Last year, Toyin Abraham penned an appreciation post to Papaya Ex and her sister over their hospitality. The movie star revealed how she sent a message to Papaya Ex at 2 a.m. begging to have access to her home for a shoot, and the skitmaker didn’t turn her star down and made Toyin and her crew feel comfortable at her home for over 24 hours.
Since gaining recognition in the entertainment industry, many have wondered about Papaya Ex’s source of income and lifestyle.
The skit maker had been accused of having a sugar daddy, which she debunked. She said that she has never had a sugar daddy funding her luxurious lifestyle and that she prefers young and vibrant men.
She had also addressed pregnancy speculation and said she would wait for the right man before becoming a mom.
In 2022, Papaya had refuted claims of dating a married man with kids who was allegedly roped in fraud. The skitmaker denied being sponsored by any man as she clarified that the man was only her friend.
