TikTok star Amadou “Jarvis” Aminata has opened up on why her wedding with fellow content creator Habeeb “Peller” Hamzat has not taken place, despite their engagement.
Peller proposed to Jarvis in December 2024, and by July she confirmed the engagement on Channels Television, expressing confidence about their relationship.
But during a recent TikTok live session, Jarvis explained that Peller’s age and situation were the main reasons for the delay.
“I’m old enough to get married but his (Peller’s) age is slowing me down. If he were older than me by now, we’d have married,” she said. “One day, Peller could change his mind and say I’m too old for him and it’s true. I don’t want to pressure him to get married at this age. No, that would mean I have evil plans for him.”
She added that she planned to marry in three years but was also worried about Peller’s financial stability. “Peller’s life wasn’t stable; he didn’t have a constant source of income. Peller’s income kept coming and going,” she noted.
Peller, however, dismissed age as the problem. He said his fear was that Jarvis’ parents might interfere in their relationship.
“It’s a lie. Amaka daddy can wake up one day and say to Jarvis’ mother, ‘I want to take Jarvis away from Lagos. They can take her at any time’. She’s not safe. She likes me so much, but she’s acting as if she’s up to 30 years old,” he said.
The couple previously went viral after a video showed Peller pushing Jarvis at a Seyi Vibes concert in Lagos. Jarvis later explained that it was not abuse, while Peller insisted the video was taken out of context, saying he was only protecting her from area boys demanding money.
