Influencer Papaya Ex recently stirred controversy after she attended Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux's traditional wedding in a dress that featured a photo of Juma Jux prominently displayed on her chest.
In a recent interview with content creator Egungun, she addressed the public's reaction to her outfit.
Papaya Ex explained,
“I feel like Nigerians are too somehow. They sexualise everything. If I had put the picture here, they'll complain that it is close to my co**chie.”
She added,
“When they told me about it, I felt somehow that I had to tell the wife that I am sorry and you know I would not do anything to hurt you. And she was like oh, I understand.”
In addition to discussing her dress, which she revealed cost N4.5 million naira, she shared insights into her lifestyle, noting her current residence in Dubai where her monthly rent is N12 million.
