PELLER REVEALS HE SPENT OVER ₦300M ON HIS WEDDING— AND THE INTERNET HAS THOUGHTS

Nigerian content creator Habeeb Hamzat, better known as Peller, has confirmed what many suspected after weeks of viral wedding content: the celebration wasn’t cheap. In a TikTok post, the streamer wrote simply, “300million plus gone for wedding,” confirming that his marriage to fellow creator Elizabeth Amadou — known online as Jarvis — came with a price tag north of ₦300 million.

The figure caps off weeks of celebration that unfolded in stages. The couple held their civil wedding in July, followed by a traditional ceremony on August 1, and a white wedding on August 8, each drawing massive attention from Nigerian social media. Peller had earlier explained that he kept the white wedding more private than the traditional one, citing the overwhelming presence of cameras and bloggers at the first event as his reason for scaling things back for the church ceremony.

Reaction to the ₦300 million figure was swift and pointed less at the spending itself than at whether it paid off. Followers online joked that he’d “spent 300 million and collected a 400 million house,” a nod to reports that the couple received a mansion worth roughly ₦400 million from a billionaire well-wisher during the celebrations. Other commenters echoed the same sentiment — that the wedding likely generated far more in gifts and exposure than it cost him.

The spending reveal follows a string of headline-grabbing moments from the celebrations, including a widely shared story about bank tellers rejecting nearly $30,000 in U.S. dollar bills sprayed on Peller during the traditional ceremony after flagging the notes as counterfeit. Despite all the extravagance surrounding the event, Peller has pushed back on suggestions that he’s now a wealthy man, insisting in a viral video: “Stop saying I’m rich. I’m just a poor boy from Ikorodu.”
