Priscilla Ojo, Tanzanian music star Juma Jux are engaged

It’s real, after all! After countless speculations and confusion over the relationship status of actress Iyabo Ojo’s daughter, Priscilla, and Tanzanian music star Juma Jux, it has been confirmed that they are engaged.

Priscilla, following in her mother’s footsteps in the entertainment industry and Jux, known for his hit tracks, including “Sugua” with Diamond Platnumz, have been in a whirlwind romance that has now culminated into wedding bells.

In the last few days, Nigerians and Tanzanians have been inundated with loved-up photos and videos of the lovebirds. It was initially thought to be a publicity stunt, a standard practice by entertainers to boost their image or promote a project.

Iyabo, a key figure in their relationship, eventually confirmed that her daughter is betrothed to the Tanzanian musician famous for several tracks, including “Sugua” with Diamond Platnumz on her Instagram page.

As expected, congratulatory messages are still rolling in for the Nollywood actress who now refers to herself as ‘iya Iyawo’, a Yoruba term for mother of the bride.

The recent one came from her colleague, Mercy Aigbe, who shared a video of the couple applauding the mother-of-the-bride-to-be.
