A recent social media comment about the marriage between Nigerian celebrity Priscilla Ojo and her Tanzanian singer husband, Juma Jux, has ignited a fiery online debate among fans. The controversy began after a video of the couple surfaced online, showing them together on stage during one of Jux's performances.
The Comment That Sparked the Fire
The debate was triggered by a user on X, identified as Big Uncle. Reacting to the video, he expressed a hope that the day Priscilla would ever say "After all I did for you" to her husband would never come. He further claimed that Priscilla has done a lot for Juma Jux, including playing a pivotal role in bringing him into the mainstream media spotlight.
This assertion did not sit well with many other social media users, who quickly rushed to counter the claim. A user named Temitayo led the opposing argument, stating that Juma Jux married "down" while Priscilla married "up." He emphasized that the union was mutually beneficial, but strongly contested the idea that Priscilla was the primary career booster.
Fans Defend Juma Jux's Stature
Temitayo and other supporters pointed out that Juma Jux was already a top-tier music star in Tanzania long before he met Priscilla Ojo. They highlighted his significant achievements and background, noting that he is a Hennessy brand ambassador, boasts millions of social media followers, and hails from an elite family. A key point raised was his alleged closeness to the President of Tanzania.
The counter-argument suggested that while Priscilla may have increased Jux's visibility in Nigeria, his fame and success in East Africa were already firmly established. One fan, @adaebony333, echoed this sentiment online, listing Jux's accomplishments to underscore his independent success.
Mixed Reactions from the Online Community
The online space became a battleground of opinions. Some users, like @joynnk0512, took a balanced view, stating: "The same way Priscilla made Juma popular in Nigeria here is the same way Juma made her popular in Tanzania." This perspective acknowledged a reciprocal exchange of influence between the couple.
Others were more dismissive of Priscilla's perceived contribution. User @frosh_000000 commented sharply, questioning her individual career achievements compared to her husband's longstanding music career. Meanwhile, some, like @oyindeebamisile, urged people to mind their own business and stay out of the couple's private affairs.
The video that started it all was from an event where Juma Jux performed his hit song "Ayo Mi Tide" and invited his wife on stage. The couple had visited Nigeria with their son a few months prior to the incident.
In related news, Legit.ng had previously reported that Priscilla and her son, Rakeem, creatively celebrated Juma Jux's birthday from Canada, sharing a joyful dance video online that delighted fans. The original news report on the debate was published on December 17, 2025, by entertainment editor Shade Metibogun.
