Prince Rakeem Mkambala, the adorable newborn son of Nollywood star Priscilla Ojo and Tanzanian music sensation Juma Jux, has made an extraordinary entrance into the world of social media by gaining over 50,000 followers on Instagram within just an hour of his birth, breaking the internet with love and excitement.
The joyful announcement of Rakeem’s arrival was made by his grandmother, Iyabo Ojo, who proudly revealed the news to her millions of fans and well-wishers. She shared a heartwarming photo of her daughter, Priscilla, cradling the healthy newborn in her arms at the hospital, with both mother and child looking radiant and in good spirits. The image quickly went viral, drawing thousands of congratulatory messages from fans, colleagues, and celebrities alike.
In addition to announcing the safe delivery, Iyabo Ojo also disclosed the creation of an official Instagram page for her grandson, Prince Rakeem. To the amazement of many, the page garnered a staggering 36,000 followers within the first 30 minutes of going live. The numbers continued to climb rapidly, crossing the 55,000 mark in less than an hour, making baby Rakeem one of the most-followed celebrity infants in Nigeria almost instantly after his birth.
This milestone has since sparked a wave of conversations across various social media platforms. Many fans and admirers expressed joy and showered blessings on the Ojo family, describing the love shown as a reflection of how much people adore Iyabo, Priscilla, and now baby Rakeem. On the other hand, some critics argued that the massive following is a sign of misplaced priorities, pointing out how Nigerians can rally around celebrity culture with so much passion while often neglecting pressing societal issues.
An X user, @your_Favxparte, openly mocked the development, writing: “36,400 mumu and jobless people. Na Tinubu and the likes really fit them.” Similarly, another critic, @workof_Godd, commented: “Nigerian people too mumu 😂,” sparking debates among netizens who defended the family and insisted that people are free to celebrate moments of joy however they choose.
Despite the mixed reactions, one thing remains clear: Prince Rakeem has already become a sensation, and his arrival has captured the hearts of thousands. His record-breaking Instagram growth continues to trend, cementing his place as one of the fastest-growing celebrity baby accounts in Nigeria. As fans eagerly await more updates from his parents and grandmother, the little prince has undoubtedly become a symbol of joy, unity, and social media excitement in the entertainment world.
