Peller’s Mum Speaks Up Again — And Once More, The Internet Is All Ears
Just when things were starting to quiet down, Peller’s mum is back on everyone’s timeline this time with a direct message aimed squarely at men, putting them “on the hot seat” according to the clip currently making rounds. If her recent track record is anything to go by, whatever she said isn’t staying in one corner of the internet for long.
Why Peller’s Mum Keeps Ending Up in the Headlines
For anyone just catching up, Peller’s mother has become something of a recurring character in Nigerian internet culture this year not by chance, but because her son, TikTok streamer Peller (Habeeb Hamzat), has had one of the most talked-about years of any young Nigerian creator.
It started with the house. Despite Peller once declaring during a livestream that he didn’t want to see his family again even while continuing to financially support them a viral video later showed his mum beaming with pride at the construction site of a new home he was building for her, sparking a wave of “tough love” conversations online about their relationship.
Then came the wedding. Peller married fellow content creator Jarvis in a star-studded Lagos ceremony that dominated entertainment headlines for days, complete with appearances from Cubana Chief Priest and boxes of cash being distributed to family members. Peller’s mum had her own emotional moment arriving at the venue — but the goodwill didn’t last long. Days later, she found herself at the center of controversy after an X user alleged she’d quietly asked her son to also gift money to “Oji,” described as her romantic partner, while he was in the middle of handing money to his own father at the reception. The claim sparked heated debate online, with media personality Daddy Freeze stepping in to publicly defend her, arguing there was nothing wrong with Peller’s generosity extending to the man his mother intends to marry.
Around the same period, she also opened up publicly about a prophecy she says was given before Peller’s birth, and separately shared an emotional account of what actress Iyabo Ojo once did for her family during a difficult period years ago moments that painted a warmer, more grateful side of her public persona.
