Nigerian content creator Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller and self-proclaimed King of TikTok, will on March 31 battle for the title of the most influential on the online video platform.

The battle will see Peller, with over nine million followers on the platform, and the UK-based TikTok live gamer, with over 850,000, go on TikTok live by 9:00 p.m. (WAT), with their fans gifting them virtual coins as gifts.

In the battle, the content creator who earns the highest coins is crowned the most influential. The virtual currency is approximately 1.4 U.S. cents and can be used to purchase other gifts on the platform.

Peller, who came into the limelight in 2023 for his streaming and gaming content, is also known for his continued collaboration with TikTok “Human AI” content creator Elizabeth Amadou, popularly known as Jarvis.

Peller started his career in 2021, drawing inspiration from global content creators like Kai Cenat, IShowSpeed, and Duke.

On the other hand, the “King of TikTok” is a live gamer who plays games with his fans, who send him coins.

The battle banner was posted on his TikTok page, and fans had various reactions to it. 

A user, @Habeebulah Popoola, wrote, “Only if pellers gifters do not turn up, that’s when Peller will lose this game. Buh if they do, Trust me, the winning margin Peller will give TikTok King will be unbelievable.”

Another user, @Ade Charles, wrote, “I believe TikTok King will win the game as he is a full-time gamer. Peller is a streamer. One thing for sure is that this game will help Tiktok King a lot in terms of growth and popularity.”

“Gamer is different from streamer. Peller might lose this game based on the gamer wey TikTok King be. But in terms of recognition and popularity, Peller is far better than King. But both will gain from it,” @Abery Mastermind wrote.
