Tanzanian model and beauty influencer, Karen Bujulu, has finally broken her silence on her breakup with Bongo Flava singer Juma Jux, shutting down the narrative that she was unfaithful during their relationship. On Wednesday, June 4, Karen took to her Instagram story to declare that she was, in fact, the one betrayed.
Her post comes just days after Juma Jux’s headline-making wedding to Priscilla Ojo, daughter of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo. With old rumors of infidelity resurfacing, fans began to drag Karen back into the spotlight, prompting her to clarify why she walked away from the relationship.
Karen revealed she endured heartbreak in silence and forgave countless times before she reached her breaking point. “I didn’t cheat. I was the one who got cheated on. I stayed too long. Forgave till I couldn’t anymore… and then I left,” she wrote, putting an end to months of speculation.
Though she didn’t name Priscilla directly, her timing has sparked massive online debate about whether the singer overlapped relationships or simply moved on too quickly. Fans of Karen have rallied in support, hailing her honesty and resilience.
The influencer emphasized that she has moved on and has no intention of revisiting the past, urging fans and blogs to “stop dragging her name into chapters” she has already closed. Her statement has since gone viral, triggering discussions on healing, boundaries, and public pressure in celebrity relationships.
Sources close to the ex-couple claimed their split occurred quietly late last year, well before Juma Jux’s engagement became public. Still, Karen’s emotional revelation has reignited conversations around loyalty and image curation in the African entertainment scene.
While Juma Jux basks in his new love story with Priscilla Ojo, Karen’s raw and honest confession is now dominating the social conversation across East and West Africa—and it’s clear she’s not letting heartbreak define her narrative.
