Nigerian influencer Priscilla Ojo and Tanzanian singer Juma Jux are expecting a baby boy, and they shared the big news in a colourful and star-studded gender reveal party on Thursday.
The couple, who recently got married, hosted close friends, family, and fellow celebrities at the vibrant celebration, which took place in Lagos. The event featured music, dancing, and a dramatic reveal that left guests cheering with excitement.
Priscilla and Jux had kept their pregnancy journey largely private, but chose to make a public announcement in a stylish and memorable way, which quickly captured attention on social media.
The highlight of the event came when smoke bomb cannons were fired into the sky, releasing clouds of blue smoke, confirming that the couple is expecting a boy. The emotional moment was captured on video and shared on their joint Instagram page, with the caption: “Our little God’s design is a…” followed by blue heart emojis.
The gender reveal had added excitement as both soon-to-be parents shared their guesses just before the reveal. Juma Jux, 34, expressed his hope for a baby girl, while Priscilla, 24, confidently said she believed they were having a boy.
When the blue smoke filled the air, Priscilla celebrated with visible joy, hugging Juma as guests clapped and cheered. Friends and family joined the couple in dancing, hugging, and taking photos to mark the occasion.
The union of Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux has been a subject of public interest since they confirmed their relationship earlier this year. Priscilla, the daughter of popular Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, is a well-known fashion entrepreneur, lifestyle influencer, and social media personality with a large following in Nigeria.
Juma Jux, whose real name is Juma Mussa Mkambala, is one of East Africa’s top music stars. Known for hits like “Sugua” and “In Case You Don’t Know”, he enjoys massive popularity across Tanzania and beyond.
The couple’s relationship gained attention not only because of their celebrity status but also due to the cross-cultural nature of their love story—blending Nigerian and Tanzanian traditions.
Since tying the knot earlier this year in a private ceremony, the two have been sharing glimpses of their life together, with fans praising their chemistry and elegant style.
After the gender reveal video went viral, social media was flooded with congratulatory messages. Fans, fellow influencers, and entertainers from both Nigeria and Tanzania sent their good wishes to the couple, praying for a safe and healthy delivery.
Iyabo Ojo, Priscilla’s mother, also reposted the video with a loving message to her daughter and son-in-law, saying, “Congratulations my princess and prince… I can’t wait to hold my grandson!”
Other celebrities also sent in their love and blessings.
Gender reveal parties have become increasingly popular in Nigeria and across Africa in recent years, especially among young celebrity couples. These events are often marked by creative displays such as balloon pops, cake cutting, fireworks, and smoke bombs to announce the baby’s gender in dramatic fashion.
For many, the celebrations also serve as an opportunity to bring family and friends together ahead of the baby’s arrival, and to share the journey of parenthood publicly.
However, they have also sparked conversations online about public vs private parenting, as some argue that such displays add pressure to young couples and set unrealistic standards for ordinary families.
Still, many fans see them as joyful moments worth celebrating—especially for couples in the public eye.
Priscilla and Juma Jux have not yet announced the expected delivery date, but sources close to the couple say preparations are already underway for the baby’s arrival.
For now, the couple continues to enjoy the spotlight as they prepare to enter a new chapter of their lives—parenthood.
With the gender revealed and love pouring in from both Nigerian and Tanzanian fans, the celebrity pair appears ready to take on this exciting journey together.
Whether they choose to raise their child in Nigeria, Tanzania, or somewhere in between, fans across Africa will be watching closely and cheering them on every step of the way.
