Content creator, Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, popularly known as Jarvis, has dismissed reports suggesting that she shaved her hair ‘gorimapa’ as part of the traditional rites for her wedding.

In a video shared online, Jarvis explained that she opted for the hairstyle simply because her stylist asked her to cut her hair, stressing that it had nothing to do with any marriage ritual.

She said, “The wedding is finally over and I’m super happy. I’m proud of myself and my husband.

“For those of you speculating that I barbed my hair for my wedding as part of some tribal marriage rites, shut up.

“I barbed my hair because I wanted my hair installation to be perfect. That is what my hair stylist recommended because I have a very stubborn hair. Most of my hair like my frontal has not been sitting pretty because of my front hair.”

Jarvis and fellow TikTok star, Peller tied the knot traditionally on August 1, 2026.

The couple held their white wedding on Saturday, August 8, 2026.
