Ruby Ojiakor denies alleged relationship with late Junior Pope
Nollywood actress Ruby Ojiakor has clarified rumors of an extramarital affair with the late actor Junior Pope.
Speculation arose due to her fervent calls for justice following his tragic death in a boat accident on set. The rumors gained momentum when Junior Pope’s wife, Jennifer, unfollowed Ruby on Instagram after his burial.
In a video message on her Instagram page, Ruby firmly denied the rumors, stating that Junior Pope was never her boyfriend and is not the father of her child, Royalty, thus dispelling the speculation about their relationship.
Ruby Ojiakor said:
“Junior Pope was never my boyfriend. There’s no intimacy between myself and Junior Pope. We never dated. Junior Pope was never my intimate friend. He was just my friend. He was more than a friend. He was my big brother
I also see a lot of posts, some persons will just screenshot and send to me and say, ‘Look at what they’re saying, they said he [Junior Pope] is Royalty’s father.’ I just looked at it and I laughed. How can people reason this way? Please and please, Junior Pope is not Royalty’s father. He’s not my daughter’s father. I just want to clarify this.”
