A moment from Nigerian streamer Peller and his partner Jarvis’s traditional wedding has gone viral for all the wrong reasons, leaving guests in an uncomfortable silence that quickly became the talk of social media.
Habeeb Adelaja, widely known as Peller, and Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, better known as Jarvis, tied the knot in a lavish traditional ceremony held in Lagos on August 1, 2026.
The celebration was every bit the grand affair fans had anticipated, until an unexpected moment brought proceedings to a standstill.
When the groom’s family entered the hall singing and dancing, the MC paused to follow Yoruba custom, which requires the bride’s father to come forward and formally welcome the groom’s family before they are permitted to take their seats.
The MC called out repeatedly, growing more insistent with each attempt, saying:
“Mummy, where is daddy? Pls help me call the bride’s father, the groom’s family is here to pay homage before they can be allowed to go and sit. In Yoruba land, if the bride’s father is not seated… Bride’s father, your attention is needed.”
Despite the repeated calls, the hall remained silent and nobody stepped forward to fill the role.
The awkward episode quickly sparked conversation online, with many viewers pointing out that Jarvis had previously spoken openly about not having a relationship with her father.
Others directed their frustration at the MC for failing to establish these details ahead of the event, arguing that such oversight should have been avoided through proper planning.
