TikTok Star Peller Reveals He Rejected ₦3 Billion Netflix Offer to Protect Girlfriend, Opens Up on Family Struggles

In a shocking revelation that has sent waves through Nigeria‘s online community, popular TikTok Peller,Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, disclosed that he once turned down a whopping ₦3 billion offer from Netflix for a project involving his girlfriend, Jarvis. The young influencer made the claim during a recent livestream with singer Peter Okoye of the legendary duo P-Square.

The offer, according to Peller, was specifically for Jarvis to participate in a kissing scene. However, he was quick to shut down the proposal, citing his deep love and protective instincts over his partner.

“Netflix offered ₦3 billion Naira to my girlfriend, Jarvis, to do a kissing scene, but I turned it down,” Peller boldly claimed.

Startled by the figure, Peter Okoye interrupted him to clarify, “Do you mean ₦3 million or ₦3 billion?”

“₦3 billion!” Peller insisted. “I know you might not believe me, but I have the record of the video call. I warned them never to contemplate such ever again. I love my baby. I don’t joke with my baby. She is my life.”

Peter responded supportively, “Always look out for her.”

The revelation has sparked mixed reactions across social media platforms. While some fans hailed Peller for his loyalty and the strong boundary he set to protect his relationship, others questioned the plausibility of the ₦3 billion figure and the nature of the Netflix proposal.

Beyond the headlines of Netflix money and romantic loyalty, Peller’s emotional depth surfaced further during a candid discussion with fellow TikToker Sandra Benede. The 19-year-old content creator opened up about the intense emotional and financial burdens he carries, especially regarding his family.

According to Peller, despite being barely out of his teens, he has become the sole provider for his family, a role he says was thrust upon him far too early. The pressure has left him emotionally drained and feeling estranged from his loved ones.

“I’m not feeling okay. The other day, I slept off in my car till the next morning. I don’t like what I am facing at this young age. I’m not even up to 20 years. It is not fair,” he confessed.

He revealed that, although he continues to financially support his family, he no longer feels any emotional closeness with them. In fact, he now avoids physical contact or visits with his relatives altogether.

“I don’t like seeing my family anymore. I just send them things to make sure they are okay. I don’t like to see them again because my mentality is higher than living with my parents. My mentality now is higher than theirs. It feels like I’m their parent, even though I have an elder brother,” he explained.

Peller’s revelations paint a complex picture of the challenges that can accompany early fame and digital stardom. His comments about struggling like a parent and feeling mentally older than his actual age speak volumes about the sacrifices that many young creators make behind the glamour of the internet.

“I struggle like a parent. I don’t rest. Sometimes, I feel like running away to hide somewhere in America and go offline. I have been meaning to do it but I don’t want them to be worried,” he admitted.

The only emotional connection he now maintains, he said, is with his girlfriend, Jarvis. “Before, I used to miss my mum whenever I travelled as a child. But right now, I don’t miss any of my family members anymore. The only person I will miss is Jarvis,” he concluded.

His statements reveal not just a disconnection from family, but a deeper existential fatigue — a psychological toll that many content creators, particularly those who achieve fame at a young age, can relate to. The public exposure, constant pressure to perform, and family obligations have clearly weighed heavily on his mental health.

Peller’s story is one of contrast — of glamour and struggle, wealth and emotional isolation. While his rejection of a ₦3 billion Netflix deal has ignited debates online, the deeper takeaway from his recent statements is the emotional strain faced by young Nigerians navigating fame, family, and personal boundaries.

As conversations around youth mental health, emotional well-being, and online fame continue to gain traction, Peller’s raw honesty could serve as a wake-up call. Behind every viral video and sponsored post is a real person facing real challenges — a reality that deserves compassion, not just clicks.
