysoon. This is no threat.
”who god has blessed/elevated, no man can curse/bring down! once there’s wonderful news about me, the devil’s agents try to interrupt but they always fail cause they use lies…congrats to the false rumour mongers. i’ll say it once ..be warned. very very soon a scape goat shall be found. i pray none of my current or former friends are involved cause the wrath of the almighty jehovah lord god of israel will spare no one…the egyptian plague shall be child’s play compared to what is coming.they shall know i serve a living god. same god that has crowned me. baba god noooniii!! to you be all the glory honour worship adoration and praise forever more! amen…i love you ufc..remain blessed”
4 ALEXX EKUBO
He was rumoured to have dated Uti Nwachukwu. He’s rumoured to be dating IK Ogbonna currently.Alexx addressed his rumoured gay affair with Uti then when he said
It’s hilarious! Back in the days, when you have a friend who you go out with often, it was cool, people called him your best friend. Now, when they see twoguys together, people begin to have weird thoughts.You see, in this business of entertainment, what you need is someone that believes in you to grow. Uti is big, and he helped me a lot prior to now that I’m beginning to gather my momentum. He is a ‘BigBrother Africa All Stars’ Winner. You can hate him but you can’t take that away from him. A lot of these local celebrities, outside Victoria Island nobody knows them. Uti is someone who grandmothers and pepper sellers know. We were in Ghana recently and the President of Ghana saw Uti at the Airport and recognized him. You can’t hate on success.
5. IK OGBONNA
He’s been called gay by people but he has denied it severally.
IK Ogbonna was a guest at the Pulse TV studio where he refuted the gay rumours associated with his name.The actor who turned up with his gorgeous Colombian girlfriend, described the rumours as ridiculous as he stated that he loves women with nice curves.
According to the actor when asked about how he feels about the gay allegations
“They say IK Ogbonna is gay, Jesus Christ!!!, does this guy look gay to you? (takes off hissunglasses). When I heard that one, I couldn’t stop laughing, I am still laughing.«First and foremost, I have a foundation that won’t let me do certain things,I was reading a partof the bible with some people theother day – Leviticus 18 : 22, and God calls it an abomination.
«I am not even attracted to my own self,I love myself as a person but I cant imagine to get (makes sound). Besides, my love for women is out of this horoscope, I love to feel it”
disgust it even the bible does. My love for women is even so much that you must be extremely feminine for me to love you.”
6. BANKY W
Nigerian R&B singer, Banky W reacted to rumours about his s-exuality.The singer mentioned this during an interview he granted to Y! Magazine saying
‘It’s hilarious to me and completely false. I’m not. Maybe it’s because I’m not married, and I practice safe se-x and thus have no children yet.’
