(In Nigeria) Jarvis Faces Public Backlash After Peller’s Dismissive “Get Out” at Toyin Abraham’s Iyalode Premiere

 

Jarvis, a notable figure in Nigeria, has become the center of widespread controversy following a viral incident at the premiere of Toyin Abraham’s movie Iyalode on June 1, 2025. During the event, a video captured Peller publicly dismissing Jarvis with the words “get out,” prompting a wave of outrage across social media platforms like X. Many Nigerians have condemned Peller’s actions, accusing him of emotional abuse and disrespect toward Jarvis. Critics have further expressed concern that Jarvis’s brand identity has been overshadowed, with some arguing that she is now primarily perceived in relation to Peller, describing her treatment as degrading. The incident has sparked heated discussions online, with netizens debating issues of respect, relationships, and personal agency in the public eye.

Jarvis (Elizabeth Aminata Amadu) and Peller (Habeeb Hamzat) are prominent Nigerian TikTok creators whose relationship has captivated audiences. Jarvis gained fame through her AI-inspired character 'Jadrolita', while Peller is known for his energetic live streams and comedic content.  

They met on TikTok in 2023, and their collaborations quickly evolved into a romantic relationship. Despite public scrutiny, they have supported each other personally and professionally, including during Jarvis's recovery from jaw surgery.  Their partnership continues to influence their individual brands and the Nigerian social media landscape.
