“Hmm… okay, okay… not bad. It’s soft, spicy—kind of dry though,” he said with a smirk, mid-chew.
He added, jokingly:

The artist gave it a “6.5 out of 10”, noting that while it wasn’t mind-blowing, it definitely had that nostalgic street-snack appeal.
Fans across both Nigeria and Tanzania filled the comment sections with jokes, memes, and praise.
“He just unlocked level 2 of Nigerian street cred 😂”
“Now he just needs LaCasera to wash it down!”
Some even offered to mail him other Nigerian snacks to try, like kilishi, chin chin, and puff-puff.
Juma Jux, known for hits like Sugua and Enjoy, is currently on a media tour across West Africa—and it seems he’s embracing the culture one bite at a time.
“It’s simple, but I get the hype. If you’re on the go, it makes sense.”
One thing’s for sure — Jux has just made Gala cool again.
