Peller’s 2026 had two very different public moments. In January he chased IShowSpeed’s convoy on a horse in Lagos and was ignored. In the months that followed he proposed to his on-screen partner Jarvis in Accra, married her in a civil ceremony on July 29, held a traditional wedding on August 1, and then a smaller white wedding that was streamed live on Twitch and YouTube on August 8. In 2026 he was also nominated for Best International Streamer at The Streamer Awards.
He is Habeeb Hamzat, known as Peller. Wikipedia lists him as born in 2005 in Ikorodu, Lagos, and describes him as an online streamer and content creator known for a sarcastic, reluctant on-stream manner. He won Best Content Creator at the Trace Awards Africa in July 2024, and his TikTok following is listed at 15.5 million.
He is 20 or 21 years old if Wikipedia’s 2005 birth year is right, though one of his own remarks suggests he may be slightly older (see the sources section below). This is his full biography, with careful attention to the places where sources disagree, particularly on his age, his origin and the sequence of events around his marriage.

Early Life and Education
Wikipedia says Habeeb Hamzat was born in 2005 in Ikorodu, a large suburban town in Lagos State. He attended Providence Primary School and later Frontrunner Academy for secondary school, according to an Affiliate Plg profile cited by Wikipedia. His exact date of birth is not given by Wikipedia or by any other reliable source reviewed here. One biography site gives May 10, 2005, which would make him 21, but because that site is low-quality, this article gives his age as 20 or 21. In September 2024, during a livestream with Toyin Abraham, Zikoko reports that he said he was “just 20 years” old, which would fit a birth year of 2004 better than 2005.
His state of origin is not confirmed by any reliable source reviewed. One low-quality biography site says Oyo State, and this article treats that as unverified.
Starting Out: TikTok and Streaming (2021 to 2023)
Peller launched his career in 2021, inspired by American streamers Kai Cenat, Fanum, IShowSpeed and Duke, according to a Pulse Diary profile cited by Wikipedia. Wikipedia says his early efforts attracted little attention, but he kept going, and that he emerged more widely online around 2023, known for his sarcastic, reluctant manner on stream.
Peller’s Palava and the Jarvis Partnership (2023 to 2024)
The turning point in his content came through his on-screen partnership with Jarvis, also known as Jadrolita. Zikoko’s relationship timeline says Jarvis told WapTV that she met Peller on one of her TikTok lives in 2023, and that he was rude at first. In a 2024 interview with BBC Yoruba, Peller said he had met her on one of his own livestreams. Jarvis was known for a “human AI” character, Jadrolita, which Peller initially did not understand.
In 2024, Wikipedia says he launched the comedy series Peller’s Palava after collaborating with Jadrolita. BBC News Pidgin covered the pair in June 2024 under the headline “From cartoon to human robot, Jadrolita & Peller’s tok how they turn mockery to content.”
The Rise: Dax, Olamide and Record Streams (2024)
His popularity increased sharply in March 2024 when the Nigerian-Canadian rapper Dax joined one of his streams. Rapper Olamide also co-signed him during live sessions, and Legit.ng reported on June 28, 2024 that Olamide gifted him ₦1 million during one. Wikipedia says his previous stream record of 60,000 views was the one that featured Olamide.
He later set a record for the highest-viewed stream in Africa. Wikipedia’s current text gives the figure as 512,000 views, while an earlier version of the page and other sources say 260,000, so the figure depends on the date of the source.
Awards: Trace Awards and Pulse Influencer Awards (2024)
As far as the sources reviewed show, his streaming-specific recognition is a 2026 nomination at The Streamer Awards. His wins are the 2024 Trace and Pulse awards below.
On July 8, 2024, Peller won Best Content Creator at the Trace Awards Africa, reported by SolaceBase and Gistlover. In October 2024, he received Next Gen Influencer of the Year at the Pulse Influencer Awards. Zikoko reports that he called Jarvis to the stage to dedicate it to her, and that she hugged and kissed him there.
Faith, Controversy and the IShowSpeed Moment (2025 to 2026)
In July 2025 he announced that he had converted from Islam to Christianity, according to reports in Naija News, P.M. News and The Nation cited by Wikipedia. Wikipedia says he attributed the decision partly to childhood trauma at a traditional Quranic school.
