Speaking during an interview about relationships among content creators, Carter described the couple’s relationship as “fake” and explained why he was not invited to their wedding.
“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.
He argued that social media attention and audience engagement can have a strong influence on relationships involving female content creators.
“I know how women that love the content space behave. IG comments and engagement control women when they’re in a relationship,” he said.
Carter also said he would avoid dating another content creator or celebrity because of the pressure that comes with maintaining a relationship in the public eye.
According to him, constant reactions from online audiences can sometimes push couples into making decisions they would not ordinarily make.
“To be honest, na pressure dey make some people dey go do wetin them suppose no do because of the comments wey them see online,” he said.
Reflecting on Peller and Jarvis’ marriage, he added: “The internet is crazy. It’s pressure them to marry.”
Carter further opened up about his own experience of being in a relationship where content creation became closely connected to his personal life.
He recalled a period when he felt unable to create content without his partner, saying their followers expected them to constantly appear together despite whatever disagreements they might have had privately.
“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 the situation took an emotional toll on him, revealing that he and his partner sometimes had arguments before having to appear happy in front of the camera.
“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,” he said.
The comedian said he eventually realised that he needed to make his own decisions instead of allowing the expectations of social media users to dictate his relationship.
“I have to use my own brain. I said no. It cannot continue like this.”
He warned that people who allow the internet to control their personal lives could eventually regret their decisions years later.
“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,” Carter said.
