Juma Jux said six weddings were not enough. The Tanzanian singer married Priscilla Ojo, daughter of Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo, in a run of ceremonies across two countries in 2025 that fans followed under one hashtag: #JP2025.
A missed flight in Rwanda
Jux, the R&B and Bongo Flava singer born Juma Mkambala, has said he met Priscilla on a work trip to Rwanda in 2024, after missing a flight, and started talking to her through her friend Chioma Ikokwu. By June 2024 she was appearing in his videos, and in July she posted a photo of him captioned “Mine”.
In August he flew to Lagos to meet her mother. In September he released “Ololufe Mi”, featuring Diamond Platnumz, a love song dedicated to Priscilla that borrowed its title from Yoruba.
Dar es Salaam, then Lagos
The couple’s Nikkah, the Islamic wedding, took place in Dar es Salaam in February 2025. Priscilla took the name Hadiza and her husband’s family name, Mkambala. Days later Jux proposed again, in Lagos.
On 17 April 2025 they held their Yoruba traditional wedding and white wedding in Lagos under #JP2025, with olive and gold as the colours and much of Nollywood in attendance. Priscilla’s father walked her down the aisle, and a clip of Jux tearing up as she approached spread across East and West Africa. The final leg, a reception in Tanzania, was held on 28 May.
A family across two countries
Their son, Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala, was born in Canada on 24 August 2025, making Iyabo Ojo a grandmother. WePostWeddings covered #JP2025 at the time, linked below.
