Nigerian TikTok streamer Peller faces fresh scrutiny after controversial journalist Kemi Olunloyo issued a stark warning. She urged him to return all lion gifts received on the platform.
Olunloyo claimed one of Peller’s major gifters has been arrested and taken to the United States. The statement, which went viral on Saturday, July 4, 2026, reignited debates about the sources of high-value virtual gifts.
In her earlier video from late April 2026, Olunloyo alleged a pattern involving Nigerian livestreamers. She described how fraudsters allegedly use stolen credit cards to purchase expensive TikTok gifts like lions, the platform’s most costly item.
“Peller cannot keep quiet. He is talking again. I warned him in 2024,” she stated. Olunloyo claimed some arrested individuals from an FBI-linked raid in South Africa mentioned Peller’s name.
She further explained the alleged process. Fraudsters gift large sums, such as $20,000 worth, then receive a share after the streamer cashes out. “In that process the FBI is looking straight at all of them,” Olunloyo said.
Peller, whose real name is Habeeb Hamzat, has frequently celebrated massive gifts and giveaways. Olunloyo advised him to stop publicizing them to avoid drawing attention. She extended similar concerns to other creators like Carter Efe and Jarvis.
Reactions on X have been mixed. Some users dismissed the claims as unverified speculation aimed at relevance. Others called for investigations into TikTok gifting practices. No official confirmation from authorities has emerged.
The allegations highlight broader concerns over potential money laundering through social media platforms. Peller has not publicly responded to the latest warning as of this report.
