Nollywood actor, Stanley Ontop, has set the record straight on the health status of his colleague, Alex Ekubo.
TheNewGuru reports that Ekubo has been conspicuously absent over the past few months. He has not been active on social media, and he has not been seen among his peers.
This publication’s checks on the 39-year-old actor’s social media handles, particularly Instagram, indicate that he has not been active on the platform since December 2024.
However, following the recent outcry from fans of the actor, the light-skinned, talented actor was spotted for the first time in a recent video.
In the new video, Alex Ekubo was seen with some children. However, his noticeably slimmer and pale physique has left many concerned about his health.
Giving an update about Ekubo, Stanley Ontop via Instagram stated that Ekubo is in good health and doing great for himself.
Speaking on why he left social media, Stanley revealed that the “media was too toxic on him”.
While stating that Ekubo took time from social media and work to regain his sanity, Stanley noted that “depression is real”.
The thespian wrote, “If you all remember in February I posted his picture and was asking about him. @alexxekubo is very fine and he’s doing great.
“He just took time 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
Alex is coming back to this media strong and happy. Alex is not sick as being circulated by some mischievous elements. Alex we await your return. Depression is real”, he said.
