Despite his surprise, Arukwe expressed that he views such controversy as an inevitable part of fame in the entertainment industry.
"I have a lot of gay friends, I love them; if being gay was my sexuality, I would own it and I'd be one of the hottest around...but for me let God judge'" he said.
The Love In Every Word star emphasised that while he maintains friendships with individuals in the LGBTQ+ community and feels comfortable around them, he rejects being misidentified. He maintained that if his sexuality were different, he would have been open about it rather than denying it.
Arukwe suggested that judgment on such matters should ultimately be left to God, demonstrating a philosophical stance on the subject while firmly addressing the rumours that have circulated about him.
