- Kemi Olunloyo has made fresh allegations about expensive TikTok gifts received by Nigerian livestreamers, mentioning Peller and others.
- She claimed some gifts may be linked to fraud, sparking heated reactions online.
Controversial investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo has stirred reactions online after making serious allegations about the source of expensive virtual gifts received by some Nigerian livestreamers on TikTok.
She spoke in a recent video amid the ongoing online dispute involving popular creators Peller and Joblaq, where she questioned how certain streamers receive massive gifts during live sessions.
According to Olunloyo, some of the expensive TikTok gifts may allegedly be linked to fraudulent activities involving stolen credit cards, though no official evidence has been presented to support the claims.
“There’s a phenomenon in Nigeria where when someone goes live on TikTok and they get gifts. Those gifts could be coins, animals, lions, money gun. It’s these gifts that streamers depend on.”
She further alleged that some fraudsters use stolen credit cards to purchase gifts on TikTok and then allegedly share proceeds with streamers after cashing out.
“At the end of the day, why are some streamers getting huge gifts on TikTok? Who are the people gifting them? Are they real or are they just fake.
Let me explain it to you. They are real gifts and they come from fraudsters. These fraudsters steal credit cards and use them for gifts on social media.”
Olunloyo also mentioned creators such as Peller and Carter Efe while questioning the scale of earnings from livestreams.
“Carter Efe, Peller and every other streamer in Nigeria get big gifts. So who are these guys giving them the big gifts? And why them?”
She went further to claim that international authorities may already be monitoring such activities.
“By the end of the year FBI might pick up Peller and all the gifters.”
Her comments have since generated mixed reactions online, with some calling for proper investigations while others criticized the claims as speculative and unverified.
