Nollywood actor Stanley Ontop has addressed concerns surrounding the sudden disappearance of fellow actor Alex Ekubo from social media, dismissing rumors about his health.
Speculations had been circulating that Ekubo was battling serious health issues after months of inactivity online, with his last known social media activity recorded on December 30, 2024, according to checks by Federal Character. This sparked worry among fans and colleagues alike.
In a recent Instagram post on Tuesday, Stanley Ontop assured the public that Ekubo is in good health and doing well.
He explained that Ekubo chose to step back from social media and work due to the intense negativity and toxicity from the media.
Stanley wrote, “If you all remember in February I posted his picture and was asking about him. @alexxekubo is very fine and he’s doing great. He just took time from social media and work. The media was too toxic on him so he decided to give you guys some space. Alex is good 100.”
He further emphasized that Ekubo plans to return stronger and happier, adding, “Alex is not sick as being circulated by some mischievous elements. Alex we await your return. Depression is real.”
Reports indicate that Alexx Ekubo has been dealing with personal challenges following a highly publicized breakup with his ex-fiance, Fancy Acholonu, along with viral rumors regarding his sexuality. During their difficult split, Acholonu revealed her uncertainty about Ekubo’s sexual orientation, citing his refusal to be intimate during their five-year relationship.
