    Juma Jux recounts love-at-first-sight story with Priscilla Ojo

    Tanzanian singer Juma Jux has shared the heart-warming story of how he met his Nigerian wife, Priscilla Ojo.

    In a recent interview with Yanga FM Lagos, Jux revealed that he was immediately smitten with Priscilla’s beauty, but it was her excellent communication skills and other qualities that convinced him she was the one.

    According to him, he didn’t discover Priscilla’s celebrity status until he hosted her in Zanzibar and saw the blogs covering their meeting.

    He said, “I met Priscilla in Rwanda. I didn’t know she was a celebrity. When I saw her, it was love-at-first-sight. I was like, ‘Wow! This girl is beautiful, I like her.’

    “And after we had conversations, I figured out that she is the one I would marry. It was love-at-first-sight, to be honest. Even after many meetings, I still didn’t know she was a celebrity until I hosted her in Zanzibar, and blogs carried it.”

    The singer has credited his marriage to Priscilla with boosting his career, particularly in Nigeria and West Africa.

    Juma Jux and Priscilla Ojo tied the knot earlier this year and welcomed their son, Rakeem, in Canada on August 24, 2025.

    The couple’s chance encounter in Rwanda led to a romance that has captivated fans across East and West Africa.
