Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has addressed the controversy surrounding his on-screen role with actress and reality star Bambam, following rumours that the two were romantically involved.
Speaking during an interview with BBC Igbo, Arukwe explained that the movie they featured in together was the first time he had ever met Bambam.
“Before I touched her, I asked her if there was any way I could touch her that her husband wouldn’t like or that might cause problems at home,” he said.
According to the actor, he made the request out of respect for Bambam’s marriage and to ensure that nothing done during filming would create issues in her home.
However, after the movie was released, speculations began circulating online claiming that both actors were dating and had sl+pt together.
“That movie was the first time I had ever met her. But people started saying we slept together and were dating, which was completely false,” Arukwe added.
He stressed that the rumours are untrue and noted that the controversy has been generating conversations online, particularly because Bambam is married. Arukwe maintained that their relationship was strictly professional and limited to their roles in the film.
