Nollywood leading man Uzor Arukwe is drawing a hard line in the sand after becoming the target of a viral, malicious rumor. The actor is currently trending after an X (formerly Twitter) user, identified as “Stay Wicked,” alleged that he was responsible for a pregnancy involving his colleague, Bambam (Bamike Olawunmi-Adenibuyan). The baseless claim further suggested that the situation had led to a divorce between Bambam and her husband, Teddy A, following “leaked chats.”
Uzor Arukwe didn’t let the “Odogwu” drama slide. In a stern statement released on February 11, 2026, he made it clear that he has identified the specific account spreading these “baseless accusations” and is prepared to pursue legal action. Refusing to quote the post to avoid giving the user the engagement they seek, Arukwe warned that the individual will be made a “scapegoat” to serve as a deterrent for others “chasing Elon Musk money” at the expense of his reputation
The rumor stems from the duo’s undeniable on-screen chemistry in the 2025 hit movie Love in Every Word, where they played the characters Odogwu and Achalugo. While fans love a good movie ship, Uzor is reminding everyone that real life has boundaries. Meanwhile, close sources confirm that Bambam and Teddy A’s marriage remains intact, with the couple recently addressing and dismissing various social media-fueled rifts
