Priscilla Ojo Fires Back at Tanzanians Over Juma Jux Drama
Nigerian influencer Priscilla Ojo has clapped back at a wave of Tanzanian social media users demanding she "free" her husband, singer Juma Jux, after fans expressed concern over his noticeably slimmer appearance. The backlash began after Jux attended the widely publicized wedding of Nigerian influencers Jarvis and Peller, where fans noticed he looked significantly slimmer than they remembered.
Tanzanian Fans Call for Jux's "Freedom"
Tanzanian fans have been asking Priscilla Ojo to "free" her husband Juma Jux after noticing his slimmer appearance. The #FreeJumaJux campaign has been gaining momentum on social media, with many linking his weight loss directly to his marriage to Priscilla. One commenter wrote, "Free Jux. He's a big artist, and seeing him lose so much weight so suddenly is really worrying and painful for his fans."
Priscilla's Playful Response
Rather than stay silent, Priscilla engaged directly with critics in her comment section, dismissing the concerns with humour. Responding to the pile-on, she quipped that "second belle don enter," a cheeky Nigerian expression suggesting the changes people were seeing were simply signs of a happy, well-fed marriage rather than neglect.
Jux and His Sister Defend His Weight Loss
Jux himself has previously addressed questions about his slimmer look, saying he is happy with his current physique. His sister, Fatima, has also spoken up in his defence, backing both his transformation and his relationship with Priscilla. Tanzanian music fans have been divided on the issue, with some defending the couple and others expressing concern for Jux's health.
A Marriage Under Scrutiny
Priscilla, daughter of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, and Jux, a Tanzanian Bongo Flava star, married in 2025, and their relationship has continued to draw significant attention across both Nigeria and Tanzania. The couple's relationship has been the subject of much speculation, with some fans scrutinizing their marriage over Jux's weight loss. Despite the backlash, Priscilla has remained unapologetic about her husband's new look, insisting that he is doing just fine.
The Drama Continues
Screenshots of the exchange between Priscilla and her critics have been going viral on social media, splitting reactions online. While some found the back-and-forth funny, others defended the couple and pushed back on critics for what they described as unnecessary policing of Jux's physical appearance. The drama is far from over, with many fans eagerly waiting to see how the situation will unfold.