On January 21, 2026, American streamer IShowSpeed held a birthday livestream tour in Nigeria. Peller was seen attempting to approach him during the stream but was intercepted by a bodyguard. Hours later, according to Wikipedia and reports in the Nigerian Tribune and TheCable, he chased the streamer’s convoy on a horse but was ignored. Cubana Chief Priest defended his hustle afterwards, according to The Nation and Legit.ng.
The Relationship With Jarvis: A Timeline
The relationship between Peller and Jarvis was among the most closely followed in Nigerian social media, and it was not a straight line. The following is drawn from Zikoko’s June 2025 timeline and later news reports.
- September 2024: Peller told Toyin Abraham during a livestream that he would soon go on a date with Jarvis.
- October 2024: The Pulse Influencer Awards moment, when he dedicated his award to Jarvis.
- November 2024: Their first major public argument on a livestream, and a pregnancy rumour that Zikoko describes as apparently fake and “online bait.”
- December 13, 2024: Peller shared a video in which he proposed to Jarvis. Jarvis later said the ring was a “promise ring,” not an engagement ring, while Peller said their wedding was scheduled for February or March 2025.
- March to June 2025: Public disagreements on livestreams. In April 2025 Jarvis said what she and Peller were doing was “content” and that the contract would expire soon. In June 2025 she became emotional on a joint livestream about trust issues.
- September 2025: Premium Times reported that Jarvis explained why they had not yet married despite being engaged, and that a viral video showed Peller pushing Jarvis after singer Seyi Vibes’s show in Lagos.
- 2026: TheCable reported that Jarvis confirmed the end of the romantic relationship. This article does not give a date, because the sources reviewed did not state one. By June 2026, however, Peller had proposed again.
The 2026 Wedding Sequence
According to reports from Daily Times, WuzupNigeria and others, Peller proposed to Jarvis in June 2026 at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra, Ghana. He then travelled to Benin City, Edo State, to meet Jarvis’s family, pay her bride price and complete the traditional marriage rites.
- July 29, 2026: A civil (court) wedding in Lagos, reported by BellaNaija, TVC News and others.
- August 1, 2026: A traditional wedding celebration in Lagos, which drew guests such as Ghe Ghe, Nons Miraj, Jo Blaq and Papaya X, according to Daily Times. Several outlets had initially described August 1 as the white wedding date, but later reports and Peller’s own announcement confirmed that the white wedding was held a week later.
- August 8, 2026: A smaller white wedding of about 80 to 100 guests, livestreamed on Twitch and YouTube. Peller said the cameras at the traditional ceremony had been “too many,” which is why the white wedding was kept intimate.
TheWill reported that he complained about his parents’ conduct at the white wedding, and that real estate entrepreneur King Ochacho described a ₦400 million mansion he gifted the couple during the wedding as “small money.” This article has not independently verified the gift.
Peller’s Net Worth in 2026
There is no verified figure for Peller’s net worth, and none of the reliable sources reviewed gives one, so this article does not publish one. Some low-quality biography sites mention brand partnerships, sponsorships and streaming revenue as income sources, but none documents amounts.

What Sources Disagree On
- Age. Wikipedia gives “2005 (age 20 to 21)” and no full date. One low-quality site says May 10, 2005. His own September 2024 remark that he was “just 20” would fit a 2004 birth year better. This article gives a range and flags the uncertainty.
- Real name. Wikipedia and Zikoko say Habeeb Hamzat. Several news sites (BellaNaija, Glamcityz) use Hamzat Habeeb Adelaja.
- State of origin. Not confirmed by any reliable source; one low-quality site says Oyo State.
- Jarvis’s name. Spelled Amadou, Amoudu or Amaduo, with Elizabeth and Aminata as other names, across sources.
- Wedding dates. Early reports gave August 1 as the white wedding date. Later reports say August 1 was the traditional wedding and August 8 the white wedding.
- Record stream. Wikipedia’s current text says 512,000 views; an earlier version and other sources say 260,000.
- Net worth. No reliable figure exists.
