Iyabo Ojo Celebrates Grandson Rakim as He Receives Canadian Passport
Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has expressed joy after her grandson, Rakim Ayomide Mkambala, officially received his Canadian passport.
Rakim, born on August 24, 2025, in Canada to Priscilla Ojo, Iyabo’s daughter, and Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, reached the milestone less than a month after his birth.
Sharing the news on Instagram, the proud grandmother posted a video featuring baby clothing decorated with Canadian symbols alongside the passport. In another clip, she gushed:
“Guys, I’m excited. Grandma is excited because our cutest, finest, star boy, Prince Rakim Ayomide Mkambala, has collected his Canadian passport. Tanzania, are you ready? Asante!”
Rakim has already become a social media sensation. His Instagram page, @rakeem_mk, managed by his parents, attracted over 100,000 followers within hours of its launch, drawing fans from both.
The couple, who married earlier in 2025, first announced their pregnancy in July with a lavish gender-reveal celebration. The Canadian passport now underscores Rakim’s ties to Nigeria, Tanzania, and Canada, a heritage that fans and celebrities have been quick to celebrate with congratulatory messages online.
