Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has strongly denied viral claims linking him romantically to his colleague Bamike Olawunmi, popularly known as Bambam, warning that those responsible for spreading the story will be held accountable.
Speculation erupted online after the pair appeared together in the 2025 YouTube hit Love In Every Word. Their convincing on-screen chemistry led some social media users to blur the lines between fiction and reality, with rumours alleging that the actor impregnated Bambam and caused trouble in her marriage to fellow reality star Teddy A.
The allegation gathered momentum after a post circulated on X (formerly Twitter), claiming that Bambam’s husband had discovered supposed private messages between the co-stars and that the actress was pregnant. The post triggered heated debate, with many fans reacting before any confirmation from those involved.
Breaking his silence, Arukwe dismissed the claims as entirely false and harmful. Without naming the account, he revealed that a source behind the rumour had been identified and insisted there would be consequences.
According to the actor, he refused to amplify the page by quoting it directly but stressed that spreading unverified accusations about his professional relationship with a colleague crossed a serious line.
Arukwe expressed frustration at what he described as clout-chasing at the expense of people’s reputations. He maintained that he and Bambam only worked together as actors and that attempts to turn a movie role into evidence of a real-life affair were reckless and malicious.
The controversy has once again highlighted how quickly narratives can spiral online, especially when fans become emotionally invested in characters portrayed on screen. Many supporters of both actors have since called for caution, urging the public to avoid drawing conclusions without proof.
As of now, Bambam and Teddy A have not issued any formal response regarding the rumours.
