Iyabo Ojo shared her excitement on Instagram, congratulating him warmly. She described herself as the “sexiest glamma” while praising Jux for his achievement.

In another video, the actress was seen rejoicing with him after the award ceremony. She showered him with prayers, asking that he continue to win more awards in the future.
Her joy reflected the close bond she shares with her daughter’s partner.
This is not the first time Iyabo has publicly expressed pride in Juma Jux. When he staged his first concert in Lagos last December, she said she felt blessed to have him in the family.
According to her, the success of the show proved his dedication to music. She added that Jux is intentional about his work and life, which is why God blessed him with an equally intentional and loving wife who supports him fully.
Jux’s recognition at AFRIMA adds to his growing list of honours in Nigeria.
Back in 2024, shortly after making his relationship with Priscilla Ojo public, he won Best Artist/Group in Eastern Africa at the Jaylia Awards in Côte d’Ivoire.
At that time, he openly appreciated Priscilla and spoke fondly of her, showing how much she meant to him.
