Nigerian streamer and content creator Habeeb Hamzat Adelaja, popularly known as Peller, has fired back at social media users demanding a DNA test to confirm the paternity of his expected child with fellow influencer Jarvis.
Peller expressed his frustration during a livestream, insisting that he had no doubts about the pregnancy and did not consider a DNA test necessary. His reaction followed the couple’s recent announcement that they were expecting their first child together.
“Jarvis is carrying my child,” Peller said, dismissing the calls for a paternity test and questioning why strangers were so concerned about his private family matters. He also made controversial remarks directed at critics who continued to question his relationship.
The streamer said public scrutiny had followed the couple throughout their relationship, from the early days of their romance to their wedding and now the pregnancy. He recalled that some social media users had previously doubted whether Jarvis would date him or remain with him, while others criticised their decision to marry.
According to Peller, the latest demands for a DNA test represent another example of people attempting to interfere in his personal life. He urged critics to stop making assumptions about his relationship and respect the couple’s decisions.
The controversy has generated renewed discussion online about the boundaries between public curiosity and personal privacy, particularly when influencers share details of their lives with large audiences.
Peller and Jarvis, whose real name is Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, announced their pregnancy on October 8 through a joint social media post featuring maternity photographs. They described the baby as a blessing and expressed excitement about becoming parents.
The announcement followed their wedding celebrations earlier in 2026, after their relationship attracted significant attention through TikTok videos, livestreams and other online content.
Although the couple’s relationship has often been a subject of public debate, demands for a DNA test remain social media commentary rather than evidence of any dispute over paternity.
As they prepare for parenthood, Peller’s response highlights the challenges public figures face when personal milestones become topics of widespread online discussion.
