While one couple officially tied the knot at the grand wedding ceremony of Yhemolee (real name Idowu Adeyemi) and his longtime girlfriend Oyindamola Thayour in Lekki, another duo set social media abuzz with dating rumors.
We’re talking about Papaya’s ex (real name Raheem Abike Halimah) and Sydney Talker (real name Sydney Egere).
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t the actual wedding that sparked the gossip, but a pre-wedding photoshoot. Papaya shared several photos and videos—across 20 slides on Instagram—alongside herself and Sydney in matching green and beige outfits.
Their chemistry was undeniable, and their playful, flirty interactions in the photos and videos had fans raising eyebrows.
While they initially claimed to be acting as a “couple” for Yhemolee’s wedding, many suspect it’s more than just a playful performance. Worse, Carter Efe also confirmed the suspicion during a live session—which if it needs reminding, counts as sufficient evidence in the court of public opinion.
Thus, despite Papaya’s insistence that “it’s just friendship,” we’re not quite convinced. Sorry, not buying it.
