Popular Nigerian streamer and TikTok content creator Habeeb Hamzat, better known as Peller, has sparked controversy after telling his young paternal half-sister that he does not recognise her as his sibling during a family visit.

During the visit, the young girl came to welcome Peller into their home, but the streamer's comment sparked reactions as he rejected the young lady as being his sister.
The content creator who recently proposed to Jarvis in Ghana explained that only children born to his own mother qualify as his siblings, drawing a clear line within the polygamous family structure.
However, Peller acknowledged the girl as his paternal sister and a member of his wider family.
The statement, made openly in front of fans and relatives, quickly spread online and has since ignited heated debate among fans.
Reactions have been mixed. A small number of followers expressed understanding, interpreting his words as an attempt to set boundaries.
Yet the larger share of fans condemned the public rejection, describing it as harsh and insensitive, especially in Yoruba culture, where extended family ties are deeply valued regardless of maternal lines.

@d49978:
“He could have found a way to appreciate and support those ladies he referred to as sisters instead of making it difficult for them to show their faces in public or downplaying the love and support they showed him.”
@Qweezy_1:
“Na why we dey discourage polygamy be this. It's always me and my mom's kids, or in the case of none, me and my mama, forgetting you have siblings from your dad's. There is little to no love from your dad's siblings. Only minority exhibit love in a polygamous home.”
@EmediongTG:
“People often judge him, but they do not understand the emotional and financial stress of a polygamous home. He's trying to set boundaries so he doesn't go broke. Success should be a blessing, not a trap.”
