Tanzanian singer Juma Jux has threatened legal action over claims that he fathered a child with another woman.
The ‘Ololufe Mi’ hitmaker addressed the allegation in a statement shared on his Instagram story.
Jux said he initially chose to ignore the claim. However, he decided to speak out after the reports continued to spread.
Jux denies allegation
“Reports have been circulating claiming that I am the father of a certain person’s child. I have been monitoring this matter calmly, without giving it any more weight than it deserves—which is none at all,” the statement reads.
Jux said the allegation had begun to affect his name, family and businesses.
“However, since this issue has now escalated and continues to implicate my name, my family, my businesses, and the reputation I have built over many years through hard work and great effort, I felt it necessary to briefly address it.”
The 36-year-old singer said he contacted the woman involved to understand the basis of the claim.
He said the woman confirmed that they have no romantic relationship.
Jux added that the matter has now reached the relevant legal authorities after the claims resurfaced.
Singer warns those spreading claims
Jux also urged the media and members of the public to verify information before sharing it.
“I also urge the media and the public to avoid spreading misleading information without verification,” he added.
The singer warned that anyone who links his name, family or businesses to what he described as false claims could face legal consequences.
“I have built my name, my brand, and my businesses over many years through hard work, discipline, and immense dedication. Therefore, anyone who chooses to link my name, family, or businesses to false claims must be prepared to face legal consequences. For my part, I have chosen calmness, the truth, and appropriate legal steps.”
Jux is married to Priscilla, the daughter of Nigerian filmmaker Iyabo Ojo.
The couple held their traditional and white weddings in Lagos in April 2025. They had earlier held an Islamic traditional wedding in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in February 2025.
