Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has denied claims that he impregnated fellow actress Bamike Olawunmi, popularly known as Bambam, and caused issues in her marriage to Teddy A.
The rumours emerged on social media following Arukwe’s collaboration with Bambam in the 2025 YouTube film Love In Every Word, which went viral shortly after its release. Some posts suggested that Bambam’s alleged pregnancy led to marital problems, citing supposed private chats.
Reacting to the controversy, Arukwe condemned the claims as false and revealed that he had already identified one social media account responsible for spreading the rumours.
In a statement, 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.”
Arukwe’s response signals a firm stance against the spread of false information, emphasising the importance of respecting professional and personal boundaries in the entertainment industry.
