The management of popular TikTok creator Amadou Elizabeth, known to fans as Jadrolita or Jarvis, has threatened to take legal action against fellow creator Hamzat Habeeb, popularly called Peller, over allegations linking her to money laundering activities on the platform.
The controversy began after Peller, during a recent TikTok livestream, claimed that money laundering occurs on the app through its gifting system and suggested that Jarvis might be involved in such practices.
Clips from the livestream have since gone viral across social media, showing Peller stating that he initially thought Jarvis was wealthy until “she revealed the secret.” He also alleged that a TikTok gifter once offered him a 50:50 share of proceeds generated during a stream — a deal he refused — claiming it as an example of how money could allegedly be laundered through virtual gifting.
Although both creators later appeared to have reconciled following public interactions suggesting they had cleared the air, the issue resurfaced when Jarvis’s management issued a formal response.
In a statement released on Sunday, her management company, Aiso Entertainment (via Instagram handle @aisohub), described the allegations as “patently false, malicious, and defamatory.”
“The management of Jadrolita, alongside Jadrolita herself, unequivocally and categorically refutes this egregious claim in its entirety,” the statement read.
The management stressed that Jarvis had never engaged in any form of illegal financial activity, warning that such claims were damaging to her image and brand reputation.

“We hereby demand that Peller and his management issue an immediate, unconditional, and publicly disseminated apology to Jadrolita and her team,” the statement continued. “Failure to do so within 48 hours will result in legal action.”
Aiso Entertainment maintained that the accusation amounted to reputational sabotage and emphasized that the matter would not be taken lightly.
Despite the tension, fans have urged both creators to resolve the issue privately and maintain professionalism within Nigeria’s fast-growing TikTok community.
