Nollywood actor-turned-politician Desmond Elliot has finally addressed rumors surrounding his sexual orientation.

In a recent TVC interview, Elliot dismissed allegations of being gay, calling them baseless and malicious.

"Why respond to unfounded accusations?" Elliot asked. "It doesn't impact my life. It's just an opinion."

Elliot emphasized his focus on positively impacting others, rather than engaging with gossip.

"Let me be clear: I am straight," he stated.

The allegations surfaced after Elliot was named on a list of Nigerian celebrities accused of homosexuality, sparking widespread backlash.

Elliot's denial puts the rumor to rest, reaffirming his commitment to his personal and professional life.
