Nollywood actress Ruby Ojiakor has clarified rumors regarding an alleged affair with the late actor Junior Pope.

These rumors surfaced due to her fervent calls for justice following Junior Pope's untimely death in a boat accident during a film shoot.

The speculation intensified when Junior Pope’s wife, Jennifer, unfollowed Ruby on Instagram after his funeral.

In a video message on her Instagram page, Ruby firmly denied any romantic involvement with Junior Pope, asserting that he was never her boyfriend. She also dispelled claims that he was the father of her child, Royalty, thus ending 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.”
