The management of popular Nigerian TikTok creator, Amadou Elizabeth, widely known as Jarvis, has threatened legal action against fellow content creator, Hamzat Habeeb, popularly called Peller, over allegations linking her to money laundering activities on TikTok.
The controversy began after Peller, during a recent TikTok livestream, alleged that money laundering occurs on the platform through the TikTok gifting system, and insinuated that Jarvis was involved.
Clips from the livestream quickly went viral, with Peller claiming he once believed Jarvis was wealthy until she allegedly “revealed the secret” behind her earnings.
He also cited an incident where a gifter offered him a 50:50 split of TikTok proceeds, an example he claimed illustrated how some users launder money through the platform.
Although the two creators later appeared to have reconciled publicly through their social media activity, Jarvis’s management, Aiso Entertainment (@aisohub on Instagram), released an official statement on Sunday dismissing Peller’s claims as false, defamatory, and damaging to her reputation.
According to the statement, the management describes the allegations as “patently false and malicious,” stressing that Jarvis has never been involved in any illegal financial activity.
“The management of Jadrolita, alongside Jadrolita herself, unequivocally and categorically refutes this egregious claim in its entirety,” the statement read.
Aiso Entertainment demanded that Peller issue a public apology within 48 hours, warning that failure to do so would result in legal proceedings.
“We hereby demand that Peller and his management issue an immediate, unconditional, and publicly disseminated apology to Jadrolita and her team,” the statement continued, adding that the company views the allegation as reputational sabotage that will not be ignored.
