Tanzanian R&B star Juma Jux recently opened up about the incredible support he received from his best friend Diamond Platnumz during his luxurious wedding ceremonies. Celebrating his love with Nigerian beauty Priscilla Ojo, Jux held three elaborate weddings that spanned two countries, making headlines across East and West Africa.
The couple began their journey with a traditional Muslim wedding in Tanzania, which was followed by an extravagant official celebration in Nigeria. The final leg of their matrimonial journey was a homecoming ceremony in Tanzania, where Priscilla was warmly welcomed into Jux’s family. The event brought together a host of celebrities and close friends, and during the occasion, Jux surprised his bride with a lavish gift—a brand-new Range Rover.
Speaking in a recent interview, Jux revealed that he did not plan or budget for any of the ceremonies. He admitted that he simply spent money as needed, prioritizing joy and memorable moments over calculations. “All the weddings, for me, the joy was bigger than the amount of money spent,” he said. “Even for the traditional wedding alone, I spent a lot. I was just splashing money.”
He also revealed that Diamond Platnumz contributed significantly to the festivities, gifting him more than $25,000—over KSh 3 million. Jux added that other friends also offered their support, but Diamond’s contribution stood out, not only financially but also emotionally. “My best friend Diamond spent more than $25,000, and that’s just from him,” he said. “Whenever something needed money, I just paid for it.”
Rumors had circulated online suggesting that Jux had taken out massive loans to finance the wedding, especially after his wife hinted the total cost could have exceeded KSh 49 million. However, he dismissed these claims outright, stating, “I am a businessman. I cannot take a loan to cater for a wedding—how would I pay it back? That is not true.”
Interestingly, the couple had initially planned a fourth wedding in Rwanda, the place where their love story began, but the idea was shelved due to Priscilla feeling overwhelmed by the series of events already held.
Social media lit up with reactions after Jux’s revelations. While many praised him for going all out for love, others couldn’t help but poke fun or raise eyebrows at the extravagant spending. Comments ranged from admiration for the celebrations to humorous takes on what the money could have done elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Diamond himself expressed pride in Jux’s final ceremony in Dar es Salaam, describing it as a powerful showcase of both love and culture. He applauded the grandeur of the event, saying it would help change perceptions and prove that Tanzanian men are not only wealthy but also deeply romantic.
As Jux and Priscilla continue to share glimpses of their fairytale romance, their story has become one of the most talked-about celebrity unions in the region—filled with glitz, heartfelt moments, and a strong bond between friends who show up when it matters most.
