When Kiki Iriafen was drafted fourth by Washington Mystics, she made sure everyone knew what she is proud of.  Explaining her ensemble, Iriafen told the media, “So, I worked with a Nigerian designer. Her name is Nneka Alexander, and we custom-made this dress. It took about two months, and it was super important to me to showcase my Nigerian culture by working with her. I also have some Nigerian beads and earrings. I felt like this was the perfect carpet to do so.

Is Kiki Iriafen Single or Dating?

When it comes to athletes’ dating life, if there is no publicly verified information, fans turn to their social media accounts to put the pieces together. However, Iriafen is not very active even there. And whatever is available is mostly an account of her first love- basketball. So, you will not find any cozy pictures, hidden launches, or cryptic captions. All of this makes sense because she isn’t very vocal about her personal life. Some even found it surprising when Iriafen wished her friend and former teammate a sweet message on Instagram.
