Desmond Elliot, a Nollywood actor and politician, has denied the recent social media rumors suggesting he is gay.
The controversy emerged after a blog post claimed that several well-known Nigerian figures, including actors and reality TV stars, were gay. This list sparked a surge of online reactions.
In an interview with TVC, Elliot rejected the allegation as groundless and stressed that he is more focused on important matters than unfounded claims.
He said, “Why should I address allegations made against me when they don’t affect my life in any way?”
Secondly, it’s just an opinion being formed. I don’t feel the need to declare whether it’s true or false; as long as I’m having a positive impact on people, that’s what matters to me.
You are free to identify as you choose, provided it complies with the law. Others may not always accept your identity, but it’s important for you to be true to yourself.

“If some people choose to seek enjoyment through publicity, that’s their decision—I really don’t mind. Just be yourself and have a good time, but make sure it’s within the law and respectful of your neighbors.”
