Nigerian Celebrities Who Have Been Accused To Be Gay

Some Nigerian Celebrities have not escaped the rumours of being gay. The media is filled up with homosexual news and these celebrities have not escaped this. Some are tired of debunking the news daily, they live with it now and let people believe whatever they want to believe. The first on our list is an Award-winning actor,  Alex Ekubo

Alex Ekubo

He was rumoured to be dating the reality TV star from Big Brother Africa, Uti Nwachukwu. They were also rumoured to have broken up and now he has moved on to his colleague and fellow actor, IK Ogbonna. At a point, Alex had a girlfriend, Fancy Acholonu, who is an American-based businesswoman. They had gotten engaged and for their personal reasons, they called off the wedding.

Alex’s gay rumours got worse here because people started to question his sexuality and they said he couldn’t keep a woman because he’s gay.

Iyabo Ojo

The Yoruba actress and single mother of two is not used to the controversy. She has been accused of many things and being a lesbian is one of them. She was said to also be involved in a threesome and helped the popular Apostle, Apostle Johnson Suleman, to get girls. Iyabo Ojo has denied all these allegations but the accusations keep pouring more with little or no proof.

Phyno

As weird as this sounds Phyno was once dragged for being gay. A picture surfaced on the media showing him sharing a kiss with a man in the club. The Connect rapper said that he didn’t even know where they took the picture from because he can’t remember the day. But clearly, he was the one in the picture.

He said, “The only thing that was in my head when I saw the picture was where did this happen. I said back then that a gangster like me could not have been involved in something like that. The fact is that I am not a gangster and I don’t want people to see me in that light. I think I am too serious and cool for that kind of thing. People say I am gay. That’s laughable because these same people reported some time ago that I impregnated a girl. So you can see that these things don’t work together. My life is all about entertainment, as long as the people are happy about what they read, I am happy too”.

Genevieve Nnaji

As popular as Genevieve is, not much is known about her man. Her movies are watched around the world and she also has fans around the world. She has been linked with the former vice president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar and Musician, D’banj. At a point in her career, she was rumoured to be in a relationship with the Beninoise actress and musician, Ella Martin. People tagged the duo as lesbians.

The rumours started when Ella Martin and Genevieve were sharing a kiss together. Ella stated that it was leaked by someone who stole Genevieve’s phone. According to some reports, Genevieve has also been linked with some other actresses like Rukky Sanda. She has never come out to debunk or confirm this news.

Denerele Edun

Recently, Denerele Edun has come out to say that he is not a crossdresser. When accused of being gay, he also said he wasn’t so we are quite unsure of what Denerele is.

Denerele fuels these rumours himself by dressing like a woman and he even goes as far as going shirtless and taking nearly nude pictures with feminine poses. There was a picture of him and Charly Boy kissing but the two debunked this news, stating that it was graphic designers who photoshopped their pictures.

Denerele said,

“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 faces. On the part of Charley Boy and me.”

“I was not expecting the paparazzi that came with the picture. So what was the picture about then? I really don’t want to go into details, but it could have been a controversial agenda, it could have been a publicity stunt, it could have been the real deal and it could have been photoshopped, but whatever it was, people should just go ahead and make their conclusions.”

Asa

Asa Is a private person so just a few people hear about her private life and relationships. This is why people have concluded that the musician is a lesbian. She also has a tomboy style of dressing. She was accused of being a lesbian by a local writer. She didn’t let it slide as she went ahead to sue the writer.
