Iyabo Ojo’s Grandson Rakeem Mkambala Hits 100,000 Instagram Followers Within Hours of Birth Announcement

Baby Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala, the newborn son of Nigerian influencer Priscilla Ojo and Tanzanian music star Juma Jux, has become an overnight sensation, amassing over 100,000 Instagram followers just hours after his birth was announced.

The child, who made his Instagram debut on Sunday via the handle @rakeem_mk, has quickly captured the attention of fans in Nigeria, Tanzania, and beyond—despite his face not yet being revealed.

Rakeem was born on August 24, 2025, in Canada, where Priscilla is currently residing. The announcement came from Iyabo Ojo, the proud grandmother and Nollywood star, who celebrated her new title online, calling herself the “sexiest grandma in town.”

Priscilla confirmed the birth via Instagram on Monday, writing:

“Prince Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala….24.08.25.”

The post put an end to weeks of speculation about whether she had already delivered in secret.

Although Rakeem’s account currently features only a collaborative post with his mother and is managed by his parents, his follower count has already surpassed 112,000, fueled by his high-profile family ties and widespread media attention.

His multicultural identity—Nigerian, Tanzanian, and Canadian—has also sparked admiration, with fans already referring to him as a “global baby star.”

Iyabo Ojo, who is still in Canada with her daughter and grandson, revealed that the family will return to Nigeria soon for an official naming ceremony in Lagos.

Since the announcement, a flood of congratulatory messages has poured in from celebrities, fans, and well-wishers across social media.
