Jarvis confronts Ycee over comments about her husband, Peller

Nigerian content creator Jarvis responded to singer Ycee after he made remarks about her partner, Peller.

According to DAILY POST, Ycee referred to Peller as an “Olodo uprising” during his appearance on the Afropolitan podcast.

He made the comment while arguing that intelligence and academic excellence are no longer celebrated in Nigeria.

Citing popular online personalities such as Peller as examples of young Nigerians seeking fame through outrageous content instead of education, he said, “Peller culture.”

Ycee said:

“We now have an Olodo uprising, and it is terrible. It is like we are trying to accommodate unintelligent and ignorant people because we do not want them to feel bad, so now they are becoming the majority. There is a massive attack on the educational system in Nigeria. Now, it is not just the Yahoo culture alone; we also have the Peller culture. If we keep rewarding these guys, people will start to believe all they need to do is say or do something dumb, outrageous, or obscene online to get the clicks and numbers. No shade to Peller, though, because I have nothing against him personally.”

In a video posted on social media, Jarvis responded to the interview, blaming the Nigerian government's lack of job creation for the rise of digital content creation.

Defending her content with Peller, she asked, “government didn’t provide jobs for us, what exactly did you expect people to do?”

“I’m a graduate. Go and tell that to your president because you can’t expect individuals with high intelligence to end up cleaning toilets. You even mention my man as ‘Peller culture’. Everybody has their culture, so please don’t bring that thing here. Just because we’re acting funny and trying to earn a living, you’re telling us that we don’t want to have education? So what about me, who graduated from University?”
