Peller Debunks Rumours, Reveals TikTok Earnings

Habeeb Hamzat, a Nigerian social media user and streamer who goes by the nickname Peller, was recently interviewed and revealed, against popular belief, how much money he makes on TikTok.

Peller was asked by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu to appear on the Rubbin’ Minds show to discuss a few facets of his life and profession, specifically his TikTok earnings and how they have benefited him. When Ebuka inquired about Peller’s weekly income, he provided a detailed explanation. He began by stating that it is untrue to say that he makes more than N200 million a week.

He estimates that he earns roughly N20 million per week. He does, however, occasionally make between $7,000 and $10,000. “I usually take home between $1,500 and $2,000 because TikTok would have already deducted their percentage from every dollar that comes in,” he said.

He makes calculated decisions and makes sure not to go online every day because fans will become tired of him, Peller added.
