Peller reveals nearly $30,000 fake note were sprayed at his wedding

Nigerian streamer Peller has revealed that he was left with a costly surprise after discovering that almost $30,000 worth of dollar notes sprayed at his wedding were fake.

The content creator made the revelation during a livestream, saying he only discovered the notes were counterfeit when he took them to the bank after the wedding.

Peller said he had initially returned home from the celebration believing he had received a substantial amount of money from guests, only for the excitement to disappear when the notes were checked.

“When I got to the bank, they told me the dollars were fake,” he said.

According to the streamer, the experience was particularly frustrating because he could identify some of the people who had previously gifted him genuine money.

“I know the people who have given me real money before, and I can recognize them if I see them. But the dollars they sprayed on me were fake.”

‘I thought I was already a millionaire’

Peller said he did not immediately suspect anything was wrong and even celebrated what he believed was a major financial windfall.

“I got home after my wedding thinking I was already a millionaire. I even made a video saying, ‘Hello, hello,’ because I thought I was rich, only to find out the money was fake,” he recalled.

The amount involved, he claimed, was close to $30,000.

“That’s almost $30,000 cash.”

The revelation also explained why Peller had remained unusually quiet about the dollar notes after his wedding.

“You people must have noticed that I never talked about the dollars again,” he said.

Peller questions spraying money at weddings

While Peller stopped short of publicly naming anyone, his frustration was evident as he questioned the practice of spraying money at weddings — particularly when the notes being sprayed are not genuine.

“Is it by force to spray money at someone’s wedding?” he asked.

The incident also appears to have left the streamer concerned about the potential consequences of unknowingly taking counterfeit currency to a bank.

Peller said he was unaware that the notes were fake until they were checked, meaning what appeared to be a generous display of celebration could have potentially created a serious problem for him.

For now, the streamer has chosen not to identify those he believes sprayed the counterfeit dollars.

But his revelation has already raised a bigger question about the practice of spraying cash at social events: when the display is more important than the gift itself, who ultimately pays the price?
