In 2016, Bloggers and readers were quick to notice that almighty Linda Ikeji, the queen of breaking scandalous news did not even make a post about Miss Anambra lesbian scandal that went viral.  Not even one.  Not a follow-up.  Not even a reference. This trolls held on this fact, concluding she was a lesbian for not putting the news on her blog.

Not to judge but the news of Chidinma was a hit,  why didn’t Linda Ikji Post about it?

To be fair…  Maybe she didn’t get it first hand and didn’t want to be the second as she is known to be the first,  or maybe she has a thing for the LGBT community of Nigeria,  or just maybe, just maybe… she just didn’t want to. After all nor be by force?

If you have been following Nollywood in the past, you will agree with me that no one plays a lesbian role better than Rita Dominic.

Classically recall the scene with Rita Dominic and Bimbo Akintola and the ‘Girls Cot Movie’ , hmmm, while we all admitted it was just good acting, speculations began… Adding fuel to the fact is that she is in her 40’s and still single

In 2015 it was speculated she was involved with a presenter Michelle Dede especially after posting a photo of them kissing and getting fuzzy and hanging out. Rita even tried to push the rumors away by posing with an engagement ring and saying she was just friends with Dede but some Nigerians still believe she as a skeleton in her cupboard

Nothing but rumors

Well, that is all for this list.

Whether or not the above celebrities are homosexual is a topic that has been boiling for quite some time and these rumors about them won’t be dying anytime soon.
