Nigerian social media personality Hamzat Habeeb Adelaja, popularly known as Peller, has urged people facing pregnancy decisions to consider continuing their pregnancies, describing pregnancy as a positive development and speaking against abortion.
The TikTok star made the remarks during a livestream in which he also addressed criticism surrounding his relationship with his wife, fellow content creator Jarvis, and questions raised by online commentators about the paternity of their expected child.
Peller expressed frustration with critics who had questioned his relationship and called for a DNA test, arguing that people who previously doubted the couple’s relationship were now finding new reasons to criticise them.
During the livestream, he also shared his personal views on pregnancy termination, urging expectant parents to keep their babies.
His comments have brought together two subjects that frequently generate strong reactions on social media: public scrutiny of celebrity relationships and differing views on pregnancy and reproductive decisions.
While Peller’s remarks reflect his personal position, pregnancy-related decisions can involve complex medical, personal and social circumstances. Individuals facing such decisions should have access to accurate medical information and appropriate professional support.
The episode also highlights how livestreams and other social media platforms have become spaces where entertainers share personal opinions directly with audiences, often generating wider public discussion beyond the original broadcast.
Peller’s remarks are likely to attract differing responses from followers, reflecting broader debates about personal beliefs, reproductive choices and the influence of online personalities on public conversations.
