Star-Studded Cowboy Bash for Rakeem
The cowboy-themed party for Rakeem Mkambala, whom Priscilla shares with her Tanzanian singer husband Juma Jux, was a full family affair. Iyabo Ojo joined her daughter and son-in-law to celebrate in style. The guest list read like a who's who of Nigerian entertainment, with Johnny Drille, May Edochie and her children, Lateef and Mo Bimpe, Enioluwa, Mercy Aigbe, Toyosi Adesanya, Ireti Osaiyemi, Juliana Olayode, Foluke Daramola, Nkechi Blessing, Aisha Lawal, Bimbo Thomas, Yhemo Lee and his wife, Kiitan Bukola, Omowunmi Ajiboye, Veekee James and her husband, and several others all making an appearance.
A day before the party, Priscilla Ojo, better known as Priscy, had already set the tone by showing off the thoughtful souvenirs she had prepared for guests, which included school bags, scooters, and baby oils, among other items. Following the celebration, a visibly emotional Priscilla took to her Instagram story to show off the gifts her son received and to express her gratitude.
Priscilla Overwhelmed by Love and Support
"Still overwhelmed. Thank you to all our family and friends who showed up, showed love, brought gifts and partied with us yesterday. You made his day so magical," she wrote. Rakeem officially clocked one on Monday, August 24, 2026, and his parents marked the milestone by unveiling his face for the first time and offering him a heartfelt prayer.
The grand celebration itself, however, took place on Saturday, August 29, 2026, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Priscilla's emotional reaction highlighted the significance of the day, as she acknowledged the outpouring of love from family and friends.
Priscilla and Juma Jux's Journey to Parenthood
The build-up to Rakeem's first birthday has been filled with memorable moments. When news of his arrival broke, Juma Jux celebrated by sharing a video on his Snapchat page showing himself toasting the good news with a friend, the two taking a shot together in pure excitement. When Rakeem turned 40 days old, Priscilla and Juma Jux hosted a gathering of loved ones in Tanzania to mark the occasion.
Priscilla also opened up about her labour experience, explaining that she was rushed to hospital at 3am and that her plans to create content and look put-together during delivery were quickly abandoned once contractions set in. During her postpartum recovery, she credited her mother, Iyabo Ojo and actress Lola Alao as her lifesavers, saying both women ensured she had the rest and space she needed to heal properly. Priscilla and Juma Jux wed in a six-part ceremony spread across Tanzania and Nigeria in February, April and May 2025.

On Sunday, August 30, 2026, Lawal took to TikTok to share a video, revealing the generous gift bag she received at the celebration. Her video quickly went viral, sparking reactions from fans and followers.
