Nollywood star Stanley Ontop has reassured fans not to be concerned about actor Alexx Ekubo, who has been absent from social media.
Speculations have emerged about Ekubo facing serious health challenges after an extended silence online.
His last social media update was shared on December 30, 2024.
The emerging rumors led to anxiety among his supporters and fellow actors.
In a recent Instagram update, Stanley Ontop addressed Ekubo’s situation, labeling the claims as untrue and affirming that Ekubo is healthy and thriving.
Stanley explained that Ekubo stepped away from social media due to the “toxic environment it created for him.”
He emphasized that taking a break was necessary for Ekubo to restore his mental well-being, adding, “depression is a very real issue.”
In his post, Stanley mentioned “If you recall, I shared his photo in February inquiring about his well-being. @alexxekubo is perfectly fine and progressing positively.”
“He opted to distance himself from social media and work to recover. The media atmosphere was too harsh for him, so he chose to take a step back. Alex is absolutely okay.”
“Alex will return to social media revitalized and joyful. He is not ill as some have misleadingly claimed. Alex, we look forward to your comeback. Remember, depression is a serious matter.”
