Peller: Biography, Net Worth In Us Dollars And Tiktok Career Highlights (2025)
Imagine chilling at home, scrolling through TikTok, when out pops this young guy from Ikorodu—sarcastic, electric, running a live stream that gets ten thousand fans watching him live! That’s Peller for you.
Born Habeeb Hamzat Adelaja on May 10, 2005, in Ikorodu, Lagos, this young man carries the pure, unfiltered vibe of a Yoruba household—with a sprinkle of Lagos hustle and a generous portion of comedic flair. In under two years, he went from casual content creator to Africa’s highest-viewed TikTok streamer, winning major awards and earning real money—enough to make every Nigerian parent nod and say, “See what hard work can do.”
Let’s dive deep into the life, rise, money, and style that makes Peller a standout in today's social media scene.
From Ikorodu to the Screen: Early Life and Upbringing
Peller’s story starts in Providence Primary School and Frontrunner Academy, two schools in Ikorodu where he grew up telling jokes and making people laugh—even as a kid . Born into a Yoruba Muslim family, he had a foot in tradition—but a mind wired for digital creativity.
Some kids dream of being footballers or doctors. Peller? He was the guy forecasting punchlines and plotting mini dramas, and eventually—plotting how to start a TikTok live.
The Early Grind: 2021 – Entertainment Begins
Even though he started in 2021, the first year went by almost invisibly. He was still discovering his signature swag—mixing Yoruba and broken English, trying gaming streams, and learning what vibes online.
By blending cheeky humour with authenticity, his streams began gaining traction—especially after he discovered his comedic rhythm. Influenced by streaming stars like Kai Cenat, iShowSpeed, and Fanum, he realized he didn’t need dazzling effects—just funny, real, and relatable stories.
The Breakout Phase: 2022-2023
Here’s where things got interesting. Peller launched a series called "Peller’s Palava", teaming up with his online “girlfriend” Jarvis (Jadrolita)—a personality with robo vibes who responded in code, slang, and scattered questions .
The chemistry was real. People watched, rewatched, and shared. That series? Instant hit. Soon, more collaborations followed—like when he went live with Canadian rapper Dax and Nigerian superstar Olamide, helping him break 60K live viewers in one sitting
Fast forward to October 2024… he livestreamed with Davido, attracted over 389,000 live viewers—officially making him one of the biggest stream signers in Nigeria . And yes: that’s higher than the score for most Nollywood premiers.
Record Books & Awards
Peller’s milestones read like a highlight reel:
Africa’s highest-viewed TikTok livestream: 76K viewers with Tiwa Savage and Jarvis.
He was crowned Best Content Creator at the Trace Awards Africa 2024.
He also scooped TikTok Influencer of the Year and Next Gen Influencer of the Year at the Pulse Influencer Awards 2024.
If you ask who’s next-generation digital royalty in Nigeria? He came to the party—dressed in laurels.
How Much Is Peller Actually Making?
Ready for jaw-drop numbers? In a February 2025 "Rubbin’ Minds" interview, he revealed he pulls in about ₦20 million weekly from TikTok live—roughly $15,000 per week . If you do the math, that’s close to $800,000 per year, just from gifts.
He also explained a clever pivot in his strategy: He speaks to fans. Instead of pushing for gifts, he nurtures conversation and gets fans to donate because they want to—like loving the comedian in them.
Bonus: he’s been “co-signed” by heavyweights. Olamide once gifted him ₦1 million. And Tiwa Savage once invited him on a private jet ride. That’s not just fandom—that’s clout.
Beyond Streaming: Music and Acting Detours
Peller didn’t just stop at streaming. No—he dove into music with tracks like Belief and Story in mid‑2024 . His tunes had listeners vibing and TikTokers dancing. Then Nollywood called.
He starred in a movie titled “Alien on Earth” alongside Jarvis and promoted blockbusters like Alakada. We’re talking crossover star ambitions.

2. Live-Streaming First

3. Smart Guest Features

4. Emotional Pull

– Music vibes? Acting chops? Singing? Netflix? He’s testing each lane—and expanding.
6. Awards Reflect Strategy
– Trace Awards and Pulse show the industry trusts his content quality and reach.
