TikTok stars Habeeb Hazmat, aka Peller, and Elizabeth Amaduo, popularly known as Jarvis, have recently grabbed attention due to both their relationship and their rising careers as influencers. The pair, who have become prominent figures in Nigeria’s social media scene, made headlines after Peller’s double win at the Pulse Influencer Awards, where he dedicated his awards to Jarvis, sparking both admiration and criticism online.
While some fans were charmed by the public display of affection between the two, others expressed concerns about Jarvis seemingly stepping back from her successful career as an AI skit maker to focus on her relationship with Peller. This piece explores their recent journey, addressing the highs and lows of their public and personal lives.
Peller’s Double Win and Public Display of Affection: Peller made a significant mark last weekend by winning two prestigious awards at the Pulse Influencer Awards: TikTok Influencer of the Year and Next Gen Influencer of the Year. One of the highlights of the event was his heartfelt dedication of the awards to his girlfriend, Jarvis, followed by a passionate kiss that grabbed the attention of onlookers.
For some, this public gesture symbolized the couple’s love and shared success, but it also sparked a debate on social media about Jarvis’ career choices and the direction she has taken since becoming involved with Peller.
Criticism of Jarvis’ Career Shift: One particularly critical voice on X (formerly Twitter), @UnkleAyo, expressed disappointment in Jarvis’ apparent shift from her career as an AI content creator to what he described as “reducing herself to just being Peller’s girlfriend.” According to him, Jarvis had previously found an “untapped niche” in creating AI-themed content, which quickly gained her a following and set her apart in the Nigerian social media landscape.
The user pointed out how rare and valuable such a niche is, and lamented that she seemed to have abandoned her unique content to take on a more supportive role in her partner’s rise to fame. His comments fueled a broader discussion, with some agreeing that Jarvis’ talent was being underutilized, while others defended her decisions.
Peller’s Response to Criticism: Unhappy with the criticism directed at Jarvis, Peller took to social media to respond in an expletive-laden live stream. He blasted @UnkleAyo for his remarks, defending Jarvis and their relationship. Peller’s emotional outburst demonstrated his strong feelings about the backlash, as he stood up for his girlfriend against those who questioned her decisions.
Jarvis Opens Up About Health Issues: Adding context to her break from posting AI-themed content, Jarvis revealed that her absence from creating videos wasn’t because of her relationship, but due to a health issue. She disclosed that what she initially thought was a tooth problem turned out to be a tumor in her jaw. The content creator explained that she was undergoing medical treatment and awaiting results after a biopsy. The condition, which she is still battling, has affected her ability to create content and is a significant reason for her stepping back from her online presence.
Jarvis’ candid revelation sheds light on the personal struggles she has been facing, putting into perspective her reduced activity on TikTok and other platforms. Her health issue has clearly been a major challenge, and fans have since rallied behind her, offering support and prayers for her recovery.
Inspiration Behind Jarvis’ AI Content: Jarvis, named after the AI system in the popular “Iron Man” movie franchise (Just A Rather Intelligent System), is known for her unique AI-themed skits, inspired by the robotic style of Canadian social media personality, Pinky Doll. Jarvis brought this creative format to the Nigerian TikTok scene, quickly gaining attention for something different and fresh.
A graduate of Accounting from Ambrose Alli University in Edo State, Jarvis has collaborated with other well-known TikTok creators like Mr. Heelarious and Lord Lamba, and has also featured in movies such as A Weekend Away. Her innovative approach and distinct content style made her a standout figure in Nigeria’s entertainment space, fueling her rapid rise to fame.
Peller’s Rise to Fame: Habeeb Hazmat, aka Peller, emerged as a TikTok sensation around 2021 and quickly built a large following. He set a record for the highest-viewed live streams in Africa, with one stream reaching 76,000 views, surpassing his earlier record of 60,000 views in a collaboration with Nigerian music star, Olamide. Peller’s achievements extend beyond TikTok, as he was named the Best Content Creator at the Trace Awards and Festival in 2024, further solidifying his place as a leading influencer.
While both Peller and Jarvis have faced their share of criticism, they remain two of Nigeria’s most successful and influential social media personalities. Jarvis’ health struggles have played a significant role in her reduced presence, offering a deeper understanding of her recent choices, while Peller continues to grow his career as a top influencer. Their relationship, often scrutinized, is simply one part of their broader success stories. Together, they have captured the attention of millions, navigating both professional achievements and personal challenges.
