Just when you thought the Peller drama couldn’t get any juicier, the saga of the TikTok star and his old friend from Ikorodu has dropped another bombshell!
After a tearful viral plea that had the internet in a chokehold, Peller’s childhood buddy is back with an update that’s sparking fresh debates: Peller has reportedly given him 2 million naira—but the friend says it’s not enough. Grab your popcorn, because this Nigerian entertainment rollercoaster is far from over!
In a new video shared on X on April 1, 2025, the young man, who previously broke down crying while begging Peller to unblock and help him, revealed that the TikTok sensation reached out after the viral outcry.
“Peller has given me 2 million naira,” he announced, showing a mix of gratitude and frustration. But in the same breath, he added, “It’s not enough,” explaining that his struggles in Ikorodu are far from over. The boy, who accused Peller of abandoning him after rising to fame, had shared how he’s been struggling to eat, with no support since Peller allegedly blocked him on all social media platforms.
For those just catching up, Peller—real name Habeeb Hamzat—is a 19-year-old Nigerian TikTok star who’s been making waves online. According to a February 2025 article from mynewsgh.com, Peller rakes in an average of 20 million naira weekly on TikTok, with one live session alone earning him $10,000.
His rise to fame, detailed on Wikipedia, includes breaking records with the highest-viewed stream in Africa at 76k views and collaborating with stars like Olamide. But his old friend’s viral video last week painted a stark contrast, showing clips of their early content creation days in 2019/2020 and accusing Peller of leaving him behind to “suffer” in Ikorodu while taking another friend, Joe Black, to the top.
The 2 million naira gesture from Peller is no small change—equivalent to about $1,200 USD at current exchange rates, per xe.com—but the friend’s claim that it’s not enough has X users divided. Some are calling him ungrateful, with one user, @NaijaGist, commenting, “2 million naira and you dey complain? Omo, entitlement dey smell here o.”
Others are more sympathetic, pointing to Nigeria’s economic struggles. A 2025 World Bank report notes that 38.9% of Nigerians live below the poverty line, with inflation making basics like food increasingly unaffordable. “2 million no fit solve everything for this economy,” argued
@LagosBabe22. “Peller suppose do more since he dey cash out big time.”
Ikorodu, where the friend resides, is a Lagos suburb known for its challenges.
The friend’s struggle to afford food aligns with broader issues—Nigeria’s inflation rate hit 32.7% in September 2024, per Trading Economics, making daily survival a battle for many.
Peller hasn’t publicly responded to this latest claim, but his past actions show he’s no stranger to generosity—his live streams often feature giveaways, as noted in his mynewsgh.com interview. Will he up the ante, or is this the final chapter of their friendship?
The internet is buzzing with speculation, and one thing’s clear: this saga is keeping Nigerian entertainment fans glued to their screens. Stay tuned for the next twist in this tale of fame, friendship, and 2 million naira!
