Nigerian influencer Papaya Ex stepped onto the scene at the high-profile #JP2025 wedding, rocking a dress that had everyone talking.
Why? Because boldly printed on it was none other than the groom himself—Tanzanian heartthrob Juma Jux.
So, when fashion meets flair and sentimentality, expect headlines—and that’s exactly what happened.
The internet did what it does best—speculated, scrutinized, and spun wild theories. Was it a publicity stunt? A secret crush? Shade? Or just pure Papaya drama?
But Papaya Ex, never one to shy away from the spotlight, set the record straight in her signature unapologetic style. Taking to social media, she explained that the move wasn’t about stirring controversy but rather paying homage to a love story that moved her deeply.
“I wanted to honor Priscilla and Juma’s beautiful journey in a unique way,” she wrote. “Their love is inspiring, and this was my own memorable gesture to celebrate their special day.”
The unconventional tribute became one of the most talked-about moments at what was already the wedding of the year. #JP2025, the luxurious union between Priscilla Ojo—daughter of Nollywood icon Iyabo Ojo—and Juma Jux, was a star-studded spectacle. From Juma’s heart-melting second proposal (yes, he upgraded her ring!) to a guest list bursting with A-listers, the entire celebration played out like a romantic epic on social media timelines.
Papaya’s gesture, while unorthodox, has since sparked a wave of commentary on self-expression at Nigerian weddings—some calling it bold and creative, others side-eyeing it as too extra. But love it or hate it, one thing’s for sure: she made her mark.
And as for the couple? Priscilla and Juma didn’t seem fazed. With their radiant smiles and undeniable chemistry lighting up the event, Papaya’s fashion statement simply became another unique thread in the vibrant fabric of their unforgettable day.
