Desmond Elliot, the acclaimed veteran Nigerian actor turned politician, has finally broken his silence on the gay rumors that have been swirling around his name.

Few weeks ago, infamous gossip blog, Gistlover, dropped a bombshell, releasing a list of prominent Nigerian celebrities and top politicians alleged to be secretly involved in homosexuality.

The blog didn’t just throw names out; it claimed to have damning backstories and witnesses ready to back up the accusations, which sent social media into a frenzy.

The list, which included some of the biggest names in the country, shocked fans and sparked a fierce backlash.

Some of the mentioned male celebrities weren’t having it and quickly launched a campaign to defend their names, angrily attacked Gistlover for dragging their reputations through the mud. But among all the uproar and fiery responses, Desmond Elliot stood out—quiet, composed, and utterly unbothered by the drama..

However, during a recent no-holds-barred conversation with TVC News at an outdoor event, the actor-turned-politician was finally pressed on the issue. When asked why he didn’t come out sooner to clear the air, Desmond gave a response that was as cool as it was calculating.

He stated, without hesitation, that he saw no reason to dignify such baseless rumors with a response. His words were sharp, declaring unequivocally, “I am not gay,” and adding that he had far more important issues to focus on than responding to malicious gossip.

Desmond passionately called for government intervention, stressed the need to regulate blogs like Gistlover that have turned personal attacks and unfounded rumors into a deadly game.
