A viral video showing Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola scrambling to get food at the lavish wedding of TikTok stars Peller and Jarvis has ignited a fierce online debate, with fans divided over whether her actions were justified or beneath a celebrity's dignity.
Video Captures Foluke's Food Struggle at Lekki Wedding
The footage, which spread rapidly across social media, captured Foluke seated beside fellow actress Omowunmi Ajiboye during the white wedding ceremony held in Lekki, Lagos, on August 1, 2026. As waiters moved through the hall distributing meals, Foluke was seen waving one down and visibly pressing to ensure her table received food, apparently for herself and someone seated nearby.
The clip triggered a wave of reactions online, ranging from amusement and criticism to staunch defense of the actress. Some social media users questioned her composure, while others argued that celebrities are human and deserve the same treatment as any guest.
Star-Studded Guest List at Peller and Jarvis's Wedding
The wedding itself was a grand affair. Peller, whose full name is Habeeb Hamzat Adelaja, and Jarvis, born Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, had already celebrated with a traditional ceremony in Benin City and a civil wedding earlier in the week before capping it off with the Lekki event.
The guest list read like a who's who of Nigerian entertainment and society. Nollywood stars including Iyabo Ojo, Eniola Badmus, Moyo Lawal, Aunty Ramota, and Jigan Baba Oja were present, alongside fuji legends Kwam 1 and Sule Alao Malaika. Tanzanian artist Juma Jux, Afrobeats musician Seun Kuti, and music executive Soso Soberekon also attended.
Content creators Geh Geh and Cute Abiola joined socialites Cubana Chief Priest, Pretty Mike of Lagos, and billionaire real estate mogul King Ochacho, making it one of the most talked-about weddings in recent memory.
Fans Split Over Foluke's Food Moment
Social media reactions were sharply divided. A user @yorubahood1 defended Foluke, writing: "I came across this trending clip of actress Foluke Daramola fighting over food. Some people said she didn't compose herself because she's a celebrity. Honestly, I see nothing wrong. The server didn't do well — how do you carry food over someone's head when people are seated? For someone who bought Aso ebi worth almost 1 million naira, that's unacceptable. Even a common man would react. I know you people are dragging her just because she's a celebrity. But celebrities are human too."
Another user, @leckzycrypto, joked: "E must happen o.. I no go chop keh.. wey I buy that amount cloth?" @Saadabidemi echoed the sentiment, writing: "Person buy 1m cloth make she no fight for food ke ???"
However, not everyone was sympathetic. @Oreofe__Femi observed: "She no even display composure..??" while @ifyumez00 questioned: "Why are these ladies behaving like they can't do without the food?"
Some kept things light, like @millie_kash2: "What's the joy of going to wedding without eating Jollof rice… Abeg make them give her another plate" and @temi0910 offered a practical take: "If he reach your turn make Dem carry food fly over your head."
Seun Kuti's Walkout Adds to Wedding Drama
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Seun Kuti stormed out of the wedding after a controversial remark by the master of ceremonies. The joke allegedly compared Wizkid's fame to that of Seun's father, Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, which struck a nerve with the singer.
Dressed in the event's official attire, Seun declared, "We are in the wrong place," before leaving, sparking widespread debate and sympathy online.
