Maduagwu took to his official Instagram account @uchemadagwu to announce to his fans and Nigerians that he lied about his gay status.

He wrote, “Dear fans I am not gay. I lost movie roles endorsement and my girlfriend fighting for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) in Nigeria.

“Omg! Even my girlfriend left me despite knowing I was fighting for LGBT right in Naija but I no regret using my celebrity status to fight for this beautiful community,” he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the actor had on January, posted on his Instagram handle that he was “proudly gay” and this generated a lot of condemnation by his fans.

So, let us practice Jesus’ kind of love,” he shared.

The actor is gradually rising in the Nollywood industry as he had featured in a couple of movies where he delivered good performances.

As a brand influencer, Maduagwu partners with several brands in advertising and promoting their goods and services
