On the other hand, Uzor expressed excitement about the controversy and argued that such is linked to fame.

He further revealed that he has a lot of gay friends whom he loves and is comfortable to have them around.

Uzor stressed that he would not accept being misidentified simply because certain individuals are like that.

He did, however, state that if he were gay, he would have been "one of the hottest around." According to Love In Every Word's star, it was best to let God judge.

In a chat with media personality Emmanuel Alaba, he expressed concern that Uzor Arukwe may have unintentionally stirred controversy with his stance or closeness to the LGBTQ+ community.

He said:

“Uzor Arukwe just put his whole hardwork, struggles, and sacrifices in the industry in a tight place, that interview put him in, it might be cool to have a lot of Gay friends, but "loving them to death" is suspicious. Though avoiding the question might also be a bad idea. Uzor is one of the professional actors, the industry is yet to explore.”
