The influencer and entrepreneur, who is married to Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, shared photographs of Rakeem on Instagram to celebrate the milestone, giving fans and followers their first full glimpse of the child whose birth has attracted considerable attention across social media.
In a heartfelt birthday message, Priscilla reflected on the speed at which her son had grown during his first year, describing him as her “greatest answered prayer” and expressing gratitude for the joy and love he had brought into her life.
“We blinked, and a whole year passed.
“To our dearest son,
“Watching you grow has been the biggest blessing. You are the most cheeky, happy, cleverest little pumpkin. You light up every room you walk into and we’re so proud to be your parents,” she wrote.
“365 days of loving you, cuddling you, and watching your beautiful personality shine. You are curious, so joyful, so smart and so full of life. You make every day better just by being you,” she added.
She also expressed amazement at how quickly Rakeem was growing, affectionately referring to him as their “little sunshine” while wishing him a future filled with happiness.
“We can’t believe how fast you’re growing, our little sunshine. May your life be filled with as much happiness as you have given us this past year,” she wrote.
The proud mother further offered prayers for her son’s health, happiness and sense of purpose, asking God to direct his path as he grows.
“We pray you grow up healthy, happy and full of purpose.
“We pray God guides your steps and orders your path.
“We pray you know how deeply you are loved, every single day,” she added.
Priscilla also prayed that her son would retain the innocence and joy that have characterised his first year, particularly his laughter and cheerful personality.
“We pray your laughter never stops and your beautiful heart stays pure.
“You are our greatest answered prayer.
“Happy 1st Birthday our sunshine, we love you endlessly,” she wrote.
Born in Canada
Rakeem was born on August 24, 2025, in Canada, as the first child of Priscilla and Juma Jux.
The couple had announced their pregnancy in July 2025, before welcoming their son and celebrating his arrival with family members, friends and their large following on social media.
His birth quickly became a major talking point online. An Instagram account created for the newborn reportedly attracted more than 50,000 followers within an hour of its launch, underscoring the level of public interest surrounding the celebrity couple.
Despite the intense attention, Priscilla initially chose not to show her son’s face publicly. She maintained a measure of privacy around the child and indicated that she would introduce him to the public when she considered the time appropriate.
The family later reunited in Tanzania after Priscilla and Rakeem returned from Canada, with Jux welcoming his wife and son.
A long-awaited reveal
The decision to unveil Rakeem’s face on his first birthday therefore represents a significant change from the couple’s earlier approach to their son’s privacy.
For many of their followers, the birthday celebration was not only an opportunity to mark Rakeem’s first year but also the first chance to see the child’s face after months of anticipation.
Priscilla’s birthday message, however, placed the focus firmly on motherhood and her hopes for her son’s future. Beyond the public attention surrounding his birth and identity, she celebrated the ordinary joys of watching a child grow, describing Rakeem as curious, joyful, intelligent and full of life.
As the toddler begins his second year, the first public unveiling of his face marks a new chapter for the family, while Priscilla’s emotional tribute reflects the significance of the milestone for the young parents.
