Nigerian content creator and livestreamer Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has found himself at the center of a fresh controversy after a woman came forward claiming she is pregnant with his child, an allegation the 20-year-old social media star has firmly rejected.
A woman took to social media to accuse Peller of fathering her pregnancy and pressuring her to terminate it, a claim he has since forcefully denied. In a viral clip, the woman appeared holding what she described as a doctor’s report, insisting she would not terminate the pregnancy despite what she said was his suggestion that she do so.
She reportedly said she had first approached Peller privately before deciding to go public with her claim after feeling dissatisfied with his response.
None of the woman’s claims have been independently verified, and the circumstances surrounding her decision to speak out publicly remain unclear.
Peller addressed the allegation on his WhatsApp channel on September 14, 2026, issuing a pointed warning to the woman and a third party linked to her claim an apparent reference to a traditional herbalist, or “babalawo,” the woman allegedly invoked in her video.
In his statement, Peller insisted he had not touched the woman and warned that her family would come to regret the accusation if it proved false.
The timing of the allegation is notable. Peller, born Habeeb Hamzat in 2005 in Ikorodu, Lagos, rose to prominence online around 2023 for his sarcastic manner and reluctance while streaming, and now commands roughly 17 million TikTok followers.
He officially married fellow content creator Amoudu Elizabeth Aminata, known as Jarvis, in a court wedding on July 29, 2026.
The couple has weathered pregnancy speculation before. Just weeks earlier, Peller addressed rumours that Jarvis was expecting, jokingly attributing her weight gain to bloating rather than pregnancy, and insisting he wouldn’t be able to keep such news quiet if it were true.
He had also previously spoken of plans to start a family with Jarvis once he was financially ready. Against that backdrop, an outside paternity claim lands as a particularly sensitive development for the newlywed streamer.
The exchange drew considerable attention online, with some users questioning the validity of the woman’s claims while others advised her to pursue legal avenues if she was confident in her allegation. Reactions on social media have been sharply split.
Some commenters have cast doubt on the woman’s motives, with several suggesting she is chasing online fame or invoking the phrase “who wan blow,” a colloquial jab implying opportunism.
Others have raised the possibility that her account could be genuine and cautioned against dismissing her outright, with one user pointedly asking what would happen “if the lady is saying the truth.”
A number of commenters have also referenced Nigeria’s Cybercrimes Act, speculating about potential legal exposure for the woman if her claims are found baseless or for Peller himself, given the tone of his warning.
As of this report, neither party has produced conclusive evidence to substantiate or refute the pregnancy claim, and no official legal action appears to have been filed by either side.
The matter continues to generate significant engagement across Nigerian social media platforms, with the country’s active online commentariat weighing in on questions of credibility, accountability, and the ethics of adjudicating such disputes in public view rather than through formal channels.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
At its core, this is an unverified public allegation against a high-profile streamer, met with an equally public denial and warning, and neither side has offered independent proof.
The pregnancy claim, the accusation of pressure to terminate, and Peller’s threat toward the woman and her family remain just that: claims, not established facts.
The key thing to know is that this story is still developing, and readers should treat both accounts with caution until credible evidence, medical, legal, or otherwise, emerges to support either version of events.
