Can you tip me extra?
I cannot think up a direct equivalent in English so I think you should just stick to the facts in this sentence - the guy is asking for more tips.

Give me some love with your tip?
This is a playful, indirect way for asking for a higher tip. You don't want to be blunt about it "Can you tip me extra?", but half-joking, lightly asking for a bit of help.
Example sentence:
If you enjoy the video give me some love with that like button
