Alexx died on May 11 at Evercare Hospital in Lagos as a result of complications arising from advanced metastatic kidney cancer.
Why Alexx Ekubo blocked man
Narrating what led to his blocking, Honour, in a Facebook post on May 16, explained that it all started after he went to Alexx's Instagram comment section to criticise him for always flaunting his then wife-to-be, which he felt was unwise and could lead to the crash of the impending union.
Quite unexpectedly, Honour discovered the actor blocked him after his unsolicited advice.
"Yes,Alex Ekubo BL0CKED me on Instagram around January,2021 barely 5yrs ago when I advised him to stop flaunting his then fiancee up & down 0nline to avoid crashingg his planned marriage,wedding. The show-off was aggress!vely too frequent & unw!se as at the time probably to pepeli m0ckers or so which I saw as unw!se that made me to dr0p the advise under his c0mment secti0n on I.G l. He found it 0ffensive,like he saw me as hat£r & bl0cked the heII outta me on IG..." Honour wrote on Facebook.
Despite being blocked, Honour revealed that on March 5, he had voiced his concern about Alexx's disappearance from social media.
According to Honour, he felt something unusual about Alexx, and this informed his public expression of concern about his whereabouts, only to learn days later that the actor had died.
"...Despite this aggress!ve bl0cking,I still cried out,asking his where abt on March-5th,2026 when I felt something unusual around me regarding him after he went silent totally frm intern£t,not seen again in movies,nothing abt him was heard,seen for yrs only to read abt his d£ath on 11th May, same 2026 being 2-months after that my outcry p0st which is so unw!se, more unw!se &unw!sely most unw!se.
"My advice are frm indepth w!sdom based on things seen ahead,prior. Jst y'all know.
"R.I.P ALEX EKUBO. D£ath is really w!cked," he wrote.
