Return My Glory! – Drama as TikTok Star Peller Confronts Fan Over Alleged Spiritual Attack at Lagos Mall

Shock gripped onlookers at a bustling Lagos mall over the weekend when viral TikTok sensation Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, erupted in fury after a man unexpectedly touched his head, prompting the influencer to chase him down while yelling, “Give me back my glory!”

The incident, captured in a now-viral video on Saturday, June 15, 2025, shows Peller sitting in his car, interacting with a crowd of fans when a man reached through the car window and placed his hand directly on the center of his head. What seemed like an innocent gesture quickly spiraled into a spiritual showdown.

Peller leaped out of his car, shouting that the man was attempting to “steal his glory,” and stormed after him through the crowd. The influencer eventually caught up with the individual and demanded—forcefully—that he return his “glory” before letting him go and returning to his vehicle visibly agitated.

Spectators appeared stunned, while many online have interpreted the gesture as more than physical. The TikTok star, known for mixing comic skits with intense spiritual undertones, has publicly hinted at his sensitivity to spiritual energies. Following the confrontation, several netizens defended his reaction, arguing that head-touching can carry significant spiritual implications in African culture.

Social media has since exploded with diverse takes. One fan wrote, “That hand placement was not ordinary o,” while another added, “Peller didn’t even wait to think—he moved spiritually first!” Others praised him for being spiritually alert, citing his past declaration during the 2023 Hallelujah Challenge where he claimed he was a “child of glory” after gospel minister Nathaniel Bassey reportedly called out a name that sounded like his.

Peller’s history of spiritual expression and his belief in personal energy have fueled speculation that the viral video was not staged, as some critics suggested. According to close sources, Peller often performs spiritual cleansing rituals after large gatherings or physical contact with strangers. His followers believe this incident proves why.

The streamer, who commands a massive Gen Z audience across TikTok and Instagram, has yet to officially comment on the incident, but the trending hashtag #ReturnMyGlory has taken over Nigerian social media. Whether prank or paranoia, the scene has re-ignited conversations around spirituality, consent, and celebrity vulnerability in the digital age.
