He stated that he deliberately refused to quote the account so as not to give it attention, but warned that the individual would face consequences.
Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has reacted to claims that he impregnated his colleague, Bamike Olawunmi, popularly known as Bambam, and caused issues in her marriage to her husband, Teddy A.
The controversy, which gained traction on social media, stemmed from Arukwe’s collaboration with Bambam in the 2025 YouTube film Love In Every Word, which went viral shortly after its release.
Amid the controversy online, a 𝕏 user wrote, “Popular movie actress BamBam (achalugo) has been reportedly divorced by her husband after finding out his wife was pregnant for her colleague who played the role of her odogwu in their recent movie, he got to find out through her leaked private chat with him. Hmmm it’s sad to say women are never to be trust worthy.”
However, in a statement, Arukwe warned that those behind the rumours would face consequences, revealing that he had already identified a particular social media account.
Clearly angered by the allegations, Uzor Arukwe vowed to make the identified individuals spreading the rumours and baseless accusations a scapegoat so that others can learn to respect boundaries.
He wrote, “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.
“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.”
