Popular Nigerian streamer Peller has openly called out his parents after they showed up at his white wedding with their new partners, an act he said turned what was meant to be an intimate ceremony into something he never envisioned. The TikTok star, whose real name is Habeeb Hamzat, expressed his frustration during a livestream on Wednesday, just days after tying the knot with his partner Jarvis on August 8.
According to Peller, he had specifically asked his family to keep the guest list small ahead of the wedding. Instead, both his mother and father showed up with their respective romantic partners, a decision that left him visibly upset. His parents, who have long separated, are said to have brought their new partners along without informing him beforehand.
Speaking candidly about the situation, Peller explained that his father arrived with his girlfriend while his mother came along with her boyfriend, a development he said completely shifted the tone of the day. He admitted that the experience left him overwhelmed, saying he had gone out of his way to plan things according to his wishes only for his family to disregard his instructions.
Peller Links Wedding Drama to Growing Up in a Polygamous Home
Beyond the immediate frustration of the day, Peller used the moment to reflect on the wider challenges tied to his upbringing. He noted that being raised in a polygamous family comes with its own set of complications, ones he feels rarely get discussed openly. According to him, the chaos that unfolded at his wedding was simply a reflection of dynamics he has had to navigate for most of his life.
His comments quickly gained traction online, with many social media users sympathising with his situation while others weighed in on the broader realities of blended and polygamous families in Nigeria. The streamer, known for his outspoken personality, did not hold back while addressing the matter, admitting that he remains upset with his parents even after the wedding celebrations have ended.
In the same livestream, Peller also touched on his family’s growing presence on social media, expressing frustration that nearly everyone around him, including his parents and siblings, had become increasingly active online. He argued that this constant exposure has placed unnecessary attention on their private lives, further complicating matters for him as a public figure already under scrutiny.
Wedding Still Draws Attention Online
Despite the drama surrounding his parents, Peller’s wedding to Jarvis has continued to generate massive interest online. Clips from the ceremony, including a widely circulated video of the groom sharing dollar notes with family members, have kept fans talking for days after the event. Many have praised his generosity toward his parents and in laws, even as conversations about the wedding’s family tension continue to trend alongside it.
The union between Peller and Jarvis has been closely followed by fans since their public relationship began, with the couple having earlier completed both a traditional bride price ceremony and a court wedding before the white wedding took place. Their journey, which has played out largely in public view, has made both figures increasingly prominent voices within Nigeria’s online entertainment space.
As reactions to his comments continue to circulate across social media, Peller’s remarks have reignited broader conversations around family expectations, personal boundaries, and the pressures of navigating major life events under public scrutiny, especially for content creators whose personal lives often become public property the moment cameras start rolling.
