Nigerian influencer Priscilla Ojo has revealed that her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, was presumed impotent in his country because he did not have a child by age 35 despite his fame and wealth. Speaking in an interview with Chude Jidenowo, she said suspicions grew because his friends and fellow musicians all had children while he did not.

Even after the couple welcomed their first child, Prince Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala, in Canada in August 2025, many still speculated the child was born through surrogacy or implantation. The couple held their civil wedding in Tanzania in February 2025.

Key Points:

Public pressure to have children affects men as much as women, especially among wealthy celebrities.
The couple’s openness about their fertility journey may encourage others facing similar speculation.
Cross-cultural marriages face added scrutiny from both Nigerian and Tanzanian communities.
Priscilla’s candid interview challenges harmful assumptions about masculinity and fatherhood

Nigerian comedian Bovi Ugboma and South African actress Nomzamo Mbatha sparked reactions at the 2026 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) by recreating the viral snub between Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham from March 2026. During the ceremony, Bovi humorously walked up to Mbatha mimicking the famous public snub at the premiere of “The Return of Arinzo.” After the show, Toyin Abraham walked up to Bovi and admitted with a smile: “I knew you were going to crack that joke, but I am not going to lie, that was funny.” Both actresses have since unfollowed each other on social media.

Key Points:

Toyin Abraham’s gracious response shows she can laugh at herself despite the public rivalry.
Bovi’s joke kept the AMVCA audience engaged while acknowledging a real industry controversy.
The original snub has now become a pop culture reference point for Nollywood fans.
Abraham’s reaction may help cool tensions between the two actresses behind the scenes.
The timing of the joke, at a major awards ceremony, shows how celebrity feuds become entertainment content.
