Priscilla Ojo Claps Back at Tanzanians Telling Her to Leave Juma Jux Over His Weight Loss

Nigerian actress and entrepreneur Priscilla Ojo Mkambala has fired back at Tanzanian social media users who urged her to “free” her husband, singer Juma Jux, after fans noticed that the musician appeared slimmer. The comments reportedly triggered a playful online exchange, with some Tanzanian fans joking that Priscilla should leave their favourite star alone.

The latest episode has added another entertaining chapter to the couple’s highly publicised marriage. Rather than panic over the comments, Priscilla responded with humour, turning what could have become a serious social-media argument into another viral moment. In the Nigerian internet courtroom, the prosecution came prepared with screenshots, but the defence apparently arrived with jokes.

Tanzanian Fans Launch “Free Juma Jux” Campaign

The controversy reportedly began after Juma Jux appeared noticeably slimmer at the wedding of Nigerian content creators Jarvis and Peller. Some Tanzanian fans expressed concern about the singer’s changing appearance and linked his weight loss to his marriage to Priscilla, with some calling for him to be “freed.”

The situation became even more amusing when some commenters compared Jux’s current appearance with his former relationship and questioned whether Priscilla was responsible for the change. Priscilla responded to the criticism playfully, telling one commenter that “your brother loves it here,” while another reply appeared to joke about a possible second pregnancy.

Juma Jux Has Previously Defended His Weight Loss

The online concern is not entirely new. Juma Jux has previously indicated that his slimmer appearance was intentional, while his sister, Fatima Jux, also defended him and Priscilla, stressing that his body and fitness choices were his own. She reportedly described his preferred look as “Slim Fit” and urged critics to leave Priscilla alone.

Priscilla and Jux have also faced other waves of public speculation since their relationship became serious. The couple married in a civil ceremony in Tanzania in February 2025 before their traditional and white wedding celebrations in Lagos in April. They welcomed their first child, a son, in August 2025.

Priscilla Ojo’s latest exchange with Tanzanian fans shows that the couple’s marriage continues to attract attention on both sides of the African continent. While Juma Jux’s weight loss has generated plenty of online theories, available reports indicate that he has defended the change as intentional, meaning social media detectives may have to retire their food-and-marriage investigation for now.
