Priscilla Ojo (Priscilla Ajoke Ojo) has denied claims her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, lost his boutique to fire during the tense unrest in Tanzania.
The Nigerian influencer said the luxury store was only looted during post election violence in Dar es Salaam. Related update is the Burna Boy gifts friend Lamborghini story.
What sparked the false report
Earlier on Thursday, social media picked up an X post that said protesters “set ablaze and completely destroyed” a store said to belong to Jux. The post linked the attack to clashes that followed Tanzania’s hotly contested presidential poll.
The claim spread fast on TikTok and Instagram because the store is known for high end fashion items. Some commenters also tied the value of the goods to an exaggerated dollar figure.
However, Priscilla stepped in on Snapchat to stop the rumour. On a dark background, she wrote that the place was “LOOTED ✅ BURNT ❌”, showing that hoodlums only broke in during the chaos.
Looted, not burnt
Her wording means items were stolen but the structure was not razed. That is an important point for fans who feared the couple had lost the whole business.
Priscilla did not state whether the shop has insurance or the exact value of goods missing. She also did not share if the store will reopen soon.
Juma Jux has not issued a public statement on his own pages at the time of filing this report. That silence suggests the couple want to manage the fallout privately.

The unrest in Tanzania, as described online, followed the announcement of results that split supporters. In such moments, businesses in city centres are easy targets. Priscilla’s update helps fans tell fact from earlier viral posts.
Her correction also protects her husband’s brand. A full fire loss could send the wrong signal to partners, while a looting case still shows the shop exists.
