The star-studded premiere of the highly anticipated comedy film Gingerrr turned into an impromptu comedy roast session when Nollywood veteran Odunlade Adekola hilariously called out TikTok sensation Peller for his on-again, off-again antics with girlfriend Jarvis.
The event, hosted by comedienne Kie Kie (Bukola Adewale) alongside co-stars Bisola Aiyeola, Wunmi Toriola, and Bolaji Ogunmola, drew a glittering crowd including Funke Akindele, Timini Egbuson, Bolanle Ninalowo, Papaya Ex, Veekee James, and many more, all turning heads in their glamorous red-carpet looks. But it was a candid moment between Adekola, Peller (Habeeb Hamzat), and Jarvis (Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, aka Jadrolita) that quickly went viral, sparking laughter and memes across social media.
In a clip circulating online, Adekola approached the couple—fresh off their latest public reconciliation—and teased Peller with a straight-faced quip: “Why do you always disturb her?” He followed up with a mock-serious warning, “This time, if you disturb her…” The remark, delivered in Adekola’s signature deadpan humor, had Jarvis bursting into giggles while Peller, ever the quick-witted streamer, shot back with a grin: “No, I don’t always disturb her. I’m here to stream. Do you want to join my stream? You’ll be on live!” Not missing a beat, Adekola replied, “Let me consult the oracles first—I’ll get back to you,” drawing roars of applause from the crowd.
The lighthearted exchange comes amid Peller and Jarvis’s rollercoaster romance, which has captivated and divided fans for months. Just days earlier, the duo trended for a heated spat over Jarvis’s unapproved “foolish” low-cut haircut, with Peller dramatically smashing a cardboard cutout of her during a live stream. Earlier in June, tensions boiled over at Toyin Abraham’s Iyalode premiere, where Peller was caught yelling “Get out!” at Jarvis in a viral clip that drew backlash for being “dehumanizing.” Yet, true to form, they’ve reconciled publicly multiple times, declaring their bond unbreakable and fueling endless speculation.
Fans couldn’t get enough of Adekola’s intervention, with social media lighting up. “Odunlade speaking for all of us tired of Peller-Jarvis episodes,” one X user quipped, while another added, “Uncle Odunlade just became their relationship therapist—consult the oracles for breakup advice next!” The moment has been hailed as a highlight of the premiere, blending Nollywood’s comic timing with Gen Z’s chaotic love stories.
Gingerrr, a feel-good tale of friendship, mishaps, and empowerment, is already generating buzz for its relatable humor and powerhouse cast. Directed by Ace Pablo and produced under Kie Kie’s Buula Naija Productions, the film promises to be a box-office darling when it hits cinemas later this month.
As for Peller and Jarvis? No word yet on whether the “oracles” approve of another stream collab with Adekola—but if history is any guide, we’ll be watching closely.
