Popular socialite, Abike Halima Raheem better known as Papaya Ex, has recently addressed and dispelled persistent rumors circulating about her supposed pregnancy. The rumors were initially sparked by a controversial influencer named Funmi, who boldly claimed that Papaya Ex was two weeks pregnant with the child of an unidentified lover from Dubai.
Funmi had taken to social media to taunt Papaya Ex, suggesting that her absence from posting recent photos was a deliberate attempt to conceal her growing baby bump. In addition to this, Funmi also alleged that the Dubai lover had abandoned Papaya after learning of her pregnancy, further adding fuel to the gossip fire.
However, Papaya Ex swiftly responded to these rumors, aiming to set the record straight. In a video clip that has since been widely shared online, she can be seen confidently wearing a crop top that clearly displays her midriff. With conviction in her voice, she emphatically stated that she was not pregnant and that the rumors about her having a pregnancy tummy were unfounded and inaccurate.
The video was initially shared by a show promoter named Bankuli, further corroborating Papaya Ex's denial of the pregnancy rumors. In this clip, she wanted to put an end to the speculation and make it clear that she is not expecting a child as many had been led to believe.
The incident serves as a reminder of how quickly and widely rumors can spread on social media platforms and the importance of individuals taking control of their narratives to address and correct misinformation.
