The group disclosed that they approached the late actor two years ago to participate in a cultural movement on social media. They noted that his final response left an impression on them.

According to the group, Alexx could not accept their offer because he was scared of social media while recounting what happened over his marriage saga.

"Two years ago, we met Alexx Ekubo and asked him to join the Igbo Men JPEGs trend.

His response stayed with us: "Admin, nwanne m, I would have loved to, but I'm scared of social media, especially Twitter. You remember what they did to me over my marriage saga." We didn't ask again.

Kachifo Alexx Ekubo 🙏🖤"

Social media drags Alexx over marriage saga

Social media dragged Alex Ekubo hard in 2021 after Fancy Acholonu publicly called off their wedding months before the date.

She posted she ended the engagement/relationship “to live in her truth.” That phrase, along with unfollows sparked wild speculation, especially rumours about his sexuality.

He got trolled, memed, and heavily discussed online. Alex stayed mostly silent while the frenzy played out, which is why he later said he was scared of social media/Twitter over the marriage saga.

Fancy later gave interviews accusing him of narcissism, cheating and gaslighting, adding more fuel.
