‘He isn’t gay.. he had been sleeping with Fancy until Dec 24’ — Alexx Ekubo’s sister speaks

Ifeoma Ekubo, the sister to Alexx Ekubo, has refuted the sexual denial allegation against the actor by Fancy Acholonu, his ex-lover. 

Fancy has been in the news since she apologised to the film star on December 29, 2022, for calling off their wedding in 2021.

She recently claimed they did not have sex during their five-year relationship.

The model also said she ended the relationship to save her mental health.

“Honestly, this whole thing has been complicated beyond words so it’s unhealthy for me to continue this relationship,” she had said.

But in a recent interview, Ifeoma countered Fancy’s claim.

She said her family has been silent about the issue but she is now out to set the record straight.

Ifeoma claimed Alexx and Acholonu had been sleeping with each other until December 24.

“In fact, even the first time, when they broke up. When Fancy went to break up with the engagement. When they made up again, they slept again,” she said.

“Even when that thing (break up) happened that first time that Fancy went to Alexx, we told Alexx that don’t try to sleep with this girl before you get her pregnant if you know you are not ready.

“They have been sleeping together for God knows how long. They have been sleeping together until December 24.”

Ifeoma, who spoke from the United States, added that her brother is not “gay”.

She also enjoined the public to desist from tagging him as one.

“Alex is not gay, it doesn’t run in the family. Honestly, the family didn’t want us to talk, but this is really getting out of hand,” she said.

“This is called defamation of image.”

In Nigeria, same-sex marriage is prohibited according to the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act, 2013 (SSMPA) which was signed in January 2014.
