    Tanzanian singer Juma Jux has explained the reason behind his multiple wedding celebrations with Nigerian influencer Priscilla Ojo.

    According to Jux, he wanted to honour every significant location that shaped their love story.

    Despite already having six weddings, Jux, in a video, revealed he wanted even more to fully express his love, but Priscilla’s energy levels have been depleted due to the demands of traditional and modern bridal wear.

    “This is the final round, the big one. I call it the final one because my wife is tired already. “5-6 weddings are not even enough for me. I wanted more. I wanted to go to the place where we first met, but she has no energy; she has tried.

    The couple’s final wedding celebration is set for May 28, 2025, in Tanzania, which Jux promises will be unforgettable.

    “Tanzania is the final one, the last one, and because it’s the final one, I’d put everything on that. It’s going to be crazy. My friends from different countries are coming; from Uganda, Kenya, China, the USA, and even Tanzania,” he said.

    Actress Lizzy Anjorin has refuted claims of being envious of her longtime rival Iyabo Ojo’s daughter, Priscilla, following the latter’s recent wedding to Tanzanian singer Juma Jux.

    She also admired the couple’s wedding, rhetorically asking who could harbor negative feelings toward such a joyful celebration.

    Subtly addressing her strained relationship with Iyabo Ojo, Anjorin noted that while some may try to bring her down, God continues to elevate her through their actions.

    She said: “Let’s forget about the mother. Let’s face the daughter. Who will ever hate such a wedding? Who dares to hate such a wedding? Do we want to talk about how focused that lady is? How determined she is?” she said.

    “The happiness of every mother is to have a daughter who will work along with you, regardless of who you are. Whether you are a thief, a blackmailer, a destroyer, or rich as a mother, every mother prays for a child who always thinks along with the mother.

    “Who will hate such a wedding? A wedding that they did not tell us anything negative about the wife or the husband or the mother-in-law or the father-in-law? So, tell me what you want to hate about that wedding?

    “If we are talking about the wife, she has been on her own, been a very beautiful girl, she has maintained her lane. I have said that because you are destroying me does not mean I am going to destroy you in return. You guys are trying to destroy me, but instead God is using you to promote me.”

    The actress has long been embroiled in a public spat with Iyabo Ojo, which began in 2023 and has played out on social media.
