Nollywood actor Stanley Ontop has dispelled rumours surrounding the health of his colleague, Alex Ekubo, following the actor’s prolonged absence from social media.
Ekubo, whose last social media activity dates back to December 30, 2024, has been the subject of growing speculation, with some suggesting he might be battling a serious illness.
Addressing these concerns, Stanley Ontop took to Instagram on Tuesday to clarify the situation.
In his post, Stanley firmly denied the health-related rumors, asserting that Ekubo is in good condition and “doing great” despite his silence online.
“If you all remember in February I posted his picture and was asking about him. @alexxekubo is very fine and he’s doing great,” he wrote.
Stanley further explained that the actor voluntarily stepped away from the spotlight due to the negativity he was experiencing online. “He just took time from social media and work. The media was too toxic on him so he decided to give you guys some space,” he said.
Highlighting the emotional toll of public scrutiny, Stanley emphasized the seriousness of mental health. “Alex is good 100. Alex is coming back to this media strong and happy. Alex is not sick as being circulated by some mischievous elements. Alex we await your return. Depression is real,” he concluded.
The update brings clarity and reassurance to fans concerned about Ekubo’s well-being and reinforces the growing conversation around mental health awareness in the entertainment industry.
