See What Stanley Said About Alexx Ekubo’s Whereabouts

Nollywood actor Stanley Ontop has stepped forward to address mounting public concern over the whereabouts and wellbeing of his friend and colleague, Alexx Ekubo, who has been noticeably absent from both social media and the screen since late 2024.

Fans began to worry after Ekubo’s last public post on Instagram, dated December 30, 2024, and his subsequent silence led to growing speculation, with some alleging he might be seriously ill.

However, in a reassuring update shared on Tuesday, Stanley Ontop refuted the claims, confirming that Ekubo is in good health and simply took a break to protect his mental well-being.

“If you all remember in February, I posted his picture and was asking about him. @alexxekubo is very fine and he’s doing great,” Stanley wrote on Instagram.

“He just took time away from social media and work. The media was too toxic on him, so he decided to give you guys some space. Alex is good, 100.”

Stanley further explained that Ekubo’s absence had nothing to do with illness but rather a need to unplug from the online space due to what he described as “overwhelming negativity.”

“Alex is coming back to this media strong and happy. Alex is not sick as being circulated by some mischievous elements,” he added. “Depression is real.”

The actor’s comment highlights an ongoing conversation within the entertainment industry , the mental health toll of public life and the need for intentional breaks. While fans have expressed relief at the update, many continue to send supportive messages, urging Ekubo to take his time and return only when he feels ready.
