ACTRESS Ruby Ojiakor has finally addressed rumours that late actor Junior Pope was in an extramarital relationship with her.

Rumours had emerged that Ruby was Junior Popeโ€™s girlfriend after she relentlessly used her platform to demand justice for the actor who died in a boat accident while on set.

The late actorโ€™s wife, Jennifer further fueled the rumours after unfollowing Ruby on Instagram shortly after her husbandโ€™s burial.

Addressing the rumours in a video message shared via her Instagram page, Ruby insisted that Junior Pope was never her boyfriend.

She also debunked claims that the late actor isnโ€™t the father of her child, Royalty.

โ€œJunior Pope was never my boyfriend. Thereโ€™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,โ€ she said.

โ€œI also see a lot of posts, some persons will just screenshot and send to me and say, โ€˜Look at what theyโ€™re saying, they said he [Junior Pope] is Royaltyโ€™s father.โ€™ I just looked at it and I laughed. How can people reason this way? Please and please, Junior Pope is not Royaltyโ€™s father. Heโ€™s not my daughterโ€™s father. I just want to clarify this.โ€
