Tanzanian singer Juma Jux has responded to allegations that he secretly fathered a child with a Tanzanian woman, strongly denying the claim and revealing that he has taken legal steps to address the matter.
The singer explained that the allegation had previously surfaced and that he personally contacted the woman involved to establish the reason behind her earlier statements.
According to Juma Jux, the woman, identified as Musika, allegedly confirmed in her own words and voice that she had never been physically intimate with him or had a romantic relationship with him.
He said that following the resurfacing of the allegations and what he described as a different direction taken by the matter, legal authorities are now handling the case.
He wrote:
“This matter has come up before, and because I am certain that these reports have no truth to them, I took the step of contacting the person involved myself to understand why she had previously made the statements she made.
“Musika confirmed in her own words and voice that she had never been physically intimate with me nor had a romantic relationship with me, and even asked me not to give the matter any weight.
“Since these allegations have now resurfaced and taken a different direction, the matter is now in the hands of the legal authorities and further action will be taken against Musika.
“I also urge the media and various individuals to refrain from spreading misleading information without being certain of the facts.”
Juma Jux’s statement comes days after he and his wife, Priscilla Ojo Mkambala, celebrated the first birthday of their son, Rakeem.
The singer’s response has since drawn attention online as he moves to address the paternity allegations through legal channels.
