Priscilla Ojo Stands Firm on Protecting Son's Privacy Amid Social Media Demands

Nigerian influencer Priscilla Ojo has publicly addressed her unwavering decision to keep her newborn son, Rakeem, shielded from public view on social media platforms. Despite persistent requests from her extensive follower base, the daughter of renowned Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo remains resolute in her choice to maintain her child's privacy.

Unbothered by Online Criticism

During a recent livestream session with popular TikToker Jarvis, also known as Amadou Elizabeth Aminata or Jadrolita, Priscilla Ojo made it clear that she is completely unaffected by negative comments from netizens. The wife of Tanzanian singer Juma Jux emphasized that she exercises full parental control over her son and will continue to hide his face until she personally deems the timing appropriate.

"If they like, they should drag me that I am hiding my son's face. I will hide his face. He's my son. When I'm ready, or when I feel like it's okay, I will reveal his face," Priscilla declared during the conversation.

Background and Previous Family Support

This is not the first time Priscilla Ojo has publicly supported family members amid controversies. Earlier this year, she defended her mother Iyabo Ojo following drama at the premiere of her film The Return of Arinzo on March 29. The event featured viral moments including Funke Akindele snubbing Toyin Abraham's greeting and Madam Saje ignoring Odunlade Adekola's attempt to greet her.

In a lengthy Instagram post at the time, Priscilla noted that controversies had followed her mother's movie announcement but expressed confidence that the film would succeed despite attempts to undermine Iyabo Ojo's plans.
