Nollywood actor Segun Padonou Aina, widely known as Segun Arinze, has shared his views on the ongoing allegations of homosexuality in Nollywood.
The 59-year-old Badagry native confirmed in a recent interview with Arise TV that he is not a member of any conspiratorial cult that engages in homosexual behaviour in the Nigerian film business.
In the words of the veteran film star,
I do not bend over, so I cannot react to it. Well if they do bend over, they should keep bending. That is their problem.
Segun, who is also a voice over artist, acting coach, and singer, however, expressed his apathy towards the speculations that some of his industry colleagues may be indulging in the act.
He said,
They are adults and they have a right to do whatever they want to do. It is none of my business
Segun Arinze further went on to harp on the fact that he prefers to live a straightforward and professional life, stressing that he avoids unnecessary controversies.
He continued,
I am not going to concern myself with that. I do not like those lash backs, I like living my life straightforward, doing my business and being a professional that I am.
Segun Arinze’s acting career spans nearly three decades in which he has starred in over a hundred films.
The actor studied Dramatic Art at the then University of Ife, now Obafemi Awolowo University.
In a 2017 interview, he said that his late father had wished for him to pursue a career in law.
