Nigerian TikTok streamer Peller sent $3,000 worth of gifts to singer Tiwa Savage during a livestream, telling her the gesture was payment for an old debt the first private jet ride she gave him before he had money of his own.
During the session, Peller said directly to Savage: “I’m gifting you because you were the first person to put me on a private jet. Now that I’ve made money, it’s time for me to start taking care of you.”
Following the gift, Tiwa Savage responded by offering to be the godmother of Peller’s unborn child. The offer made the exchange something considerably more than a TikTok moment; it turned a digital transaction into a public, recorded commitment between two of Nigeria’s most-watched entertainers.
Peller, whose real name is Habeeb Hamzat, was born in 2005 in Ikorodu, Lagos, and has built a TikTok following of 17 million people.
He emerged online around 2023, known for his sarcastic manner while streaming. That arc from Ikorodu to a $3,000 TikTok gift makes the numbers in this story matter more than the numbers themselves.
After hosting Tiwa Savage during a viral TikTok live session, the Afrobeats singer had treated Peller to a private jet ride, with Peller sharing a video of himself alongside Savage and her son Jamil. That ride, now cited as the reason for the $3,000 gift, has roots in a TikTok live that first made the two a social media pairing people cared about.
The viral TikTok celebrity live chat between Peller and Savage gained wide attention, after which the singer promised to grant him a private jet experience and then fulfilled that promise. The moment generated enough goodwill between the two that the relationship has held and deepened across multiple public appearances since.
Tiwa Savage also gifted Peller and his girlfriend Jarvis visas to Dubai for his 20th birthday celebration, a trip the couple confirmed publicly.
Peller, writing on social media at the time, credited Savage directly, saying, “You all should help me thank Tiwa Savage; she made this happen.”
Peller and his wife Jarvis are now expecting a baby girl, and the 22-year-old content creator confirmed the gender during a live video stream on October 13. The godmother offer from Tiwa Savage, made during the $3,000 gift livestream, now carries additional weight given the confirmed pregnancy and revealed gender.
The gender reveal came five days after the couple officially announced their pregnancy on October 8, 2026, sharing maternity photos and describing the unborn child as their greatest blessing.
The announcement ended months of online speculation, which the couple had previously dismissed as weight gain and medication effects.
Ahead of the baby’s arrival, Peller disclosed plans for a push gift for Jarvis, saying he is considering a $40,000 Chanel bag, which he described as a better option than a car. That detail, from a separate livestream, confirms that the scale of spending Peller is now comfortable with has shifted significantly from when Tiwa Savage first put him on a private jet.
The couple also opened TikTok and Instagram pages for their unborn child, baby Adelaja, ahead of the arrival.
The TikTok page has already passed 100,000 followers, while the Instagram page has grown to over 30,000 followers.
A social media post confirming Tiwa Savage’s godmother’s offer circulated widely, drawing attention to the gesture alongside the $3,000 TikTok gift. Both moments were captured on Peller’s livestream and shared across platforms, giving the exchange a public permanence that an informal verbal commitment would not carry.
Peller and Tiwa Savage’s connection first drew wide attention after the singer appeared on his TikTok live with his partner Jadrolita, a session that ended with Savage showing off a tattoo and Peller reacting visibly on camera. That session made them a pairing Nigerian social media kept returning to.
Separately, Peller has confirmed that Peter Obi’s team reached out to him requesting a joint livestream on his platform, with Peller clarifying that any collaboration would not amount to a political endorsement. The inquiry underlines how far Peller’s platform has stretched beyond entertainment into spaces Nigerian politicians now consider worth entering.
The $3,000 gift to Tiwa Savage and her godmother offer in return is the most visible sign yet of how Peller has converted TikTok reach into relationships and relationships into the kind of loyalty that Nigerian entertainment audiences watch closely.
