Tanzanian singer Juma Jux has opened up about the challenges he faced in convincing his wife, Priscilla Ojo—daughter of Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo—to embrace Islam following their high-profile wedding.
In an interview with Afrikmedia, Jux admitted that guiding Priscilla through her spiritual transformation wasn’t easy. He credited the patience and support he received from religious scholars and mentors for helping him navigate the delicate process.
“It was a little difficult convincing my wife to become a Muslim,” he confessed. “But I received guidance from religious leaders who taught me how to handle the situation with care. With time, she came to understand and accept the faith.”
Reflecting on their celebrated wedding, Juma shared that he had envisioned the entire ceremony in a dream before it happened. “I had a dream about my wedding. Everything played out just as I saw it,” he said. “I’m lucky to have found someone who shares the same values and goals.”
Since then, Jux has not hidden his admiration for Priscilla. On set for his “God Design” music video, he praised her as the ideal partner, always at his side through thick and thin.
He also reaffirmed his commitment to her family: during their traditional wedding, he pledged to support Iyabo Ojo and Priscilla’s father, including plans to invite them to Tanzania once the couple starts a family.
As Priscilla marks her first year as a Muslim bride, Juma Jux’s candid revelations offer a rare glimpse into the patience, faith, and mutual growth that define their union.
