Tanzanian singer Juma Jux has publicly denied allegations that he secretly fathered a child with a Tanzanian woman, confirming that the matter is now in the hands of legal authorities. The singer, who recently celebrated his son Rakeem's first birthday with wife Priscilla Ojo Mkambala, broke his silence on the resurfacing claims, stating he is taking legal action to clear his name.
Allegations resurface despite previous denial
In a statement shared on his social media platforms, Juma Jux addressed the claims directly, noting that the issue had come up before. He explained that because he was certain the reports were untrue, he had previously contacted the woman involved, identified as Musika, to understand why she had made the statements she did.
According to the singer, Musika confirmed in her own words and voice that she had never been physically intimate with him nor had a romantic relationship with him. She even asked him not to give the matter any weight, he said.
Legal action initiated as claims take new direction
Juma Jux revealed that the allegations have now resurfaced and taken a different direction, prompting him to escalate the matter. "Since these allegations have now resurfaced and taken a different direction, the matter is now in the hands of the legal authorities and further action will be taken against Musika," he wrote.
The singer also appealed to the media and individuals to refrain from spreading misleading information without being certain of the facts. His statement comes just days after he and his wife, Priscilla Ojo Mkambala, celebrated the first birthday of their son Rakeem, a milestone that had drawn public attention to the couple.
Impact on the singer's public image
The denial marks a firm stance from Juma Jux, who is a prominent figure in the Tanzanian music scene. By taking legal action, he aims to protect his reputation and put an end to what he describes as unfounded rumours. The case now rests with legal authorities, with further action promised against Musika, though no specific charges or timelines have been disclosed.
