Nigerian music star Olamide Adedeji made streamer Habeeb Hamzat Adelaja, popularly known as Peller, an internet sensation after sending him a $5,000 birthday gift.
NaijNaira learnt that the 20-year-old skit maker was celebrating his birthday when Olamide’s team reached out with the unexpected cash gift. The moment was caught on video and quickly gained traction on social media.
Peller, who recently shared clips from a getaway with his partner, Jarvis, was visibly shocked when he received the news. In the Instagram video, he recalled being asleep when the message came in, stating that he didn’t expect any money to hit his account that day.
“No food for lazy man e no reach here… very deep but na grace be the Koko,” he said, overwhelmed with emotion.
The streamer added that Olamide was the first celebrity to support his streaming efforts when he was still unknown. He used the opportunity to pray for the rapper, thanking him for years of encouragement.
Fans praised both Peller’s humble response and Olamide’s continued support for rising talents. Some noted how genuinely grateful the young streamer seemed, even though he could now afford such money himself.
One fan wrote, “See how grateful he sounds over some money he knows he can afford over and over again. That is why he will not fail because he just knows how to keep going higher.”
Peller’s heartfelt reaction resonated with many, and comments poured in across platforms wishing for their own breakthrough moments.
This isn’t the first time Olamide has uplifted a rising star. Weeks earlier, Fireboy DML also credited the artist for playing a major role in launching his music career.
