Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has responded to criticism regarding his role in Omoni Oboli’s latest movie “Love in Every World”.
Arukwe portrays Odogwu Obiora, a wealthy Igbo man who generously spends on his partner Chioma played by BamBam. However, he has faced backlash for allegedly making Igbo men look like ‘simps’
While the film has received praise especially from women as a great representation of how men should care for their partners, some male viewers have argued that it exaggerates men’s financial responsibilities in relationships.
A user on X, Himp2million, commented,
“Anambra men are not simps. Your movie is liked only by ladies who have always had the illusion of an odogwu that’ll spend his last dime on them.”
Responding to the X user, Arukwe explained that taking care of one’s partner and spending money on them doesn’t make a simp but responsible man.
He wrote, “Taking care of your woman and spending money on her doesn’t make you a simp. It only makes you a responsible man.
“How else do you show love to your partner if you can’t take care of their needs from the abundance of your wealth?”
This is not the first time Uzor Arukwe will be facing backlash for allegedly overlaying his role in a movie.
In 2023, he was accused of exaggerating his Igbo accent in Funke Akindele’s blockbuster, ‘A Tribe Called Judah.’
