Nigerian comedian and content creator, Carter Efe has claimed that internet pressure played a role in Peller and Jarvis’ decision to marry.
He described their relationship as fake and revealed why he was not invited to their wedding.
Carter made the comments during an interview while speaking about relationships involving content creators and the pressure created by social media engagement.
“You go see am very soon, just calm. Na why them no invite me come their marriage, them dey see me as witch, so them no invite me,” he said.
Carter said he understands how relationships involving female content creators can be influenced by social media, claiming that comments and engagement can affect their decisions.
“I know how women that love the content space behave. IG comments and engagement control women when they’re in a relationship,” he said.
He also said he would not date a content creator or another famous person because of the pressure that comes with having a relationship in the public eye.
Carter argued that constant reactions from social media users can push some couples into doing things they might otherwise not do.
“To be honest, na pressure dey make some people dey go do wetin them suppose no do because of the comments wey them dey see online,” he said.
Speaking about marriage, he added: “The internet is crazy. It’s pressure them to marry.”
Carter further recalled his own experience in a relationship where content creation became closely tied to his personal life.
He said there was a period when he could not make content without his partner, while followers expected them to appear together even when they were having disagreements.
“There was a time I could not do content if I don’t see my woman. I can’t shoot content if I don’t see her,” he said.
According to Carter, the pressure eventually affected him emotionally, as he and his partner sometimes had to fake it before appearing in front of the camera.
“Do you know how many times I will cry? We go fight, fight before we start content, before we even shoot, before we face camera,” he said.
He said he eventually decided that he could no longer allow his personal relationship to be driven by the demands of online audiences.
“I have to use my own brain. I said no. It cannot continue like this.
“If you don’t understand the internet, internet will put your head, then you will start regretting like four or five years later that these people don’t really care about you,” Carter said. (sic)
