Priscilla Ojo Locks Horns With Tanzanians Who Told Her to Leave Juma Jux Over His Weight Loss
Nigerian influencer Priscilla Ojo has fired back at Tanzanian fans who launched a "#FreeJumaJux" campaign, urging her to "release" her husband, singer Juma Jux, after they expressed concern over his noticeably slimmer appearance at a recent wedding . Rather than take the criticism to heart, Priscilla responded with humour, jokingly suggesting that the singer's weight loss was actually a sign that she was taking good care of him.
Priscilla Ojo Locks Horns With Tanzanians Who Told Her to Leave Juma Jux Over His Weight Loss
The backlash erupted after the Tanzanian Bongo Flava star attended the lavish wedding of content creators Peller and Jarvis in Lagos, where fans observed a significant change in his physique.
The observation quickly snowballed into a social media storm, with some fans linking his weight loss directly to his marriage and others expressing worry about his health, with one commenter writing, "Free Jux. He's a big artist, and seeing him lose so much weight so suddenly is really worrying and painful for his fans".
The concerns escalated to the point where some fans flooded Priscilla's comment sections with accusations, urging her to cut back on his spending and even claiming she was depriving him of food.
Rather than stay silent or take the criticism to heart, Priscilla engaged directly with her critics in the comment sections, dismissing their concerns with humour and insisting that her husband was doing just fine.
In one response, she cheekily wrote, "Pussy is too good, he doesn't want to leave," and added, "Your brothers love it here".
She also appeared to fuel pregnancy speculation when she teased, "Una for talk since, second belle don enter," suggesting that any changes in her husband's appearance might be because she is looking after him so well.
Juma Jux himself has addressed the speculation, making it clear that the weight loss was intentional and that he is happy with his current appearance.
He said, "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".
His sister, Fatima, also came to Priscilla's defence, insisting that her brother simply chose a "Slim Fit" style, that "there is food at home, there is peace, there is love," and urged critics to "please leave his wife alone, she is a good cook".
The online exchange has drawn mixed reactions across social media platforms. While some observers found the couple's handling of the situation amusing, others defended them against the scrutiny over Jux's body.
One commenter wrote, "Exactly Give them back-to-back. Anything wey dem like make dem talk na for their pocket You're really representing Nigerians," while another questioned the campaign, asking, "Which one is free Juma Jux?? Them Dey hold grown man?".
As the debate continues, the #FreeJumaJux saga has become another chapter in the public fascination with the cross-border marriage, which has attracted significant attention in both Nigeria and Tanzania since the couple tied the knot in 2025 and welcomed their son the same year.
