TikTok influencer Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, popularly known as Jarvis, has opened up about her mother’s serious health condition, revealing that her family is facing challenges that cannot be resolved with financial resources.
Speaking in a viral video, Jarvis highlighted the toll of public scrutiny and the pressures of social media, explaining that faith and hope have become central to coping with her mother’s illness.
The influencer explained that her decision to speak publicly was motivated by fears that videos of her mother in a vulnerable state could circulate online and be used to attack her character.
“Social media can be unforgiving. Tomorrow, someone might record my mother in her condition and use it to criticise me. That has been my biggest fear, that people will judge me unfairly without understanding the full situation,” Jarvis said.
Jarvis emphasised that her mother’s illness has reached a stage where money alone cannot provide a solution. She credited faith and belief in God as the only way forward, as she reflected on her mother’s sacrifices.
“My mom tried her best. She fought and defended us, despite raising us without a father’s support. At this point, it is not about money; it is about faith, love, and hope,” she noted.
The influencer also spoke candidly about her father, who stopped communicating with her when she was very young.
Born to a Senegalese father, Jarvis recalled limited interaction during her early years, which eventually ceased entirely, leaving her searching for answers. She has made efforts to reconnect, including travelling to Senegal in hopes of finding him and understanding the reasons for his absence.
“This father figure has been absent from my life, and I’m still trying my best to reach him. From the start, he would call me Aminata, but eventually, all communication stopped. Even today, I haven’t heard from him,” she said, adding that the search has been a personal journey alongside managing family challenges.
Jarvis’ disclosure comes amid intense public attention following her previous relationship with fellow influencer and livestreamer Hamzat Habeeb, popularly known as Peller.
The relationship ended after Peller experienced a car crash during a livestream, which attracted widespread media coverage and online commentary. The incident, coupled with ongoing scrutiny of her family life, has heightened Jarvis’ awareness of the potential for social media criticism.
Jarvis concluded her message by reiterating her gratitude and admiration for her mother’s unwavering strength. She reminded her audience that not all difficulties can be solved with financial resources, and that some challenges require patience, prayer, and hope.
