In a dramatic turn of events, popular TikTok sensation Khalid, famously known as TikTok King, emerged victorious against Habeeb, popularly called Peller, in their most anticipated TikTok Live match.
The showdown, which garnered massive online attention, saw Peller setting a new record as the most-watched TikToker in Africa with over 260,000 live viewers. However, despite this milestone, TikTok King secured the win with a staggering 13 million+ coins, overshadowing Peller’s 4 million+ coins.
The outcome of the battle has ignited widespread reactions, with many attributing Peller’s loss to his recent controversy involving the #30DaysRantChallenge. Days before the match, Peller found himself at the center of criticism after advising his followers not to use TikTok to voice their grievances about Nigeria’s economic hardships.
He argued that excessive complaints might prompt the federal government to ban the platform, a statement that infuriated many of his fans.
This led to a wave of unfollowing and backlash before Peller later issued a clarification.
The live match, closely monitored by Lagos Reporters, witnessed intense engagement from fans on both sides. While Peller achieved an unprecedented live viewership record, TikTok King's overwhelming coin support proved to be the deciding factor in securing his victory.
Now, with Peller losing to TikTok King, many believe the controversy played a role in his defeat. Social media users speculate that had he not angered his fans, he could have garnered more support and possibly won the match.
Despite the loss, Peller’s record-breaking viewership solidifies his influence on the platform, proving that his presence in the TikTok space remains significant.
Meanwhile, TikTok King’s triumph further cements his dominance, demonstrating that engagement and support go beyond just numbers.
As reactions continue to pour in, this battle will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most talked-about events in Nigeria’s TikTok history.
