Nollywood star Uzor Arukwe has threatened legal action against individuals circulating damaging and false rumours about him and a colleague. The actor addressed the controversy in a statement on his X account on Wednesday, revealing that a specific user had been identified for allegedly spreading baseless accusations about his professional relationship with another actor, whose name he did not disclose.

The rumours reportedly emerged after the release of the 2025 YouTube film Love In Every Word, which went viral online.

Arukwe explained that he deliberately refrained from publicizing the account to avoid amplifying the issue but warned that the individual would face consequences.

“A specific account has been identified to spread false rumors and baseless accusations about me and my professional engagement with another colleague in the industry. I choose not to quote the account directly, as I refuse to give such accounts the engagement they seek at the risk of jail time,” he wrote.

“Believe me when I say this: that individual will be made a scapegoat so others learn to respect boundaries and refrain from chasing clout and Elon Musk money at the expense of damaging someone else’s reputation.”

The development comes amid renewed online speculation surrounding the marriage of BamBam and Teddy A, with some claiming that their on-screen roles may have triggered tension in their relationship. However, neither Arukwe nor BamBam has confirmed these claims.

BamBam has remained largely silent, sharing only a brief video on social media, while Teddy A had previously dismissed domestic violence allegations as false. Reports also suggest the couple has unfollowed each other on social media, fueling further speculation.
