Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has spoken out about the controversy surrounding his on-screen role with actress and reality star Bamike Olawunmi-Adenibuyan, popularly known as Bambam.
During an interview with BBC Igbo, Arukwe dismissed rumors claiming he had a romantic relationship with the married actress after they appeared together in a film.
The actor explained that he was cautious while filming and had a conversation with Bambam about boundaries before performing scenes that involved physical contact. According to him, he wanted to ensure that nothing he did would cause issues in her marriage.
“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.
Arukwe also denied claims that their relationship extended beyond the movie set, revealing that they had not even met before the project.
“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,” he added.
