The management of popular TikTok creator Amadou Elizabeth, widely known as Jadrolita or Jarvis, has threatened legal action against fellow creator Hamzat Habeeb, also known as Peller, over allegations linking her to money laundering.
During a recent TikTok livestream, Peller alleged that money laundering takes place on the platform through its gifting system and suggested that Jarvis was involved in such activities.
Clips of the livestream circulated on social media, with Peller claiming that he initially believed Jarvis was rich until she “revealed the secret.”

He also alleged that a “gifter” who supported him during a livestream once offered a 50:50 share of the money generated by TikTok giveaways, an offer he said he rejected, citing it as an example of how people allegedly launder money through giveaways on the app.
Although both creators appeared to reconcile following their recent interactions on social media, Jarvis’ management, Aiso Entertainment, dismissed the allegations as false and defamatory.
In a statement shared on Sunday via its Instagram account, #aisohub, management described the claims as “patently false and malicious,” and maintained that Jarvis had never been involved in any illegal financial activity.
“Jadrolita’s management, together with Jadrolita itself, unequivocally and categorically refutes this egregious claim in its entirety,” the statement read.
Additionally, he stressed that Jarvis “had never engaged in any type of illicit financial conduct” and demanded that Peller publicly apologize within 48 hours.
“We hereby demand that Peller and his management present an immediate, unconditional and publicly broadcast apology to Jadrolita and his team,” Aiso said, warning that failure to do so would result in legal action.
Management added that the allegation amounted to reputational sabotage and stated that the matter would not be ignored.
