A viral video capturing actress Iyabo Ojo and her son-in-law, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, as they sprayed money at the traditional wedding of content creator Peller and his bride Jarvis in Lagos has taken social media by storm. The clip, which is trending across multiple platforms, captures the moment the two celebrities stepped up to the stage to gift the couple with cash in their own unique styles.
Money Rain at Lagos Traditional Wedding
The traditional wedding ceremony was held on August 1, 2026, in Lagos, and attracted a constellation of celebrities and influencers. Guests arrived in coordinated aso ebi and gele, turning the event into one of the season’s most talked-about celebrity nuptials. The bride, Jarvis, and groom, Peller, who are both well-known content creators, exchanged vows in the presence of family, friends, and a host of public figures.
Among the guests were Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo and her son-in-law, Tanzanian music star Juma Jux, who is married to her daughter Priscilla. The pair’s presence added extra glamour to the occasion, and their money-spraying gestures quickly became the highlight of the celebration.
Iyabo Ojo's Signature Spraying Style
In the viral clip, Iyabo Ojo, widely known as "Queen Mother" to her fans, is seen walking to the stage with bundles of crisp mint naira notes. She methodically dropped the cash into the designated spraying box, one note at a time, a style that caught the attention of many viewers. Her deliberate approach to spraying money stood in stark contrast to the more spontaneous gesture that followed.
The actress’s action was not just about the money; it was a display of respect and affection for the couple. In Nigerian wedding culture, spraying money is a traditional way of celebrating and blessing the newlyweds. Iyabo’s calm and calculated method only added to the elegance she brought to the event.
Juma Jux Drops It All at Once
Following his mother-in-law’s lead, Juma Jux stepped onto the stage with his own collection of neatly arranged notes in mixed denominations. Unlike Iyabo Ojo, he dropped everything at once, a gesture that instantly drew cheers from the crowd. After making his offering, he warmly embraced both Peller and Jarvis before rejoining his wife, Priscilla, who was seated nearby.
Juma Jux, who is a celebrated musician in Tanzania, has a growing fan base in Nigeria, largely due to his marriage to Priscilla. His appearance at the wedding was a meeting of two entertainment worlds: Nollywood, Tanzanian music, and the digital content creation space. The contrasting spraying styles of the actress and her son-in-law became a major talking point online.
Online Reactions and Fan Comments
The video sparked a wave of commentary across social media platforms, with many users amused by the difference in how Iyabo Ojo and Juma Jux chose to spray the money. Some praised the duo for their generosity, while others cracked jokes about the scene. Notable comments included @Eraniya Osogbo, who wrote: "Women and paparazzi…. Men drop everything once, the other lady Dey drop am one one Dey count am?"
Another user, @Passcode echem, asked: "Where dem dey see mint??" while @UTDTIMMY07 reacted: "Be like this wedding na till tomorrow." The comment section was also not without cynicism, as @iam_pinkyvady wrote: "This guy wedding na just another money laundering skim." Despite the mixed reactions, the video continued to trend throughout the weekend.
Jarvis' Bridal Look Also Sparks Conversation
The wedding was not the only thing generating buzz. Earlier, Legit.ng had reported on a viral video showing Jarvis struggling to move comfortably in her fitted bridal gown during the ceremony. The clip drew widespread attention, with viewers focusing on how the tight dress affected her mobility. It also sparked discussions about her bridal makeup, as social media users shared mixed opinions on her overall look.
Despite the scrutiny, many fans defended the bride, noting that every bride deserves to shine on her big day. The conversation around Jarvis’s dress and makeup added another layer to the already widely discussed wedding, proving that the couple’s nuptials had captured the public’s imagination.
A Star-Studded Affair to Remember
Overall, the traditional wedding of Peller and Jarvis has become a landmark event in Nigerian celebrity culture. From the elegant guest list to the viral money-spraying moments and the lively online commentary, the ceremony delivered all the drama, glamour, and excitement that fans of the couple expected. The video of Iyabo Ojo and Juma Jux making it rain is likely to remain a memorable highlight for a long time.
