Veteran Nollywood icon Chiwetalu Agu has come out swinging against nasty false rumors claiming he’s passed away. In a recent video he posted on Instagram, the actor slammed the story as total fiction, urging fans and family to ignore anything saying otherwise.
Dressed in defiance, Agu declared, “Chief Chiwetalu Agu…is not going to die anytime soon. I will be the one to bury my enemies.” He went on, “Na who dig pit go fall inside. Na who dig grave go fall inside. I am yet to carry my grandchildren, and I must do so in good health when my children are ready.”Nothing like keeping one’s swag and family plans intact.
He also noted that if the blogger behind the hoax had done something serious, he might take legal action for defamation and economic loss—but jokingly said the culprit is “still struggling with likes.”
Agu expressed disappointment that in 2025, such rumors still spread like wildfire before anyone checks facts. “Fans and families, disregard any rumours and rebuke anyone spreading such diabolical news about me,” he said.
