Content creator MC Mbakara has explained why he did not attend the wedding ceremony of TikTok stars Peller and Jarvis.
Speaking in a video, MC Mbakara said he was uncomfortable with the requirement to purchase the wedding aso ebi before receiving an invitation.
According to him, he considered the arrangement disrespectful, adding that he could have chosen to gift the couple a substantial amount of money instead of being required to buy aso ebi or pay for an invitation.
His comments have stirred mixed reactions online, with some agreeing with his position while others defended the couple’s wedding arrangements.
“This is the reason I did not attend Peller and Jarvis’ wedding ceremony. First, I’m a senior man. You can’t tell me to buy aso ebi. At my age, a chief. To me, that’s disrespectful. Then I was told that if I didn’t buy the aso ebi, I would have to pay to get an IV. I told him that wasn’t right. I could decide to give you $5,000 on your wedding day, but saying I must buy the aso ebi before I can get an invitation doesn’t make sense…..” he said in part.
