In a remarkable display of digital fame, newborn Prince Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala, son of Nigerian influencer Priscilla Ojo and Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, garnered over 100,000 Instagram followers within hours of his birth announcement.
The baby boy, born on Sunday, August 24, 2025, in Canada, has quickly become a social media sensation, reflecting the widespread excitement surrounding his arrival.
Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, now a proud grandmother, shared the joyous news on her Instagram, posting a heartfelt photo of herself cradling baby Rakeem alongside her daughter, Priscilla, in a Canadian hospital. She captioned the image,
“Say hello to the latest sexiest grandma in town; my grandson is the cutest.”
The baby’s Instagram account, @rakeem_mk, managed by his parents, features collaborative posts with Priscilla and has attracted a substantial following from fans in Nigeria, Tanzania, and beyond. Despite the absence of clear photos of Rakeem’s face, the account’s follower count soared past 100,000 within hours, making him one of the fastest-growing celebrity babies on the platform.
The family’s joyous occasion has been met with an outpouring of congratulatory messages from fans, celebrities, and well-wishers across social media platforms.
