Davido Finally Celebrates Peller and Jarvis After Their White Wedding — Days After Backlash Over Soso Soberekon’s Ceremony
Davido is closing out one of the biggest wedding seasons in recent Nigerian influencer history with a warm public shoutout sending love to content creator Peller and his new wife, Jarvis, following their white wedding this past weekend.
The Message That Got Fans Talking
Taking to X, Davido kept it short and sweet, wishing the newlyweds a happy married life and adding that he loved seeing it, capping the post off with a red heart. Simple as it was, the message carried extra weight given the timing and given everything that’s played out around Davido’s wedding attendance in recent weeks.
Peller and Jarvis Officially Tie the Knot
The post came just after Peller held the final leg of his wedding ceremony to Jarvis on Saturday, August 8. The white wedding capped off what had already been one of the most talked-about celebrations of the year, following the couple’s earlier traditional and civil ceremonies. The star-studded guest list for the white wedding included names like Saheed Osupa, Peter Okoye, Charles Okocha, Tacha, and Papaya Ex, among a host of other top Nigerian celebrities and content creators.
Between the wedding festivities, the extravagant gifts including a ₦400 million Abuja mansion from businessman King Ochacho and a car gifted by socialite Rahman Jago and now Davido’s public well-wishes, the union has dominated entertainment timelines for days.
Why Davido’s Message Hit Differently This Time
Davido’s celebratory post arrives at a notably sensitive moment for him. Just weeks earlier, on Saturday, July 25, his longtime friend and business partner Soso Soberekon married his lover, Princess Ebiere, in a star-studded ceremony in Warri, Delta State. Despite their close relationship, Davido was noticeably absent from the event a no-show that didn’t go unnoticed.
The absence drew sharp criticism online, with former governor’s aide Ossai Success Ovie publicly calling out Davido, branding him ungrateful for skipping a wedding of someone he’d been close to for years. The backlash lingered in the days that followed, with fans and commentators questioning why Davido would miss such a significant moment for a close associate.
Against that backdrop, Davido’s decision to publicly and warmly celebrate Peller and Jarvis’s wedding even without attending in person reads to many fans as a deliberate, goodwill gesture, helping to soften some of the criticism from weeks earlier.
Fans React
Reactions to Davido’s message have been largely positive, with fans appreciating the gesture toward Peller and Jarvis regardless of the earlier controversy. Others, however, couldn’t help drawing the comparison, pointing out the contrast between Davido’s public support for Peller’s wedding and his continued silence around his absence from Soso Soberekon’s big day.
Whether this puts the criticism fully to rest remains to be seen, but for now, all eyes remain on Peller and Jarvis as they begin married life following one of the most extravagant and closely watched celebrations Nigerian social media has seen this year.
