Popular Nigerian content creator Peller has revealed that most of the dollar bills sprayed on him during his recent wedding ceremony were allegedly fake.
The social media personality reportedly made the revelation while speaking about the cash gifts he received during his wedding, saying he only discovered the problem after taking the money to a bank.
According to Peller, he initially believed that the dollar notes sprayed at the ceremony were genuine and collected them as part of the cash gifts presented to him during the celebration.
However, his excitement reportedly turned into disappointment when he attempted to deposit the money at a bank.
Peller said the bank informed him that a large portion of the dollar bills he had received were counterfeit.
“Most of the dollars sprayed at my wedding are fake,” the content creator reportedly lamented.
The revelation has attracted attention online, particularly because spraying money is a popular practice at lavish Nigerian celebrations, where guests often shower celebrants with cash as a show of affection and support.
For Peller, however, what appeared to be a generous display of wealth at his wedding allegedly resulted in a significant financial disappointment.
The content creator has become one of Nigeria’s recognisable young social media personalities, building a large following through his online videos, collaborations and entertainment-related content.
His wedding also attracted considerable attention on social media, with videos and images from the ceremony circulating widely among fans and followers.
Cash spraying remains a prominent feature of celebrations in Nigeria, particularly at weddings, birthdays and other high-profile social events. Guests may spray local and foreign currencies on celebrants while musicians perform and crowds celebrate.
The practice has also occasionally generated controversy, particularly over the authenticity of foreign currency used during celebrations and the legal and financial implications of handling counterfeit notes.
Peller’s account has therefore sparked conversations among social media users about the need for people receiving large amounts of cash at public events to verify the money before attempting to use or deposit it.
While Peller said most of the dollars he received were fake, the exact amount of money involved and how many of the notes were allegedly counterfeit were not immediately clear.
It is also not clear from the report whether the source of the allegedly fake dollar notes was identified or whether any action was taken against individuals who may have presented them.
The incident has added an unexpected twist to what was otherwise a major celebration for the young content creator and his wife.
For Peller, what began as a colourful wedding tradition involving the spraying of dollars reportedly ended with an unwelcome discovery at the bank.
His complaint has since generated discussion among fans and other social media users, with many reacting to the unusual situation and questioning how counterfeit foreign currency could have been circulated during the celebration.
