Digital creator Peller has shaved his head in a show of solidarity with his newly wedded wife, Jarvis, who faced intense online backlash over her appearance. The gesture came after Jarvis was subjected to severe criticism and insults for sporting a bald head following their white wedding in Lagos last Saturday.
Peller's Surprise Gesture in the Barbershop
In a video shared online this morning, Peller filmed himself inside a barbershop, explaining that he wanted to surprise his wife by matching her hairstyle. He said, “I want to barb skodo to surprise my wife. Because she barb skodo, everybody is abusing her and talking a lot about her.”
The streamer's decision to shave his own head was a direct response to the negative comments directed at Jarvis. By adopting the same look, Peller aimed to show his support and deflect the online abuse.
