Jarvis has asked Peller to retract his money-laundering allegation against her or face legal action.
Glamtush reports that the management of popular TikTok creator, Amadou Elizabeth, also known as Jadrolita or Jarvis, has threatened legal action against fellow creator, Hamzat Habeeb, popularly called Peller, over allegations linking her to money laundering.
In a recent TikTok livestream, Peller claimed that money laundering takes place on the platform through the gifting system, and suggested that Jarvis was involved in such activities.
Clips from the livestream are already circulating on social media, with the creator stating that he thought Jarvis was rich until she revealed the secret.
He also alleged that a “gifter” who supported him during a livestream once asked for a 50:50 share of the money generated from TikTok gifting, an offer he said he declined, and referenced this as an example of what he described as how people launder money through gifting on TikTok.
Later, the duo cleared the air on the matter and through their recent activity on social media, it was observed that they had made up.
However, in a statement on Sunday, the management of Jarvis, Aiso Entertainment with the Instagram handle #aisohub, reacted to the controversy on TikTok, describing the allegation as false, defamatory, and damaging to her reputation.
In the statement, the management said the allegation was “patently false and malicious,” and insisted that Jarvis had never been involved in any illegal financial activity.
“The management of Jadrolita, alongside Jadrolita herself, unequivocally and categorically refutes this egregious claim in its entirety,” the statement read.
It added that Jarvis had “never engaged in any form of illicit financial conduct” and demanded that Peller issue an immediate public apology within 48 hours.
“We hereby demand that Peller and his management issue an immediate, unconditional, and publicly disseminated apology to Jadrolita and her team,” Aiso said, warning that failure to retract the statement would lead to legal action.
The management further said the allegation amounted to reputational sabotage and insisted that the matter would not be ignored.
