Nigerian content creator Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, is once again dominating conversation online — this time for how he plans to broadcast his own wedding. In a car selfie video making the rounds on X, the streamer — born May 10, 2005, making him 21 — claims he turned down a major offer from DSTV to air the ceremony, insisting his fans will instead catch every moment on Twitch, YouTube and TikTok.
“DSTV is begging me that they want to stream my wedding,” Peller says in the clip, “but I’m sorry DSTV, I’ll be streaming my wedding on Twitch, YouTube & TikTok. It will be the biggest wedding out of Africa!”
It’s a classic Peller move — brash, funny, and built for virality. The Ikorodu-born streamer has spent the past few years turning sarcasm, high-energy livestreams and unfiltered personality into one of Nigeria’s biggest online followings, and his wedding announcement is proving no different.
From TikTok Rivalry to Real Romance
Long before wedding bells, Peller and his bride-to-be, Jarvis — born Amadou Elizabeth Aminata and also known online by the stage name Jadrolita — were two of Nigeria’s most recognizable young creators in their own right. Jarvis built her name on viral comedy skits and her signature “human AI” or “robot” persona, while Peller rose through livestreaming, comedy and collaborations with major names in Nigerian music and entertainment.
The pair’s relationship became public knowledge in late 2024, when they began appearing in content together, and things moved quickly from there:
- The couple met in person around November 2024, after months of online interaction.
- Peller proposed during a romantic trip to Ghana.
- He traveled to Benin City to complete traditional marriage rites, including payment of the bride price.
- Jarvis was formally introduced to Peller’s family in Ikorodu, Lagos.
- On July 22, 2026, the couple shared official pre-wedding photos on Instagram, captioning the post: “These are more than just pictures, they’re memories before the big day. Our hearts are full, our smiles are real, and we’re counting down to forever.”
The white wedding is officially set for August 1, 2026. In recent weeks, rumours circulated online claiming Jarvis was pregnant after fans speculated about a visible baby bump in some photos, but those claims have not been confirmed and were later dismissed.
Peller has been candid about what’s driving the fast-moving romance. Speaking on The Honest Bunch podcast and in subsequent interviews, he explained that his own parents never married, and that building a different legacy with Jarvis matters to him. “I want to break a family curse,” he said, describing marriage as an essential step toward a stable household — a notable contrast to the loud, chaotic persona fans see on his streams, which he has described as largely a performance for the camera.
Going Big — Cows, Aso Ebi and a ₦10 Million Pledge
True to form, Peller isn’t approaching the wedding quietly. Recent buzz around the event includes:
- The reported presentation of 12 cows as part of the traditional wedding preparations — a significant cultural display in many Nigerian communities.
- Tiered aso ebi (official wedding attire) pricing that has sparked heavy reaction online: ₦350,000 for four yards, ₦700,000 for eight yards, and ₦1 million for twelve yards. About 400 guests are expected to wear the fabric.
- Jarvis separately revealed her own aso ebi — covering both the traditional and white wedding looks — comes to ₦5 million, joking during a livestream that anyone who couldn’t afford it shouldn’t plan on attending.
- While presenting the official aso ebi to celebrity businessman Cubana Chief Priest, Peller received a pledge of ₦10 million toward the wedding, with Cubana Chief Priest quipping that he’d want a refund “if the wedding shake.”
- The couple also visited influencer Priscilla Ojo and her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, personally delivering the aso ebi and inviting them to the ceremony. Both admitted planning the event had been stressful, with Peller pleading, “You will come ooo. I beg you, you will come to my wedding. I have told everybody you are coming to my wedding.” Juma Jux gifted the couple dollar notes in return.
- Peller turning down certain offers of support tied to traditional worship practices, reportedly to keep the celebration aligned with his Christian faith.
- He’s also spoken about the effort going into preparing for married life more broadly, revealing he’s been quietly attending private marriage counselling in Ikorodu. “I’ve been attending marriage counselling privately to learn how to treat Jarvis properly,” he said in a livestream, adding that it’s part of why he’s been less active on social media in recent weeks.
Streaming Over Satellite
The DSTV snub fits a pattern for Peller, whose brand has always leaned into direct, unfiltered access for fans rather than traditional broadcast media. By keeping the wedding on Twitch, YouTube and TikTok, he’s betting that his millions of followers would rather watch live and interact in real time — through comments, reactions and shared hype — than tune in passively on cable.
It’s a bold statement in a media landscape where television has traditionally been the default for major Nigerian cultural events, and it underscores just how much power creator-led platforms now hold in shaping how these moments are consumed.
Not everyone is guaranteed a warm invite, either — Peller has publicly called out Afrobeats star Davido over his absence from the guest list conversation, adding another layer of drama and headlines to an already buzzing lead-up.
A Sign of Where Nigerian Entertainment Is Headed
Beyond the drama and the headlines, Peller and Jarvis’s wedding says something bigger about where Nigerian entertainment is moving. Both built their fame entirely online — Peller through livestreaming and comedic sketches, Jarvis through short-form skits — without ever needing a record label, a TV contract, or a traditional media gatekeeper. Their combined reach across TikTok, YouTube and Twitch now rivals, and in some cases surpasses, the audiences commanded by legacy Nigerian broadcasters.
That shift is exactly why a decision like snubbing DSTV resonates. It’s not just a flex; it’s a statement about who holds the cards in Nigeria’s entertainment economy today. A decade ago, a major cultural event like a celebrity wedding would have been unthinkable without television coverage. Now, platforms built for direct fan interaction — with live chat, real-time reactions and no ad breaks controlled by a broadcaster — are becoming the default stage for the country’s biggest creator-driven moments.
Industry watchers have noted similar trends among other young Nigerian creators, who increasingly treat their platforms not just as a place to post content, but as the primary venue for major life events, brand activations and even business deals. Peller and Jarvis’s wedding may end up becoming a reference point for how far that shift has come.
What to Expect on August 1
Whether you find it endearing or over-the-top, Peller and Jarvis have turned their entire relationship — from their first meeting to the proposal, bride price ceremony, and the many rumours that have surrounded them — into a running story that Nigerians and the broader African diaspora have followed in real time. Their wedding is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about entertainment events of the year, blending traditional Nigerian wedding customs with the unmistakable energy of internet culture.
Expect high production value, unscripted moments, plenty of memes, and — if Peller has his way — record-breaking numbers across Twitch, YouTube and TikTok simultaneously. Africa, get ready. The livestream is coming.
This story is developing. GTV Daily will continue to update this article as more details from the couple and their team are confirmed.
