We bet most ladies are more interested in finding out whether Francis Egwuatu is single, while others are mostly just concerned with whether he’s gay or not.
Word on the street is that Mr Universe Nigeria is gay, and even though he has had a couple of female dates, people still assume it’s a ‘fakelationship’
Egwuata, however, claims he’s not gay and never will be.
This what he has to say concerning the allegation:
“I am not gay, and it is very annoying when people make such comments. There was this girl that added me on twitter. She was like; ‘Tell me the truth, are you gay?’ It was so annoying. Some people think that for you to win the pageant you must be gay and men must sleep with you and all, but that’s not true. I just wish I could do a story and the heading will just be ‘I am not gay’. People have concluded in their mind that we are gays. Even when I was profiled on Linda Ikeji’s blog, there were comments like, gay alert; the guy is gay and all that. People feel if you are a male pageant contestant, the only hard work you need to do is to sleep in the room. That’s a negative thought, but I believe a person with a positive thought won’t think like that. For me, you just have to be positive; you just have to believe in yourself. I have gone for pageants that I lost (Mr. Tourism Nigeria), but that didn’t stop me from going for more.
Well, you gotta admit its kinda frustrating being labelled or perceived in a certain way.
