The management of popular TikToker Amadou Elizabeth, known as Jadrolita or Jarvis, has threatened legal action against Hamzat Habeeb, also called Peller, over a money laundering allegation.
The dispute began after Peller, during a livestream, accused some TikTok creators of laundering money through the platform’s gifting feature.
He implied that Jarvis was involved, and the allegation quickly spread across social media platforms, sparking controversy and mixed reactions among fans.
According to Aiso Entertainment, which manages Jarvis, the accusation was false, defamatory and damaging to her public image and reputation.
“It has come to our attention, with profound dismay and indignation, that Hamzat Habeeb Adelaja, popularly known as Peller, recently disseminated a patently false and malicious allegation via social media,” the statement read.
The management said such remarks could mislead viewers and negatively affect Jarvis’s professional relationships with brand partners and collaborators.
“This contrived falsehood not only lacks any shred of evidence but represents a deliberate and unconscionable assault on Jadrolita’s sterling reputation,” the company stated.
However, Aiso Entertainment described the claim as patently false and malicious and demanded a public apology within 48 hours.
“The management of Jadrolita, alongside Jadrolita herself, unequivocally and categorically refutes this egregious claim in its entirety,” it added.
“Failure to comply within 48 hours will compel us to pursue all available legal remedies to vindicate Jadrolita’s rights and hold accountable those responsible for this reputational sabotage.”
Before this dispute, Jarvis and Peller had been close collaborators on TikTok, building their friendship through shared content and creative projects.
They first connected in 2023 after a duet challenge that went viral, earning them thousands of followers and putting them in the light of the most entertaining duos on the platform.
Over time, their partnership grew beyond the app. They often appeared on each other’s livestreams, exchanged virtual gifts, and collaborated on dance and comedy skits that showcased their easy chemistry. Fans admired how effortlessly they complemented each other, with many describing them as “TikTok’s favourite pair.”
Their friendship also extended offline, as both creators publicly supported each other’s personal milestones and creative growth. When Jarvis celebrated her one million follower milestone, Peller was among the first to congratulate her publicly, calling her “a hardworking woman who deserves every win.” Their camaraderie had inspired other upcoming creators to believe in mutual support and teamwork.
Although both creators later interacted online, suggesting a brief reconciliation, Aiso Entertainment said the issue remains unresolved.
“Jadrolita remains resolute in her pursuit of positive impact and creative expression, undeterred by the shadows cast by envy or misinformation,” the company added.
