Black Panther actor Shumba Patrick Mutukwa has been getting quite the attention since images and videos of him have surfaced showing him giving more than the Wakanda Forever symbol. It appears the actor who played a warrior and served as a dialect coach has a past as a gay porn star. After traveling to his native Zambia, Mutukwa has become the disappointment of his people, according to Lusaka Times.
The actor, who seems to be regretting some of his “creative” projects has issued a statement that clues you into just how sorry he is. According to his publicist Larissa Long from BlueRed Communications, Mutukwa says he has ‘learned’ from the past and “Although he recognizes his errored decision he does own up to the immature behavior in his past.”
Here is the full statement:
Recently there was an unsavory video released of Shumba Mutukwa to the Zambian public from his 20s. He was a young man that made a choice not all may agree with however, it does not change who Mr. Mutukwa is as a man, philanthropist, or actor. Mr. Mutukwa has grown and learned from his past as we all do. Although he recognizes his errored decision he does own up to the immature behavior in his past.
There is nothing more he can do but continue to use his celebrity to better the country of Zambia. He temporarily closed down his social media accounts only because he knows there are children engaged with him that he knows should not witness the video. He asks that people refrain from sharing the video on social media to look out for young eyes.
Again, he was a young man himself and is not the same youthful person he was. His life is dedicated to bettering others and what he did in his past has nothing to do with what he’s accomplished and will continue to accomplish. He has strong pride in Zambia and works hard to make the country and its citizens proud.
That is his path and he has proven well beyond a doubt that who he is today and will be in the future. The man you’ve grown to love, not the youth that makes immature decisions. For any questions or statements on this matter please contact Mr. Mutuka’s publicist Larissa Long.
“Thank you for understanding we all make mistakes but know I will continue to bring pride to Zambia. My growth continues in everything I do from errors to successes.” -Shumba
Soon after, Mutukwa, who has vouched to abstain from social media due to his large youth following, posted the following poem:
And then a follow-up video:

Kindly please stop passing
Kindly please stop passing off porn and porn "news" as "news" that gay men are interested in. Again, you denigrate us all.
Kindly stop denigrating those
Kindly stop denigrating those who make adult films, and implying that the work they do is somehow shameful and should be censored from the articles that appear on the Instinct site. The job of making professional porn is just as worthy as any other work, and your wish to keep it hidden away in a closet is the real error in judgment here.
