Junior Pope Not My Boyfriend, Actress Ruby Ojiakor Clears The Air

Actress Ruby Ojiakor has finally spoken out on she had an extramarital relationship with the late actor Junior Pope.

After Junior Pope’s death in a boat accident on set, rumors circulated that Ruby was his girlfriend due to her persistent demands for justice on social media. 

The rumors were further fueled by Junior Pope’s wife, Jennifer, unfollowing Ruby on Instagram after his burial.

In a video message on her Instagram page, Ruby set the record straight, stating that Junior Pope was never her boyfriend and that there was no intimacy between them. 

She described him as a close friend and big brother but not a romantic partner. 

Ruby also denied claims that Junior Pope was the father of her child, Royalty, laughing off the suggestion and asking how people could think that way.

She 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.”
