Peller, a well-loved figure on Nigerian TikTok, has recently been thrust into the spotlight, not because of his online antics, but due to a family-related incident sparking buzz.
Reports swirling in the media suggest that Peller’s mother made an unusual request—asking him to financially support her partner during the festivities of his wedding.
This surprising event is said to have unfolded amid the glitz and glamour of Peller’s wedding reception held in the bustling city of Lagos.
The interaction involving Peller’s mother, now the talk of the internet, involved her apparently urging her son to generously provide for her companion during the posh wedding bash.
Since the lavish Lagos affair, social media is ablaze with varying opinions, leaving many pondering over the appropriateness of such a request amid the celebratory spirit of Peller’s nuptials.
Media personality Daddy Freeze, however, has come to the defence of Peller’s mother, arguing that there was nothing wrong with the TikToker giving money to the man she intends to marry.
During the wedding reception, Peller was seen bringing out a box containing bundles of dollar bills, which he proceeded to distribute among members of his family.
The TikToker reportedly began by presenting cash gifts to his in-laws before moving on to his own parents.
However, according to an X user who shared his observation of the moment, Peller’s mother allegedly called his attention to a man identified as Oji as he was about to leave after giving money to his parents.
The social media user claimed that Peller’s mother quietly asked her son to give Oji some money as well, describing Oji as her partner who was seated at the same table during the celebration.
The X user expressed displeasure over the alleged request and raised concerns about the level of restraint that should be exercised when it comes to a child’s money.
He wrote:
“Peller’s mum did something at his wedding that I honestly didn’t like, and I pray for protection and more wisdom for that boy.
“After Peller had given his mum and his parents-in-law money, he went back to the box to pick money to give his dad. While he was doing that, his mum was whispering to him, ‘Fun Oji na, fun Oji na,’ meaning, ‘Give Oji too.’
“Now, who is Oji? Oji is her new husband-to-be, and he was sitting right there at the same table with them.
“Peller had to go back to the box again to take some cash for him.
“I don’t know, but something about that didn’t sit right with me. There should be a level of restraint, especially when it comes to your child’s money. May God protect Peller and give that boy more wisdom and understanding.”
Reacting to the criticism, Daddy Freeze disagreed with the X user’s position, maintaining that Peller was simply showing respect to his mother by extending the gesture to her partner.
According to him, a man who is dating or preparing to marry one’s mother should be regarded as a stepfather, making it reasonable for Peller to honour him during the occasion.
Daddy Freeze wrote:
“PELLER did the right thing. Person wey dey date or wan marry ur mama na ur step papa.
“He honored his mother. Flip the tables. If it was the step dad that was rich and he gave PELLER money, would uu complain? En WOMANBEING?”
His reaction has since added another layer to the online debate, with social media users expressing different opinions about Peller’s mother’s alleged request and whether the TikToker was right to give money to her partner.
