Popular Nigerian streamer and content creator Peller has sparked heated online debate after revealing that most of the US dollar notes sprayed at his recent wedding with Jarvis were counterfeit.
In a livestream, Peller explained that he took the cash to the bank after the ceremony only to discover a large portion was fake. “I went to the bank after my wedding to change the dollars, and most of the money was fake,” he said. While acknowledging that some guests gave genuine notes, he added that he could identify those who offered real cash: “The people that gave me real money, I know them.”
The revelation quickly flooded social media. Many users slammed the “fake life” culture and clout-chasing that often defines high-profile Nigerian celebrations.

Comments criticised guests for preferring flashy fake dollars over genuine gestures of love or support with real money—or none at all. Others joked about counterfeiters now operating at celebrity wedding halls rather than market squares.
A different set of reactions questioned Peller’s motives. Some suggested the claim could be a clever way to downplay the true amount of money received and avoid tax scrutiny.
Here are some mixed reactions from fans:
