Priscilla Ojo has disclosed that her husband, Tanzanian musician Juma Jux, was subject to impotence rumours in Tanzania due to not having children before age 35 despite his prominence in the music industry. She made the revelation during an interview with Chude Jideonwo, shared on Instagram on Saturday, while discussing the couple's journey to parenthood. At the time, many in Tanzania questioned why Juma Jux, who had been in previous relationships, did not have children like his peers.
Ojo explained that public speculation intensified because of his age, fame, and past relationships. "In his country Tanzania, people thought he was impotent because he did not have a child or babymama like his many of his friends and colleagues. They were like, 'Why he is not having kids like his friends?' Because obviously, he has been in past relationships," she said. She defended her husband, describing him as disciplined and deliberate about family life.
"He knew when it was time. He is very disciplined. He knew what he wanted. You can roll with certain people and not be like them," she added. Even after the birth of their son, Prince Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala, in Canada in August 2025, some individuals alleged the child was born via surrogacy or implantation. The couple held their civil wedding in Tanzania in February 2025, followed by traditional and white wedding ceremonies in Lagos in April 2025.
Priscilla Ojo highlights that Juma Jux was rumoured to be impotent in Tanzania despite being in past relationships and reaching age 35 without a child. The speculation persisted even after the birth of their son, with claims of surrogacy or implantation. This reflects how public figures' private lives are often subjected to scrutiny and unfounded narratives. The couple's experience shows that personal choices around family can be misinterpreted as incapacity when they deviate from societal expectations.
