Nigerian content creator Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has responded to a viral claim by a self-described Babalawo who alleged that he used spiritual means to help the TikTok star become famous.
The controversy began after the man claimed that Peller visited his shrine before achieving fame, where he allegedly pleaded for spiritual assistance. He further alleged that the content creator later abandoned him and failed to fulfil an unspecified obligation after becoming successful.
Peller has now rejected the allegation, describing it as content that has been taken too far.
Speaking in a video, the content creator warned the man that he could face legal consequences over the claims.
“The man claiming he did juju for me to blow should keep running. Police will still catch you,” Peller said.
According to Peller, he believes the man initially created the story for social media content but continued pushing the narrative after it gained attention and some members of the public began believing it.
Peller claimed the controversy significantly increased the man’s TikTok following, saying his account grew from about 4,000 followers to approximately 65,000.
“The page had 4,000 followers on TikTok, now it has 65,000 followers. He has changed his page to look like a real juju man page,” he said.
Peller went further by alleging that the man had begun collecting money from people who believed he possessed spiritual powers capable of helping them achieve similar success.
“He’s now scamming people. He’s collecting people’s money. That man will rot in jail,” Peller alleged.
The content creator did not provide evidence in the supplied account to substantiate the alleged fraudulent transactions.
Peller also suggested that he was prepared to pursue the matter and would not be easily persuaded to withdraw any potential complaint.
“His family will beg for mercy and say, ‘Help us beg Peller to drop the case.’ I won’t listen,” he said.
He expressed concern that some social media users appeared to believe the Babalawo’s original story and were reportedly showing interest in seeking similar services.
“See what people are talking. Una never still wise for 2026?” Peller added.
The Babalawo’s claims about helping Peller achieve fame through spiritual means remain unverified, while Peller has publicly denied the narrative and accused the man of exploiting the controversy for attention and financial gain.
Peller said the man claiming he did spiritual work that made him famous will end up crying the are looking for him while his family will beg for mercy. He said the man grew from 4K to 65K followers after making the claim, then changed his page to look like a native doctor page… pic.twitter.com/mR4F9jDrz5
