Rakeem, who was born on Sunday, turned into an internet sensation almost immediately. Within just one hour of the announcement of his birth, his official Instagram account had already drawn more than 50,000 followers. By the time of this report, checks by BrandIconImage revealed that the number had surged to over 168,000 followers, a figure that continues to climb rapidly.
The baby’s instant online popularity is hardly surprising, given the high-profile status of his parents. Priscilla Ojo, daughter of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, commands a massive social media following in her own right, while Juma Jux is a celebrated musician in East Africa with a dedicated fan base.
The couple, who first met in Rwanda during one of Priscilla’s business trips, solidified their relationship with a traditional wedding in Lagos State on April 17, 2025. News of their union had generated wide attention across Nigerian and Tanzanian media, further fueling public interest in their family.
Rakeem’s swift rise to online fame highlights the growing trend of celebrity children inheriting not just their parents’ fame but also their digital audiences from birth.
