Peller turns down $50,000 offer to let fan name his unborn child

Popular streamer Peller has rejected a large cash offer in exchange for the right to name his unborn child.
What happened
During a livestream, reported on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, cryptocurrency trader Habby Forex offered Peller $50,000, about ₦70 million, to choose the name of the baby Peller is expecting with his wife, fellow content creator Jarvis. Peller initially seemed surprised when the amount was converted into naira and said he would have to discuss it with his wife. But after asking what name Habby Forex had in mind, he turned the offer down.
What he said
Peller reportedly said money is not everything and that he does not play with his family when it comes to money.
Background
Peller, whose real name is Habeeb Adelaja, is one of Nigeria's most-followed TikTok streamers. He and Jarvis held their white wedding in Lekki, Lagos, in August. Earlier this week he apologised after a livestream in which he called himself Jesus Christ, which drew widespread criticism. Large cash gifts and offers on livestreams have become common among Nigerian streamers and their wealthy fans.
How fans reacted
Many fans praised Peller for putting his family first, while others joked that they would have accepted the money. Some questioned whether the offer was genuine.
