Video: Social Media Buzz As Fan Prefers TikTok Follow To ₦250,000 For Sick Mother
By Benjamin Abioye
A trending social media moment has triggered heated conversations online after popular TikTok personality, Peller, asked a fan to choose between receiving a ₦250,000 cash gift or getting a follow-back from him. The fan, who reportedly claimed his mother was sick, chose the social-media follow instead of the money, a decision that has drawn widespread criticism.
In a video posted on X, the young man was seen having a brief conversation with Peller before making his choice. Viewers expressed disbelief as the fan prioritised being followed on TikTok over a financial gift that many believe could have supported his mother. The clip has since gathered significant attention across platforms, with intense debates trailing the incident.
