However, addressing the rumours on her IG page recently, Ruby insisted that Junior Pope was never her boyfriend.
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.”
She also debunked claims that the late actor isn’t the father of her child, Royalty.
“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.” Ruby added.
