After keeping her son’s face private for an entire year, Nigerian influencer Priscilla Ojo and her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, have finally given fans their first proper look at little Rakeem.
The wait is finally over! Nigerian influencer and actress Priscilla Ojo has officially revealed the face of her son, Prince Rakeem Mkambala, as the little boy celebrates his first birthday today, August 24, 2026. Priscilla and her husband, Tanzanian musician Juma Jux, shared clear photos of their son on social media, marking the first time they have publicly shown his face since his birth. Rakeem was born in Canada on August 24, 2025, and throughout his first year, his parents deliberately kept his face hidden in photos and videos shared online.
THE BIG REVEAL
For an entire year, fans had been following Rakeem’s growth through carefully selected photos and videos, but his parents always made sure his face was not clearly visible. That privacy even extended to the baby’s own Instagram account, which reportedly attracted more than 100,000 followers despite fans not having seen his face. But on his first birthday, Priscilla and Juma decided the wait was over. The couple shared photographs showing their son’s face while celebrating the milestone with a heartfelt birthday message.
PRISCILLA’S EMOTIONAL BIRTHDAY MESSAGE
In their message, the proud parents described Rakeem as a cheerful, curious, and intelligent child who has brought immense happiness into their lives. They reflected on the speed at which his first year had passed and expressed gratitude for being able to watch his personality develop. They also prayed for their son to grow up healthy, happy, and purposeful, asking God to guide him throughout his life. The couple described Rakeem as their “greatest answered prayer” as they wished him a happy first birthday.
FANS AND FAMILY REACT
The face reveal immediately attracted reactions from fans, friends, and celebrities, with many people commenting on the toddler’s appearance and resemblance to his famous parents. Priscilla’s mother, Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, also celebrated her grandson on his special day, describing him as her first grandson, a joy and an answered prayer. The reveal has also generated excitement across Nigeria and Tanzania, considering the couple’s high-profile relationship and their wedding celebrations across both countries.
A YEAR OF PRIVACY COMES TO AN END. Priscilla and Juma’s decision to protect Rakeem’s identity for his first year had kept fans curious, especially because the couple regularly shared moments from their family life. Now that the first birthday has arrived, the couple has chosen to give the public a proper introduction to the newest member of their family. And judging from the reactions already pouring in, fans clearly feel the wait was worth it.
After a full year of hidden photos and endless curiosity, Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux have finally revealed little Rakeem’s face, and social media is already celebrating the adorable birthday boy.
