Peller Bars Bloggers, Caps White Wedding Guests At 100
Nigerian TikTok streamer and content creator Peller has set strict attendance limits for his white wedding to fellow creator Jarvis, restricting the guest list to between 80 and 100 people and effectively barring bloggers from the ceremony, a decision he tied directly to what he described as an overwhelming presence of cameras at their traditional wedding days earlier.
Peller, whose real name is Habeeb Hamzat, announced the guest cap in a video shared on social media on Sunday, a day after he and his partner, Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, known as Jarvis, held their traditional wedding in Lekki, Lagos State, on Saturday, August 1, 2026. The white wedding is scheduled for the following Saturday, August 8, 2026.
“All those bloggers, I don’t know who brought them. I think it’s the event planner person that brought them. I don’t know why bloggers go plenty,” Peller said, questioning how content creators outnumbered invited guests at the earlier event.
He described footage from the traditional ceremony that showed attendees crowding the couple with recording devices. “I see one video now, everybody giant pack. Holding phone, big, big, big like this from up. Everywhere surrounded with phone,” he said.
Despite the frustration, Peller acknowledged that the traditional wedding was a success. “But the wedding was a great one. I enjoyed it,” he said, before stressing that the follow up ceremony would be markedly smaller. “But my white wedding is just 100 people or 80 people,” he stated.
The traditional ceremony, which followed earlier bride price rites completed in Jarvis’s hometown of Benin City, Edo State, in June, and a civil court wedding in Lagos on July 29, drew a large turnout of entertainers, skit makers, musicians and social media personalities, with footage of the event trending widely across Nigerian digital platforms. It formed the second of what has been reported as a three stage wedding process culminating in the white wedding.
Peller and Jarvis have built a joint online following of several million across TikTok, YouTube and other platforms over the past few years, with their relationship content, livestreams and comedy collaborations turning their romance into one of the most closely tracked storylines in Nigeria’s creator economy. That visibility, industry observers note, has increasingly extended to major personal milestones, with weddings, engagements and other life events among the country’s top digital creators now routinely unfolding as large scale, publicly documented occasions rather than private family affairs.
The tension between that model of relationship led content and a couple’s desire for a private ceremony is not new among Nigerian influencers, several of whom have in the past complained publicly about uninvited content creators turning up at personal events to record for their own pages, sometimes securing entry by purchasing the event’s aso ebi. Peller’s comments reflect that recurring friction, coming at a moment when his union with Jarvis has become one of the most widely covered creator weddings of the year.
Attention within Nigeria’s entertainment and digital media circles now turns to how the reduced guest list and blogger restriction will be enforced on August 8, given the scale of public interest the couple’s earlier ceremonies have already generated, and whether the approach signals a broader shift in how high profile online personalities manage the boundary between public brand and private life going forward.
