Nigerian TikTok sensations Habeeb Hamzat, known as Peller, and Elizabeth Amadu, known as Jarvis, are set to tie the knot in a white wedding ceremony today. The event will be accessible to fans worldwide via a livestream on Twitch and YouTube, catering to those unable to attend in person.
guests at the event would be capped at between 80 and 100, a sharp cut from the scale of their traditional wedding held on August 1.
Peller recently revealed that the guest list for the white wedding would be strictly limited to between 80 and 100 attendees. This decision stems from his frustration during their traditional wedding on August 1, where he claimed many guests acquired the "aso-ebi" fabric solely to record the event rather than to celebrate with the couple. Consequently, bloggers will be excluded from the upcoming ceremony, aiming for a more private affair focused on close family, friends, and select industry colleagues.
bloggers would not be welcome at todayโs ceremony, insisting on a more private setting restricted mainly to close family, friends and a select circle of industry colleagues.
Despite the disruptions at the traditional ceremony, Peller affirmed its overall success. He stated that the livestream would serve as an alternative for fans excluded by the tighter guest list, enabling supporters to follow the ceremony virtually. The couple's journey to the altar has been public, including Peller's June proposal in Ghana, followed by traditional rites in Benin City and a court wedding in Lagos on July 29, just before their traditional marriage in Lekki. The August 1 event saw numerous celebrities and influencers, and garnered significant attention after the couple received a N400 million mansion, cash gifts, and land from well-wishers. Viral moments from that ceremony included a socialite's mock medical-team entrance and a video of a bystander being hit by a car near the venue. The couple also faced online criticism regarding their age and readiness for marriage, which they have publicly dismissed. This backdrop, coupled with Peller's complaints about bloggers at the traditional ceremony, led to the decision for a smaller, invitation-only white wedding to conclude the #JP2026 celebrations.
