However, the movie star took to her Instagram page to address the rumours in a video message shared, stating that Junior Pope was never her boyfriend.
She also debunked claims that the late actor isn’t the father of her child, Royalty.
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.”
