Nigerian influencer and the latest wife in town, Priscilla Ojo, has defended her husband, Juma Jux, over his Headies win.
Kemi Filani reported on Sunday evening that the 17th edition of the prestigious award was held at Landmark Event Centre, Lagos.
Juma Jux, who attended the event with his wife, Priscilla, won the Best East African Artiste of the Year award. In his speech, Juma thanked God, his wife, his management, his family, his JP lovers, and the award organisers for believing in East African music.
A Twitter user identified as Oku Yungx implied that the Tanzanian singer got married to Priscilla to gain recognition and win awards in Nigeria.
“Lmao. The game is the game”, the tweep wrote.
Defending him, Priscilla sarcastically said her husband got married for Nigerian recognition and the Headies Award. She affirmed that the game is the game as she gave a shout-out to Juma, whom she described as a smart, calculative, and hardworking man.
Priscilla expressed how lucky she was to have him and praised their fans for voting.
“Yes, o, he got married for Nigerians recognition and the Headies Award. The game is the game, my brother. Shout-out to my husband, such a smart, calculative, and hardworking man. I’m so lucky. Big love to JP fans for voting. We love you.”
Another Twitter user slamming Priscilla told her not to start what she can’t finish as she noted how Twitter users don’t have joy.
“You better don’t start what you can’t finish, my love; Twitter people don’t get joy o”.
Responding to the tweep, Priscilla said she was clearly praising her husband and supporting the statement.
“Abibah, I’m clearly praising my husband and supporting the statement, “The game is the game; there is nothing to start and finish here. “
Late last year, Juma Jux won the Best Artists/Group Eastern Africa 2024 at the Jaylia Awards in Cote d’Ivoire. While receiving his award, Juma appreciated Priscilla and gushed over her.
Reacting to his win, Priscilla, stated that she loves everything about him, most importantly his kind heart. She praised him for being a kind man and congratulated him on his award.
His mother-in-law, Iyabo Ojo, had said a word of prayer for him as she prayed for him to win more.
