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

Arukwe made the statement on Wednesday via his X account, revealing that a specific user had been identified for allegedly spreading baseless claims about his professional relationship with an unnamed colleague.

The rumours reportedly gained traction following the viral release of the 2025 YouTube film Love In Every Word.

The actor said he deliberately chose not to publicise the account to avoid amplifying the issue, 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,” Arukwe added.

The development comes amid renewed public scrutiny of BamBam and Teddy A’s marriage, with online speculation suggesting that on-screen roles may have triggered tension. Neither Arukwe nor BamBam has confirmed the claims.

BamBam has largely remained silent, sharing only a brief video on social media, while Teddy A had earlier dismissed domestic violence allegations as false. Both have reportedly unfollowed each other online, further fuelling speculation.
