Jamil, who turned 10 years old on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, was celebrated by his mum, who showered him with gifts.

Among the gifts Jamil received from his mum was a high-end smartphone, an iPhone.

She made it clear to her son that he is not allowed to access social media, adding that he could use it for his Roblox and to FaceTime her.
