Nigerian influencer Priscilla Ojo is trending on social media after Tanzanians flooded the comment sections of her pages to raise concerns over her husband, singer Juma “Juma Jux” Mkambala’s noticeable weight loss.
Tanzanians and fans of the singer are calling on Priscilla, daughter of actress Iyabo Ojo, to “release” their son, using the hashtag #FreeJumaJux.

PREMIUM TIMES gathered that the backlash followed the singer’s visibly leaner appearance at the star-studded wedding of TikTokers Habeeb “Peller” Hamzat and Amadou “Jarvis” Aminata, which prompted fans to blame Priscilla for his weight loss.
Furthermore, some Tanzanians accused her of driving the singer towards financial ruin and called on her to cut back on his spending.

She added that Juma Jux enjoyed the attention and was happy in their marriage.

Meanwhile, the singer said in a video posted on his wife’s TikTok page on Monday that he was comfortable with his current appearance.
He dismissed speculation that he was unwell, saying he did not want to return to his previous appearance.
“I don’t want to be chubby; I’m okay. Before, my stomach was bigger, and I didn’t want to be like that. I like myself now.”
