Popular Nigerian TikTok star Peller has paid Jarvis’ bride price in a traditional ceremony in Benin City, Edo State, declaring himself “officially off the market.” The content creator shared a video of the introduction on Instagram on June 21, 2026, describing it as the start of a new chapter.
‘A beautiful journey has officially begun’
Peller, whose real name is Habeeb Hamzat, completed the rites at the hometown of his fiancée, Elizabeth Aminata, known online as Jarvis. “Today, I proudly paid the bride price of the woman I love,” he wrote. “She said ‘yes’ to forever, and now it’s time to build our future together. Officially off the market.”
Photos and clips from the event showed the couple in coordinated traditional attire, with Peller in a white shirt, George wrapper and coral beads, and Jarvis in a red wrapper, coral accessories and a beaded crown. The colourful introduction quickly spread across social platforms.
From a Ghana proposal to Benin rites
The ceremony came just weeks after Peller proposed to Jarvis on June 3 in Ghana, an event that generated huge engagement online. The pair, together since 2024, have built one of the internet’s most-followed young relationships through their viral collaborations and pranks.
In many Nigerian cultures, the payment of bride price is a key milestone, symbolising the formal acceptance of a union by both families and paving the way for a wedding. For two creators who have shared much of their journey publicly, it was a significant and very visible step.
Not everyone is convinced
The news drew congratulations as well as criticism. Fellow content creator GehGeh questioned the timing, arguing that financial success alone is not enough reason to marry. “Y’all are justifying his act with ‘he has the money’,” he wrote, suggesting Peller, still young, had more growing to do before settling down.
Many supporters disagreed, flooding the couple’s pages with goodwill messages and prayers. The debate mirrored a familiar online divide whenever young, high-profile creators take major life steps in full public view.
What comes next
With the traditional rites complete, attention now turns to the couple’s wedding plans. Fans who have followed their story from collaboration to courtship are already watching for details of the next stage.
For Peller and Jarvis, the bride price ceremony was more than a cultural obligation; it was a public declaration of commitment, and another headline-making moment for two of Nigeria’s most closely followed online personalities.
The proposal in Ghana, staged at a beachside setting, had already set social media abuzz, with fans sharing clips of an emotional Jarvis accepting the ring.
Their rapid rise mirrors a wider trend in which Nigeria’s biggest TikTok and streaming personalities now command the kind of audiences and headlines once reserved for traditional celebrities.
