How the #FreeJumaJux Campaign Started
The whole thing kicked off after Juma Jux attended the wedding of Nigerian influencers Jarvis and Peller, where his noticeably slimmer frame caught the attention of his Tanzanian followers.
Many wasted no time in connecting his weight loss to his relationship with Priscilla, and a #FreeJumaJux movement quickly took shape in her comments.
One fan wrote: "Free jux. He's a big artist, and seeing him lose so much weight so suddenly is really worrying and painful for his fans." Others went further, with remarks like "Juma Jux was better with Vanessa Mdee" circulating widely.
Priscilla, however, was not about to let any of it slide. She hit back directly in the comments with responses that spread quickly after fans began sharing screenshots.
"Aww, your brother loves it here," she wrote in one reply. In another, she appeared to hint at a second pregnancy with Juma, writing: "Una for talk since, second belle don enter." She also added: "You know what they say about tall and thin men right" and a simple but loaded "Too late."
Juma Jux Weighs In
What makes the situation even more interesting is that Juma Jux had already addressed the weight concerns before the campaign took off, saying he was happy with his new look. His sister Fatima also stepped in to defend both his appearance and Priscilla publicly.
Then, amid all the noise online, the singer dropped a comment on a recent post by Priscilla from an event in Ghana, writing simply: "My love 😍."
It was brief, but the timing said everything. Nigerians rallied behind Priscilla throughout the exchange as the social media divide between Nigerian and Tanzanian fans grew louder by the hour.
