Max Obae, the former polycule partner of Paystack co-founder Ezra Olubi, has publicly praised the company after news broke confirming Olubi’s dismissal over allegations of s3xual misconduct.

Reacting to a report announcing Olubi’s termination, Max described the decision as “a sign of a mature company, and a positive act for the start-up industry in Africa.”

Max was previously in a three-way romantic relationship with Ezra and her lesb!an partner, a dynamic the trio openly acknowledged in past social media posts.

In a separate post, Max also revealed he had completed repayment of a $55,000 loan previously owed to Olubi. Sharing a screenshot of a bank confirmation email, he wrote:

“The final transfer of $5k has now been delivered to Ezra, and with this delivery the total $55k loan has now been transferred back to him. That’s that.”

The reactions follow weeks of online uproar after Ezra’s old disturbing tweets resurfaced, prompting Paystack to suspend him and announce an investigation. Olubi later claimed he was fired before the process was concluded and without being given a chance to defend himself.
