According to him, Africans do not express love through flowers. His remarks did not sit well with many social media users, who criticised him heavily.
Amid the backlash, the Nollywood actor appears to have had a change of heart. His wife took to her Instagram page to share photos of the flowers he bought her, expressing excitement over the gesture.
Referring to him as her “lovely husband,” she happily announced that he had finally gifted her natural flowers.
“Udochukwu, my lovely husband, has finally bought me natural flowers,” she wrote.
Nkubi also accompanied the flowers with a romantic handwritten note, where he compared his wife’s beauty to the bouquet.
“To my adorable wife, you are as beautiful as these flowers,” he wrote.
The sweet gesture has since sparked reactions online, with many praising the actor for embracing the romantic act after the initial controversy.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Nkubi revealed repeated rejection in the job market played a major role in his decision to pursue acting.
The movie star disclosed a recent episode of the One On One podcast, where he appeared alongside his wife.
Nkubi spoke candidly about the stigma he faced as a little person and how it shaped his life and career path.
According to him, he did not fully understand his reality while growing up, even though he knew he was different.
“As a child you barely understand your reality but you knew you were different from every regular person,” he said.
Nkubi explained that the reality of being a little person became clearer after he completed his secondary school education and began searching for work.
“When the reality of being a little person first hit me was when I finished secondary school and I couldn’t secure minor jobs like others,” he stated.
He said he attended several interviews but was repeatedly turned down, a situation he believes was largely due to his physique.
The constant rejection eventually pushed him to consider other options, leading him to act, a decision that would later bring him fame and success in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Nkubi also opened up about the challenges his family now faces, revealing that his daughter has started experiencing similar stigmatisation. He said internet trolls often make hurtful comments about her because of her size.
Despite the negativity, Nkubi noted that he and his wife were aware of the possibility of having a child with dwarfism and had prepared themselves emotionally before starting a family.
His wife admitted that even with their preparation, the online bullying still hurts.
