Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala, the grandson of Nollywood star actress, Iyabo Ojo, has taken the internet by storm, becoming a viral sensation just hours after his arrival into the world. The newborn’s popularity skyrocketed as he impressively amassed over 100,000 Instagram followers within his first 24 hours of life, a feat that highlights the massive love and attention surrounding his birth.
Remarkably, Rakeem had already crossed the 50,000 followers mark within the first hour of his birth, leaving many social media users stunned at the unprecedented growth of his online fan base. His Instagram handle quickly became one of the most followed baby accounts in Nigeria within such a short period, sparking conversations online about celebrity influence and the power of social media fame.
Earlier, Gistreel reported that Iyabo Ojo joyfully announced the birth of her grandson through a heartwarming Instagram post. The actress shared a touching photo where she cradled the newborn, although the baby’s face was carefully hidden, keeping fans in suspense while still celebrating the joyous occasion. The news immediately went viral, drawing waves of congratulatory messages from fans, friends, and fellow celebrities across the globe.
The announcement came shortly after another major celebration within the family circle — Priscilla Ojo and Tanzanian singer Juma Jux’s gender reveal party in Tanzania. The glamorous event had already kept fans buzzing, and the baby’s arrival further added to the joyous season of celebrations for the Ojo family. Interestingly, the couple had earlier revealed their pregnancy on July 4, 2025, via a joint Instagram post, marking a significant milestone in their relationship and public journey together.
