Instagram blogger Cutie Juls has alleged that individuals connected to the family of late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo attempted to involve the platform in publishing damaging allegations against the actor's wife and close allies. The blogger stated that after conducting its own investigation, the platform found no credible evidence to support the claims and refused to publish them.
Blogger's Allegations
In a lengthy statement shared on Instagram, Cutie Juls claimed that multiple people linked to Alexx Ekubo's family reached out with requests to publish serious allegations against some of the actor's closest associates, including his wife and people he publicly regarded as family during his lifetime. According to the blogger, there were several conversations and repeated attempts to convince the platform to share the claims.
However, after conducting its own investigation, the platform said it found no sufficient basis to present the allegations as facts. "We chose to investigate before publishing anything," the statement read. The blogger added that publishing unverified accusations would only deepen divisions within an already grieving family and potentially damage the reputations of innocent people.
Commitment to Responsible Reporting
Cutie Juls stressed that the late actor was no longer alive to defend himself or clarify issues surrounding the allegations. The blogger said it would not allow its platform to become a tool for settling personal disputes or rewriting the legacy of someone who could no longer tell his own side of the story. It also disclosed that records of the conversations with those who approached the platform had been preserved. According to the blogger, the platform remains committed to responsible reporting rather than sensational stories.
Family Questions Linger
The latest revelation follows an earlier statement issued by Alexx Ekubo's cousin, David Ekubo, who claimed the actor's family remained dissatisfied with the information surrounding his death. David alleged that there were unresolved issues concerning the circumstances of the actor's passing and decisions taken during his burial. He also claimed that some members of the family had not been adequately informed about important developments relating to the late actor before his funeral.
Nollywood Stars React
The blogger's post quickly caught the attention of several Nollywood stars. Actresses Ini Edo and Bimbo Ademoye publicly expressed support for Cutie Juls, commending the platform for refusing to publish allegations it could not independently verify. As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official response from Alexx Ekubo's management or his immediate family regarding the blogger's latest claims.
