What’s the big deal about a couple posting their wedding photos and videos? Well, Tanzanian born but US based blogger, Mage Kimambi gets a slice of Nollywood’s Iyabo ojo’s wrath when she advised that #JP2025 should come to a close on social media especially the postings of videos and photos.
Actress Iyabo Ojo has fired back at Tanzanian media personality Mage Kimambi after the latter warned her daughter, Priscilla Ojo, to stop sharing posts about herself and her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux.
Kimambi, who resides in the US, called out Priscilla on Instagram on Friday, claiming that Tanzanians are in a critical political season and should not be distracted by content involving her and Jux.
“Tanzanians are currently fighting for their country as we head out for our elections. Everyone is on the neck of the government, and we don’t need any distraction from Priscilla and Juma,” Kimambi wrote.
Sharing a photo of the couple, she continued:
“@its.priscy Your Tanzanian in-laws love you. You seem like such a sweet girl, we have welcomed you in our country with loving arms but Tanzania is in a fight of a lifetime.
“We are fighting for our rights. We need our people to pay attention to the fight, so we don’t need you and Jux to distract our people with stupid content that the government wants you guys to post. We are on their a** and we ain’t letting up, so we need you and Jux to sit down for the next 5 months. After the election, y’all can continue doing whatever you need to do to stay relevant and we will support you.
“Please don’t make us hate you, our love. Next week when you go to London, we need you to keep Jux in the room and no posting stupid s**t to distract us from a fight of a lifetime. And while you are at it, tell Jux to tell his bestie @diamondplatnumz to also lay low for the next 5 months. We know you people won’t join our fight since you enjoy the privilege our government is providing you at our expense but kindly don’t derail our efforts.
“If you need to do kiki, take him to Nigeria and do it there… Again, we love you, our sweet beautiful girl, so don’t take this the wrong way, we adore you. We love Nigerians.”
Reacting on Saturday on Instagram, Iyabo Ojo shared a photo of Kimambi and issued a strongly worded response.
“@mangekimambi80 I’m appalled by your audacity! Referring to my daughter and her husband in such a manner, calling their content stupid, trying to drum fear and intimidation — this is unacceptable. As a parent, I’ve taught her to be confident and authentic. The Mkambala are very peaceful, but note I don’t joke with my daughter,” she wrote.
Iyabo also addressed claims that their wedding was funded by the Tanzanian government.
“Regarding the wedding rumors, it’s not your government who gave us money, it’s a cultural tradition in my family. The wife’s family covers costs. I wanted an elaborate wedding for my daughter in Nigeria and we the Nigerians gave her one.
“I’m an activist, and as one, I stand by my principles and fight for what I believe in, without insulting anyone or targeting anyone. True leadership requires presence and courage. It’s laughable that you, living in America, think you can dictate to my daughter and her husband, who are living their lives in Tanzania.
“Keep my daughter out of your affairs. She’ll post what she likes, when she likes, and how she likes. She doesn’t need you to love her. She is very loved and well loved.
“We protect our own… Never forget that…”
Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux captivated fans across Africa with their star-studded wedding celebrations which spanned Nigeria and Tanzania.
