On Friday, April 26, the family of the deceased actor released his obituary poster in which he was described as a son, father, Uncle and superstar.
Social media users took to Stanley's page after he shared the poster, to ask why the title ‘Husband’ wasn't used to describe Jnr Pope as he was a married man before his death.
Responding, Stanley said he has some information about Jnr Pope but will not share it and instead directed people to go and ask the late actor's brother about the Obituary.
