The romance between Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux first sparked public curiosity in July when a video of the two dancing at a club went viral.

Following the video’s spread, Juma fueled speculation by sharing romantic photos of them on Instagram. This led Priscy to confirm their relationship in a comment where she vowed their connection would be “forever.”

Soon after, she officially shared the relationship news on her own Instagram, cementing their bond in the public eye.

In August, Priscy further solidified their relationship. She invited Juma Jux to Nigeria to celebrate his birthday, where her family greeted him warmly. Shortly after, Juma endeared himself to fans even more by releasing a love song dedicated to Priscy.

The song’s music video features the couple dancing intimately, with Juma captioning that he wrote the song specifically for them.
