Peller Shares Emotional Journey from Hardship to New Mansion Celebration
Lagos, Nigeria – Nigerian TikTok sensation Habeeb Hamzat Adelaja, popularly known as Peller, marked a monumental milestone on September 2, 2025, as he unveiled his newly acquired mansion in Lagos, a stark contrast to his family’s past struggles with eviction notices. In an emotional Instagram post, the 20-year-old content creator expressed gratitude to God and his global fanbase, reflecting on the hardships his family endured, including “lots of quit notices,” while announcing a ₦2 million giveaway to celebrate, per Legit.ng and GistReel.
Peller, who rose to fame through his sarcastic and lively livestreams, shared a heartfelt message alongside stunning photos of his mansion’s exterior: “I remember a lot of quick notice wey we don collect with my parents for face me and slap u God am here to rewrite the story am so Grateful oh Lord u make all this happen😩🙏🏽.” The post, his first since a reported kidnapping incident, highlighted his journey from a challenging childhood in Ikorodu, Lagos, to becoming a homeowner. He added, “Finally got a place where I can be loud without landlord wahala,” celebrating his newfound freedom.
The young star, born May 10, 2005, also announced plans to move into the mansion by October 2025, revealing during a TikTok Live with Sandra Benede that “mystery benefactors” supported the purchase, per GistReel. To mark the occasion, Peller promised to give ₦1 million each to two fans, a first for his platform, sparking excitement online.
Peller’s reflection on his family’s struggles struck a chord with fans. Growing up, his parents faced multiple eviction notices while seeking stable shelter, a reality he detailed in his post, per Legit.ng. His earlier revelations about working as a carpenter in Ikorodu and the impact of his parents’ divorce on his academic performance added depth to his story, per Gistlover. Despite these challenges, Peller’s rise—catalyzed by collaborations with artists like Olamide and Dax, and winning “Best Content Creator” at the 2024 Trace Awards—has been meteoric, per Wikipedia.
Fans flooded social media with congratulations, with @peller089’s post amassing thousands of likes. @NaijaVibes tweeted, “Peller went from quit notices to owning a mansion at 20! This is why we stan! 🏠 #PellerMansion,” while @AfricaStars posted, “God has been so good to Peller! From Ikorodu to a mansion, what a glow-up! 🙌.” Critics, however, questioned the timing post-kidnapping rumors, with @SkepticNG noting, “Kidnapping drama to mansion flex? Peller’s moves are bold,”
Peller’s ₦2 million giveaway, requiring fans to drop their MoreMoney account details, underscores his desire to give back, a theme consistent with his earlier efforts, such as building a house for his mother, per New National Star. His mother’s pride at the construction site, despite Peller’s public comments about distancing himself from family, highlighted his complex relationship with them.
As Peller prepares to settle into his new home, his story of triumph over adversity resonates widely. The mansion, a symbol of his hard work and fan support, positions him as an inspiration for young Nigerians. With plans to reveal his benefactors’ identities upon moving in, per GistReel, Peller’s journey continues to captivate, proving that from “face me and slap u” to a mansion, dreams can rewrite reality.
