Celebrity fashion designer Seyi Vodi has pledged to sponsor the education of Nigerian streamer Peller from his first year until graduation, offering the gesture as a wedding gift. The promise came during a visit by Peller and his fiancée, Jarvis, who presented their wedding aso ebi to Vodi ahead of their August wedding.
Vodi's Educational Gift
During the meeting, Vodi encouraged Peller to return to school, emphasizing the benefits of formal education. In a video circulating online, Vodi stated, "I will pay your school fees from 100 level until you graduate. That is my wedding gift to you." Peller and Jarvis expressed visible excitement over the offer.
Mixed Reactions from Fans
The gesture sparked divided opinions on social media. Some praised Vodi for his thoughtful gift, while others argued the money could have been better spent on supporting orphanages or less privileged individuals. Commenter @adorable_nasa defended Vodi, saying, "Offering or gifting people sometimes doesn’t mean they don’t have or can’t afford the gift, who says the rich don’t deserve favor, love, gifts, or encouragement." Others, like @dfmchamp, noted, "There are street orphanage homes who need these scholarships... it seems unfair, Peller can afford it himself."
Broader Context
This development follows recent controversy involving rapper YCee, who used Peller as an example of the "olodo uprising" in Nigeria, referring to the rise of brain-rot content. YCee defended his remarks during an interview with Cool FM Lagos, stating he would not apologize for mentioning Peller's name. The streamer continues to trend over the comment, adding to the public discourse surrounding his career and educational background.
