In a statement shared through her Instagram story, Nnadi reassured fans that her colleague is in good health and high spirits. She addressed the growing curiosity about Ekubo’s whereabouts, urging fans to respect his need for privacy.
“Stop looking for Alex Ekubo. He’s healthy, well and fine. Everyone must not be on social media. Let my friend breathe,” she wrote.
Her message reflects a broader concern about the pressures celebrities face in the age of digital connectivity. Nnadi highlighted that not everyone is required to maintain a constant online presence, emphasizing the importance of stepping back to preserve mental and emotional well-being.
Ekubo, a popular figure in Nollywood, has noticeably taken a step back from both social media and public life in recent months. While this withdrawal has sparked rumors and concerns among fans, those close to him insist there is no cause for alarm.
Another close associate, Stanley Ontop, also weighed in on the matter through a social media post. Echoing Nnadi’s sentiments, he confirmed that Ekubo is doing well and simply chose to retreat from the spotlight due to overwhelming media scrutiny.
“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%,” Stanley wrote. “Alex is coming back to this media strong and happy. Alex is not sick as being circulated by some mischievous elements. Depression is real.”
He further reminded the public that Ekubo had previously spoken about drawing strength from the love and support of his family, hinting that this may have played a role in his decision to step away temporarily.
Together, these messages paint a picture of a man prioritizing his mental health and taking the time he needs to reset—something that many public figures are increasingly doing in response to the growing toll of online life.
As fans await his return, the call from his friends is clear: give him time, give him space, and above all, give him grace.
