Popular Nigerian content creator Peller has publicly expressed disappointment after discovering that a large portion of the dollars sprayed at his wedding were fake.
In a recent statement while on TikTok live, Peller cried out over the incident, questioning the culture of spraying money at Nigerian celebrations.
“I went to the bank yesterday to deposit my money, after the ₦ currency deposition, they told me most of the $ currency I brought were fake, that’s almost $30,000 cash, I know the people that spent me the fake $, but I won’t mention them now…Is it by force to spray money?” he asked.
The revelation has sparked conversations online about the practice of spraying cash at weddings, parties, and other social events, with many people sharing similar experiences of receiving fake or low-quality notes.
Peller, who recently got married to Jarvis in a ceremony that attracted significant public attention, said the discovery left him frustrated. He questioned why people feel compelled to spray money even when they cannot afford genuine currency.
His comments have generated mixed reactions. While some fans sympathised with him and condemned the act of spraying fake notes, others argued that the culture of money spraying itself is unnecessary and should be discouraged.
This incident has once again brought the long-standing debate about money spraying in Nigerian social events into the spotlight, with many calling for a shift towards more meaningful ways of celebrating.
