Nigerian actor Uche Maduagwu has made a dramatic u-turn on his sexuality.
The movie star took to his Instagram page on Monday, April 9, 2021, where he renounced homosexuality.
"Dear fans, I am not gay. I lost movie roles, endorsements and my girlfriend fighting for LGBT rights in Nigeria," he wrote.
"Omg, even my girlfriend left me despite knowing I was fighting for LGBT right in Naija but I no regret using my celebrity status to fighting for this beautiful community."
It would be recalled that in Jan, the actor revealed that he was gay.
"Appreciate others and #share only love we need to respect peoples choices not to judge them so lets practice Jesus kind of love," he wrote.
