A fresh wave of online speculation has hit the Nigerian social media space, centred on popular TikTok personalities Jarvis, also known as Jadrolita, and her former colleague, Peller. The drama unfolded after a video of Jarvis with an unidentified man went viral, quickly followed by a bold declaration from Peller about his future dating preferences.
Viral Video Fuels New Dating Rumours For Jarvis
The controversy began when a short clip from a social event in Lagos started trending on X, formerly Twitter. The video, which captured TikTok star Jarvis in a shimmering blue-green gown, showed her in close interaction with an older man dressed in traditional attire. The nature of their exchange immediately sparked rumours that Jarvis had moved on and was dating again, mere weeks after her much-publicised breakup with fellow content creator Peller.
Netizens were quick to dissect the footage, with many jumping to conclusions about the identity of the mystery man. The timing of the video, coming so soon after the end of her previous relationship, made it a hot topic for gossip across social media platforms.
Peller's Stark Declaration: "Done With Nigerian Ladies"
In the wake of the viral video, Peller, who returned to live streaming on Friday, January 9, 2026, made a significant announcement that further fuelled the online discourse. During his broadcast, Peller vowed to avoid dating Nigerian ladies in the future.
He revealed his new approach, stating that he would instead opt for partners from other African countries. This declaration sent shockwaves through their fanbase, with many interpreting it as a direct reaction to his past relationship with Jarvis and the recent rumours surrounding her.
This incident follows closely on the heels of another edited video that previously trended, showing Peller locking lips with influencer King Mitchy, which also sparked its own set of relationship speculations online.
Mixed Reactions Flood Social Media
The online community reacted with a mix of amusement, criticism, and scepticism to the unfolding drama. While some users eagerly embraced the narrative of new romances, others were quick to debunk the claims.
Key reactions from netizens include:
- Users like nwabishop and Naijagistblog_ claiming the mystery man is simply Jarvis's senior brother, accusing others of spreading fake news.
- Commenters such as powerchibueze criticising Jarvis's attitude post-breakup, suggesting she became arrogant after joining the "RATEL movement."
- Observers like CChedovsky noting the seemingly petty battle, commenting, "Peller dey pepper Jarvis Jarvis dey pepper Peller. We will see who will win this battle."
- Others, including Dreamahsfx, opining that Jarvis's dating life is now "completely ruined" due to a lack of management after finding love early.
- Some fans, like Kcywayne, defending Jarvis, urging people to leave their "ai alone" and verify information before posting.
Peller had previously confirmed the end of his romantic relationship with Jarvis, clarifying that they are now just friends. He also spoke against bullying, mentioning that he had been in touch with Jarvis’s family, who were reportedly angry with him.
The ongoing saga between these two TikTok celebrities continues to captivate their audience, turning their personal lives into public spectacle and fueling endless discussions about love, breakups, and moving on in the digital age.
