    Priscilla, daughter of actress Iyabo Ojo, and her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, are celebrating their first wedding anniversary with a romantic throwback photo shoot, recreating iconic images of Tupac Shakur and Janet Jackson from the 1993 film Poetic Justice.

    “One year down, forever to go,” Priscilla captioned the post on Instagram, which garnered congratulatory messages from friends, family, and celebrities.

    Social media influencer Enioluwa Adeoluwa and actress Iyabo Ojo, Priscilla’s mother, were among those who wished the couple well.

    The couple, who tied the knot in a glamorous Islamic ceremony in Tanzania in February 2025, followed by events in Nigeria and a destination wedding in May, welcomed their first child, Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala, in August 2025.

    The anniversary celebration has sparked an outpouring of love and best wishes for the young family.

    I had little chemistry with Tupac – American actress Jada

    Renowned American Actress, Jada Pinkett Smith, has described the late rapper Tupac Shakur as her soul mate three decades after his demise.

    Referring to Tupac, Jada said he was a genuine “soul mate” despite having been married to Will Smith for 19 years when she spoke to Christal Jordan of RollingOut on Thursday, October 12, ahead of the publication of her honest-to-goodness memoir.

    The actress, who acknowledged that she and Tupac had little chemistry, went on to allege that Pac had proposed to her and she had declined.

    Jordan asked her during the interview if she thought it was possible to have a “soul mate friendship” without a love component. Jada replied to this by saying;

    “Absolutely! We have soul mates. Our children can be our soulmates. I think this kind of romanticized idea is like a ‘soulmate.’ There are all kinds of definitions of a soulmate.

    “But yeah, you know, definitely. If there is such a thing as past lives, I definitely think ‘Pac and I have travelled a few together. You know, in various forms.”

    “It just wasn’t possible; there was no chemistry between us. Let me tell you, don’t think that ‘Pac and I, as I write in the book, we had those moments, and I wish I could get people to understand the repelling nature. It was almost like God made us that way.

    “It was like, ‘Look, I’mma put y’all together, y’all are gonna be a dynamic duo, but I’mma tell you right now, I’mma make it so y’all are not gonna be able to get together.’ Cause that just wasn’t the purpose.”
