Nigerian influencer and socialite, Enioluwa Adeoluwa has caused a stir online over his response to a question about getting advances from men.
It is no longer news that the influencer’s sexuality has been a subject of discussion on social media and in a recent interview with Channels Television, one of the hosts had probed him on if he gets any advances from men.
The socialite, who seemed to have been caught off guard, started beating about the bush as he noted how he is a public figure and as such, gets advances from both gënders.
To further defend himself, he stated that he isn’t the relationship type as he doesn’t do love or is he in a relationship or planning to get into one.
“To be honest, you’re an exemplary person in the world and so people will always reach out to you to learn from you and to talk to you. Of course, people do reach out to me, both gendërs. But I don’t think the way the world looks at it from the perspective of when you are famous, people reach out to you to ask you out. No one is asking me.
I don’t even do love.
Priscilla and I are very good friends, we spend a lot of time together. Hilda Baci and I are also friends and she is in a public relationship.
I am not in a relationship and I don’t plan to”.
As expected, his response got many talking as netizens slammed the interviewer for not being straightforward.

One I Am Philosopher wrote, “Just ask him Shey him be gay? Which one be say men give you attention
One Chef Habanero wrote, “You people need to stop this nonsense. Y’all know he’s gay why capping lol. Allow the boy to breathe
One Amikah wrote, “Asking are you gay in a Nigerian parents way
One Alt Delete Control wrote, “Saying a whole lot of nothing plus why is his voice shaking?
One Picky Nicole wrote, “Lol you can tell that question threw him off”.
Recall that last year, Davido’s aide, Isreal DMW had gone on a homophobic rant against Enioluwa on his Whatsapp stories, accusing him of being gay and had stated that 30BG is not in support of gays.
Warning him to avoid Davido, Isreal alleged that Enioluwa is into rubbish and his supporters would claim that it’s content.
His statement led to a fallout with his boss, Davido who unfollowed him on social media and as a means of damage control, Isreal took to the comment section of a blog to debunk the news.
He also took to his Instagram page to reiterate that the write-up was never from him, as he pointed out how writeups can be purely manufactured by fake accounts.
