Popular Nigerian content creator and streamer Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, has set social media buzzing after describing himself as “just a poor boy from Ikorodu” despite receiving bundles of dollar notes and other expensive gifts during his wedding.
The TikTok star, who recently married fellow content creator Jarvis, made the remark in a video that has since gone viral across social media platforms. In the clip, Peller is seen displaying stacks of dollar bills reportedly presented to him by friends and well-wishers during the lavish wedding celebration.
While showing off the cash gifts, Peller urged fans to stop referring to him as a wealthy man, insisting that he remains grounded despite his growing fame and financial success.
“Stop saying I’m rich. I’m just a poor boy from Ikorodu,” he said.
His comment immediately triggered mixed reactions online, with many users debating whether the statement reflected genuine humility or was simply another entertaining moment from the content creator, who is known for his playful personality.
Some social media users joked that Peller’s version of being “poor” looked far different from reality, especially after his star-studded wedding reportedly attracted multimillion-naira gifts and high-profile guests from Nigeria’s entertainment and business circles.
Reacting to the viral video, X user @officialjennyx wrote, “If Peller is poor, then what are the rest of us?” Another user, @KingTunde, added, “This is the kind of poverty I want in my life.”
Peller and Jarvis’ wedding has remained one of the most talked-about celebrity events in Nigeria in recent days, with clips from the ceremony, luxury gifts and celebrity appearances continuing to trend across social media.
