Peller's mother has stepped forward to publicly praise Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, recounting a friendship that stretches back years before her son became a household name.
In a video shared online, she described Iyabo as "a wonderful woman and an amazing mother," pushing back against any negative perception of the actress following the buzz surrounding Iyabo's visible bond with the groom's family at Peller's recent wedding.

A Bond Built Long Before Fame
The two women first crossed paths through work, and according to Peller's mother, Iyabo's generosity left a lasting impression.
Whenever the actress made trips to London, she would return with clothes and other items specifically for her children, without ever being asked. The pair also socialised frequently, attending events together nearly every day during that period.
That chapter eventually closed when Peller's mother made a painful personal decision. Her grandmother called her away from work one day with an urgent message: her children needed her at home, particularly her son Habeeb, who suffered from recurring illness. Taking the advice to heart, she stepped away from acting entirely to focus on raising her children.
"She advised me to step away from acting for a while and focus on raising them. After thinking about it, I made the difficult decision to leave acting and devote my time to my children," she recounted.
An Emotional Reunion at OGTV
The decision came at a cost. Losing her daily routine in the industry meant losing touch with Iyabo completely, with neither woman able to reach the other for a long stretch of years.
Their reconnection finally happened at an event hosted by OGTV, where their former boss Kamilu was the host.
The moment Iyabo spotted her, she called out, "Kudi, where have you been? I've been looking for you!" prompting an emotional reunion in front of onlookers.
Peller's mother noted that some friends present at the event doubted she genuinely knew the celebrity.
They challenged her to walk up and greet Iyabo, and the warm reception that followed settled the matter entirely.
She also revealed that the two women share a history that goes beyond casual acquaintance. She had lived in Iyabo's home at one point, and helped raise Iyabo's children, Festus and Priscilla, alongside the household staff.
Closing her tribute, Peller's mother said:
"My prayer is that she continues to enjoy the fruits of her labour. May God protect her and her children, and may she never experience the pain of losing any of them."
