Nigerian comedian and content creator, Carter Efe, has claimed that pressure from social media may have influenced the decision of fellow content creators Peller and Jarvis to get married.

Carter made the claim during an interview while discussing relationships involving content creators and the impact of public expectations on their private lives.

According to him, the constant attention, comments and engagement generated by relationships online can put pressure on couples to take decisions they might not otherwise make.

“The internet is crazy. It’s pressure them to marry,” Carter said.

He also claimed that Peller and Jarvis’ relationship was not genuine, although he did not provide evidence to support the allegation.

Carter further revealed that he was not invited to their wedding, joking that the couple considered him a “witch.”

“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.

The content creator said he understands the pressure faced by people whose relationships are closely tied to their online careers.

He claimed that social media comments and engagement can influence how some female content creators approach relationships, arguing that online reactions sometimes push couples to act in ways they would not ordinarily consider.

Carter also drew from his personal experience, recalling a period when his relationship became intertwined with his content creation.

“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.

He said disagreements with his partner sometimes continued until they had to appear before the camera, adding that they occasionally had to pretend everything was fine for the sake of their audience.

“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,” Carter said.

He said the experience eventually made him realise that he could not allow social media users to dictate his personal relationships.

“I have to use my own brain. I said no. It cannot continue like this,” he said.

Carter advised content creators to understand the difference between their online audience and their private lives, warning that allowing the internet to control personal decisions could lead to regret in the future.

“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,” he said.
