Social media erupted with laughter, disbelief, and a flurry of reactions after a dramatic birthday incident between two friends, TikTok sensation Peller and former Portable signee Kolu, went viral, capturing the attention of thousands of online users across multiple platforms.
The incident began innocuously when Peller decided to send Kolu a generous ₦300,000 birthday gift as a token of friendship and celebration. However, what seemed like a simple gesture of goodwill quickly escalated into a saga filled with impatience, confusion, and a twist that left many users both entertained and stunned.
According to Peller, just six minutes after sending the ₦300,000, he became frustrated because Kolu had not acknowledged the gift or sent a simple thank-you message. Feeling unappreciated, Peller felt compelled to act, setting the stage for a plan that would soon go viral online.
Rather than directly demanding the money back, Peller crafted a clever scheme. He told Kolu, “Send it back, I’ll give you ₦500k instead. Send back the ₦300k. I want to send you ₦500k instead for your birthday.”
Excited by the prospect of receiving a larger sum, and unaware of Peller’s true intention, Kolu refunded the ₦300,000 promptly. Moments later, he discovered that the promised ₦500,000 never materialized, leaving him shocked and embarrassed at having fallen for the trick. This unexpected turn of events intensified the drama, making the story an instant hit on social media.
Reactions from online users were immediate and varied. Many expressed amusement at Peller’s “clever but cruel” tactic, while others sympathized with Kolu for being duped. The story quickly became a talking point, with friends, observers, and social media personalities sharing their own takes, memes, and jokes about the incident.
One commentator wrote, “Imagine waiting for your gift and ending up embarrassed instead. Poor Kolu!” while another joked, “That’s why you never trust a ‘double birthday gift’ offer. Lesson learned!” The mix of humor, betrayal, and cunning strategy ensured that the video circulated rapidly, garnering thousands of likes, comments, and shares in a short span of time.
The episode also sparked discussions on social etiquette, gratitude, and the pitfalls of trusting offers that seem too good to be true. Users debated whether Peller’s trick was harmless fun or a little too calculated, while others highlighted the importance of expressing gratitude promptly when receiving gifts.
