Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has threatened legal action against individuals circulating what he described as false and damaging rumours about him and a colleague.

Arukwe addressed the controversy in a statement shared on his X account on Wednesday, revealing that a specific user had been identified for allegedly spreading baseless accusations concerning his professional relationship with a fellow actor, whose name he did not disclose.

The rumours reportedly gained momentum following the release of the 2025 YouTube film Love In Every Word, which went viral and sparked widespread online conversations.

The actor said he deliberately chose not to publicise the handle of the account involved in order to avoid amplifying the claims, 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 public scrutiny surrounding the marriage of reality TV personalities BamBam and Teddy A, with online speculation suggesting that on-screen roles may have triggered tension in their relationship. However, neither Arukwe nor BamBam has confirmed any such claims.

BamBam has remained largely silent, sharing only a brief video on social media, while Teddy A previously dismissed domestic violence allegations against him as false.

The couple reportedly unfollowed each other on social media, further fuelling speculation online.
