Nollywood actor-turned-politician Desmond Elliot has finally come out to debunk viral gay allegations.
According to reports, Elliot was recently listed as one of the leading Nigerian celebrities who are suspected of engaging in homosexual activity.
Netizens fiercely reacted to the list, which included the names of numerous well-known national figures.
However, speaking in a viral video of his interview with TVC, he described the accusation as baseless, stating that he had more important issues to focus on than responding to malicious gossip.
He said:
“Why would I respond to allegations made against me when it did not reduce or increase my life? Secondly, it is an opinion that is being conceived. And I don’t think it is necessary for me to come out and say it’s true or not true; as long as I’m affecting people positively, I’m good. So let me state it very clearly that I am straight.”
