In a moment that has captivated fans across two continents, Nigerian social media influencer and entrepreneur Priscilla Ojo and her Tanzanian musician husband, Juma Jux, have welcomed their first child together.
The couple’s son, Prince Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala, was born on Sunday, August 24, 2025, in Canada. The joyous announcement came from an unexpected but beloved source—Nollywood veteran actress Iyabo Ojo, who has now officially assumed the role of doting grandmother.
The announcement came through Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, who shared a photo from the hospital via her official Instagram handle. In what has already become an iconic family portrait, the seasoned actress was photographed beaming with pride as she cradled her newborn grandson, while an exhausted but radiant Priscilla looked on from her hospital bed.
True to her vibrant personality, Iyabo Ojo couldn’t resist adding her signature flair to the momentous announcement, playfully declaring herself the “sexiest grandma in town” in her Instagram caption. The post has since become a viral sensation, sparking an avalanche of congratulatory messages from celebrities, influencers, and fans across Africa and beyond.
This birth marks a significant milestone for the high-profile couple, who have been the subject of intense media attention since their whirlwind romance became public. The couple, who tied the knot earlier this year, announced their pregnancy in July 2025, sending their combined fanbase into a frenzy of excitement and anticipation.
The choice of Canada as the birthplace appears strategic, offering the international couple a neutral ground that bridges their Nigerian and Tanzanian heritage while potentially securing advantageous citizenship options for their son. The name Prince Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala itself reflects this cultural fusion—combining Arabic, Yoruba, and Tanzanian elements that honor both parents’ backgrounds.
Sources close to the family reveal that the couple had previously hosted an elaborate gender reveal party, where the announcement of expecting a baby boy was met with thunderous cheers and emotional embraces from their inner circle. The event, characteristic of the couple’s love for grand gestures, was reportedly attended by notable figures from both the Nigerian and Tanzanian entertainment industries.
This development further cements the growing trend of cross-African celebrity unions, with the Ojo-Jux pairing representing a new generation of African entertainment royalty that transcends national boundaries. Their relationship has been closely watched as a symbol of continental unity, with fans from Lagos to Dar es Salaam celebrating their milestones as shared victories.
As social media continues to buzz with well-wishes and the hashtag #PrinceRakeem trends across platforms, the couple’s journey into parenthood promises to be as publicly celebrated as their romance. With Iyabo Ojo already embracing her grandmother status with characteristic enthusiasm, and the entertainment industries of two nations watching, Prince Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala enters the world as perhaps one of Africa’s most anticipated celebrity babies.
The family is expected to share more details about their new addition in the coming days, as fans eagerly await glimpses of the newest member of this influential entertainment dynasty.
