Content creator Jarvis has responded to the social media storm surrounding a viral moment from her traditional wedding to fellow creator Peller, insisting she never described her husband as a “womb shifter.”
The influencer addressed the controversy during a livestream after clips from the ceremony sparked widespread debate across social media platforms. According to Jarvis, the phrase many people claimed to have heard was incorrect.
She explained that she actually referred to Peller as a “tomb shifter,” describing it as a cultural expression used in her community to refer to husbands.
“For those of you that came to my wedding and changed my words, I never said ‘womb shifter.’ I said ‘tomb shifter.’ In the Bible, didn’t you read where the tomb was shifted? I called my husband a ‘tomb shifter.’ That’s what we call our husbands in my village,” she said during the livestream.
The clarification comes after a video from the couple’s traditional wedding circulated widely online, with many viewers believing Jarvis had used the phrase “womb shifter.” The clip quickly generated jokes, memes and heated discussions across various social media platforms.
Jarvis maintained that her statement had been misunderstood and later altered as the video spread online. She said the viral interpretation did not reflect what she actually said during the ceremony.
Her explanation has triggered fresh reactions, with some social media users accepting her clarification while others continue to debate the meaning of the expression.
The wedding of Peller and Jarvis has remained one of Nigeria’s biggest entertainment stories in recent days, attracting celebrities, influencers and widespread online attention, with several moments from the ceremony continuing to trend across digital platforms.
