Media personality, Uti Nwanchukwu has opened up on his relationship with his rumoured gay partner and Actor, Alex Ekubo.
Uti who was a guest on the Channels TV’s rubbin’ minds show, explained that the relationship was part of his passion of giving back to the society as they went everywhere together so he could help give Alex the exposure his talents deserved.
There had been rumours about the hidden
motive of their relationship and he wondered why “many Nigerians” would
complain that celebrities were not using their status to help others; and when
they do, there would also be suspicion about them being in involved in amorous
relationships.
“In Nigeria, a lot of people feel that
you cannot give someone so much without getting something back in return; which
is most likely sex,” he said.
He referred to the speculations as
“very ridiculous, but of course it didn’t affect the relationship. We would sit
back and laugh because me I know my friend, I know say him like woman well
well, and he knows me as a very disciplined man but I like women.”

Uti further threw some light on his
recent activities which includes music.
Although, he refused to rate himself as
a musician, Uti noted that he grew up with his multiple talents, and has
enjoyed the new experience because of the reaction it drew from many fans, as
they were mostly shocked that he could sing.
Uti also put
out some harsh words for his critics who have tagged him as fame
conscious. He noted that he had no reason to allow anonymous comments affect
him. He said: “My skill is to serve serious minded people, or in layman’s
terms, people that have sense. I don’t work because I want to entertain daft or
dull people.
“You have to be extremely
mentally challenged to take an anonymous comment seriously. Serious people
would actually come to you and I have not met any serious person that has
abused me to say ‘why are you everywhere’?”
When asked to talk about his love life,
he plainly said “There is someone in my life, but we have not given our
relationship a name yet”
