Popular Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has responded to critics of his character in the trending movie Love in Every Word, which also stars BamBam.
Since its release, the film has sparked widespread discussions among Nigerians, with many debating the dynamics of Arukwe’s role. Addressing the criticism, Arukwe emphasized that taking care of one’s woman does not equate to being a “simp,” challenging societal stereotypes and encouraging a healthier perspective on relationships.
The movie continues to dominate conversations, resonating deeply with audiences across the country.
The movie Love in Every Word highlights the generosity of a wealthy character, ‘Odogwu Paranran,’ toward his beloved. However, some netizens have criticized the portrayal, suggesting that it depicts Igbo wealthy men as “simps.”
One netizen commented:
“Anambra men are not simps. Your movie is only liked by ladies who fantasize about an ‘Odogwu’ spending his last dime on them.”
In response, Uzor Arukwe defended the character’s actions, stating that spending money on a woman is not a sign of being a simp but rather an expression of love and responsibility.
He wrote:
“Taking care of your woman and spending money on her doesn’t make you a simp. It only makes you a responsible man. How else do you show love to your partner if you can’t take care of their needs from the abundance of your wealth?
