How many relationships has Jux been in?

Before his relationship with Priscilla was made public, he dated Vanessa Mdee, a Tanzanian singer and TV personality, until 2019. Mdee is now married to Nigerian-American singer Rotimi.

Another of his public relationships was with model and influencer Karen Bujulu, but they separated in April 2024.

Reports from Tanzania revealed Karen slammed Jux's relationship with Priscilla.

While people congratulated Jux on his relationship with Priscila, Karen shared a picture of a cocktail with the caption, "Old fashioned."

However, in an interview with Tanzania's Millard Ayo, Jux revealed he had dated five well-known women. He said he doesn't date for a short time.

"Every woman that I dated, I felt like I was going to marry them," he said.

Jux owns a clothing line

Aside from his professional career as a musician, Jux, popularly known as ‘African Boy,’ is a fashionista who owns a clothing line he launched in 2018.

Jux, who said he doesn't want a baby mama, added:

"I am hoping to have kids in marriage, the woman that I will have kids with, will be my wife. I will do everything I can to make her my wife."

Tanzanian star once planned a women's only concert

Jux planned to have a concert, ‘King of Hearts, ’ in Dar es Salaam, which was dubbed to be the first show of its kind to be held in Tanzania.

The Sugua singer said it was meant to thank female fans who stood by him since he began his career.

The concert, however, was thwarted owing to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Jux graduated from a university in China

Why Priscilla Ojo's relationship may not be PR

Kehinde Ajose stressed that while Priscy's relationship with Jux has all the makings of a PR stunt, it might not be entirely orchestrated.

"It seems that everyone involved—Priscy, her mother, and Juma—are taking advantage of the attention and clout the relationship is generating to further their own personal agendas," he said.

"While the relationship might be genuine, they're also capitalizing on its viral nature to boost their careers and personal brands," he added.

He, however, hoped Jux was not using Priscilla to gain Nigerian support for his career.
