Popular TikTok couple Habeeb Hamzat, known as Peller, and Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, also known as Jarvis or Jadrolita, have fired back at critics who condemned their recent wedding, particularly those who questioned their decision to marry at a young age. The couple, whose wedding generated significant social media buzz, shared a video of themselves dancing and singing a defiant message to their detractors. The trending video features the pair seemingly mocking those who questioned their union, with lyrics like, โ€œNa we dey love, na them dey cry. Go and make it. No dey jealous. Na we dey buy car. You will run mad. Stop thinking.โ€ This has been widely interpreted as a direct response to the criticism they have faced. Reactions on social media have been divided. Some users expressed concern, with one commenter suggesting a prenuptial agreement is necessary before marriage in the U.S. Others, however, offered support and well wishes. One user, Osinachi Wisdom, opined that the marriage would be successful, countering expectations of a breakup. Another user, Jay, praised their decision, stating, "They both saw and knew their shortcomings; still, they got married. Thatโ€™s real love. Marriage isnโ€™t about love alone but the ability to manage the shortcomings." PUNCH Online reports that Peller and Jarvis' wedding, held on Saturday, became a major topic of discussion on Nigerian social media. While many fans and fellow content creators sent congratulatory messages, a segment of Nigerians criticized the union, citing the couple's youth. Concerns were raised about their emotional and financial preparedness for marriage, with some labeling the decision as hasty. Despite the backlash, supporters have defended the couple, arguing that marriage should be founded on mutual understanding rather than age alone. The couple's latest video indicates they remain unfazed by the criticism, choosing instead to celebrate their relationship.

Na we dey love, na them dey cry. Go and make it. No dey jealous. Na we dey buy car. You will run mad. Stop thinking.
