The popular content creator, whose full name is Habeeb Hamzat Adelaja, sent Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage virtual gifts valued at about $3,000 during a TikTok livestream on Sunday, October 18. He explained that the move was his way of saying thank you for an experience he has never forgotten. According to him, Tiwa Savage was the first person to put him on a private jet.
Peller told the singer that since his own money had started coming in, it was time for him to start looking after her. The remark drew warm reactions from viewers, many of whom pointed out how rare it is to see a rising online star publicly return a favour from years back.
The jet trip he referred to happened in late 2024, when Peller travelled with Tiwa Savage and her son, Jamil. For a young creator who had only recently found fame, that flight became a story he has kept telling, and Sunday’s livestream showed it was more than casual talk.
The singer responded the way fans have come to expect from her, with humour. Tiwa Savage declared herself the godmother of the baby Peller is expecting with fellow content creator Jarvis. Peller looked surprised and laughed, then reminded everyone that the couple did not yet know the child’s gender. He also told Jarvis he believes the baby is a blessing to them.
A note for readers who may be wondering about the figure. The $3,000 is the estimated worth of the virtual gifts sent on the platform. It does not mean the singer received that exact amount in her account, since TikTok applies deductions and conversion rules before gifts turn into cash.
The moment has pushed the friendship between the two entertainers back into the spotlight. It also shows how much TikTok livestreams now shape the way celebrities and creators interact, with fans watching every joke, gift and promise in real time. Tiwa Savage has also been in the news recently after telling fans she suddenly felt unwell ahead of her December shows, which makes the cheerful exchange with Peller even more welcome for her supporters.
For Peller, the message is clear. The young star who once shocked fans with his rise is now using his new income to honour the people who helped him early. For Tiwa Savage, it is another reminder that small acts of kindness can come back in a big way.
Fans are already asking what the godmother promise will look like once the baby arrives. Until the couple share more news, the internet has plenty to talk about.
