Juma Jux has broken his silence amid a social media storm triggered by Tanzanian fans who flooded Priscilla Ojo's TikTok comments with a #FreeJumaJux campaign, urging her to leave him over his noticeably slimmer appearance. The singer dropped a brief but telling comment on a recent Instagram post by Priscilla from an event in Ghana, writing simply: "My love ?."
How the #FreeJumaJux Campaign Started
The controversy began after Juma Jux attended the wedding of Nigerian influencers Jarvis and Peller, where his visibly slimmer frame caught the attention of his Tanzanian followers. Many fans quickly connected his weight loss to his relationship with Priscilla, and the hashtag #FreeJumaJux began trending in her comment sections.
One fan wrote: "Free jux. He's a big artist, and seeing him lose so much weight so suddenly is really worrying and painful for his fans." Others went further, with remarks like "Juma Jux was better with Vanessa Mdee" circulating widely across social media platforms.
Priscilla Ojo Fires Back at Critics
Priscilla, the influencer and daughter of actress Iyabo Ojo, was not about to let any of the criticism slide. She hit back directly in the comments with responses that spread quickly after fans began sharing screenshots. "Aww, your brother loves it here," she wrote in one reply. In another, she appeared to hint at a second pregnancy with Juma, writing: "Una for talk since, second belle don enter." She also added: "You know what they say about tall and thin men right" and a simple but loaded "Too late."
The sharp exchanges were quickly screenshotted and shared across social media, intensifying the cross-border clash between Nigerian and Tanzanian fans. Nigerians rallied behind Priscilla throughout the exchange as the social media divide grew louder by the hour.
Juma Jux Weighs In
What makes the situation even more interesting is that Juma Jux had already addressed the weight concerns before the campaign took off, saying he was happy with his new look. His sister Fatima also stepped in to defend both his appearance and Priscilla publicly.
Then, amid all the noise online, the singer dropped a comment on a recent post by Priscilla from an event in Ghana, writing simply: "My love ?." The timing of the comment spoke volumes, signaling his support for Priscilla despite the backlash.
