Peller had pleaded with their fans to support them in their little way for the N30m required to perform the surgery on the TikToker.

Reacting to the donations, a dentist identified as @Dentalgiorgio on X argued that the amount requested for the surgery is outrageous, rather, it costs less than 1% of the required donation to get the surgery done at his centre.

“Not to be a spoiler, but this so called surgery costs about 200k in my centre, adding tests, biopsy, admission charges and feeding, it’s not up to 500k talk less of a million. This is a detty December fundraising. That’s all I can say,” he wrote while quoting the video.

Corroborating the claim, another user identified as @Phatill affirmed that it cost twice as much as the dentist stated to get the tumor surgery done at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH.

“Exactly #405,000 at LASUTH this time last year. Social media is a hard drug,” she added.
