What could make another woman wear a dress that has the groom’s photo attached to her breast to their wedding? Papaya Ex, an Instagram influencer gives reasons
Popular Instagram influencer, Abike Arab Money aka Papaya Ex has explained why she wore a dress with Iyabo Ojo’s daughter’s husband’s photo on her breast to their wedding.
This is coming after she was dragged online by fans and followers of the actress and her daughter, Priscilla Ojo.
The backlash that trailed her outfit to the traditional wedding of Priscilla Ojo and Tanzanian singer, Juma Jux was huge.
The glamorous event, tagged #JP2025, was held on Thursday at The Five Palm, Oniru in Eti-Osa, Lekki, Lagos.
Papaya caused a stir online after showing up in a haute couture dress that featured printed images of the couple.
While Priscilla’s photo was placed around her hip, Juma Jux’s image appeared prominently on her breast — a design choice that sparked mixed reactions from social media users.
During the event, Priscilla jokingly called out Papaya over the placement of her husband’s photo.
“You put my husband for chest,” she said.
Papaya, laughing, responded, “I am sorry baby, I love you,” adding that her intentions were pure.
In a recent interview with content creator Egungun of Lagos, Papaya Ex explained why she placed the picture on her chest.
She said she didn’t mean any harm and believed the placement was appropriate.
“Nigerians like to sexualise everything,” she said.
“If I had put the picture somewhere else, they would still complain that it’s close to my coochie.”
She added, “When they told me it isn’t supposed to be here, I was like I’m very sorry. I even had to tell the wife, ‘you know I love you, I won’t do something [disrespectful]’ and she said she understands.”
Papaya also revealed that the outfit cost her N4.5 million to make.
