Actress Iyabo Ojo's daughter, Priscilla Ojo, is not one to stay quiet when the internet comes for her, and Tanzanian fans just found that out the hard way.
The influencer found herself at the centre of a cross-border social media storm on Monday, August 11, 2026, after fans of her partner, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, flooded her comment section on TikTok with concerns and criticisms after his recent appearance.

How the #FreeJumaJux Drama Started
The tension began after Juma Jux showed up at the high-profile wedding of Nigerian influencers Jarvis and Peller looking noticeably slimmer.

His changed physique alarmed a number of his Tanzanian fans, who quickly began attributing the weight loss to his relationship with Priscilla. They launched a #freejumajux movement, targeting her page with pointed messages.
"Free jux. He's a big artist, and seeing him lose so much weight so suddenly is really worrying and painful for his fans," one comment read. Others were less measured: "Juma Jux was better with Vanessa Mdee" also made the rounds.
Priscilla, however, was in no mood to absorb the criticism quietly. She fired back directly in the comments with responses that fans quickly screenshot and shared.
"Aww, your brother loves it here," she wrote in one reply. To another comment, she responded: "Una for talk since, second belle don enter," suggesting she is expecting a second child with Juma. She also cheekily added: "You know what they say about tall and thin men right" and "Too late."

It is worth noting that Juma Jux had already addressed the weight loss concerns himself, stating that he actually loves his new look. His sister Fatima also backed him publicly, defending both his appearance and Priscilla.
