Popular social media personality Jarvis, also known as Jadrolita, has issued an emotional public apology to the Oba of Benin. This follows a controversial “unauthorized” visit to the Benin Palace by her partner and fellow content creator, Peller. The incident has reportedly led to a breach of palace protocol and the potential expulsion of a queen.
The Benin Traditional Council recently flagged the visit as a violation of centuries-old customs. Reports indicate that the council expressed deep dissatisfaction with how the visit was conducted. In a viral live stream, Jarvis pleaded for mercy, citing fears that the controversy could affect her future marital prospects and traditional rites.
“I will not be single to stupor… please, please, forgive him. If he even fake or not fake, please, he should not come to pass, please, I beg you. I don’t want to be single to stupor, I want to get married.”
Jarvis continued her plea by highlighting the importance of her traditional marriage rites. She expressed concern that the tension with the Benin Kingdom might prevent her partner from fulfilling cultural requirements in the future.
“My bride price must be paid, my partner will come to my state and pay my bride price without fear… please, have mercy on him, have mercy on us.”
Peller, currently on a nationwide tour, was reportedly shocked by the council’s reaction. While he attempted to explain the purpose of his visit, his management team advised him to remain silent to avoid further complications with the traditional authorities.
This development comes at a challenging time for the duo. Peller recently launched a GoFundMe to raise ₦30 million for Jarvis to undergo surgery for a mouth tumor. The health challenge had already forced the creator to step back from her famous “AI Robot” niche. The public remains divided, with some calling for stricter respect for tradition and others showing sympathy for the embattled creators.
