Popular Nigerian streamer, Peller, has sparked a wave of online reactions after claiming that his recent live session with music star Davido was not a “real stream” and declaring that meeting Wizkid would be the true game-changer in his career.
In a recent broadcast that has gone viral, Peller said although he once streamed with Davido, it didn’t feel like a true collaboration because it happened on YouTube, not his main platform, TikTok.
“If I meet Wizkid like this, I swear to Almighty God, I don big for life,” Peller said emotionally during the broadcast.
“Guys, you know say that streaming wey me and Davido do no be streaming o. The original streaming na here [TikTok]. Na you people push me go YouTube say make I go dey stream for YouTube. Una say make I no dey stream for TikTok, una say na YouTube be original streaming, I con go YouTube go dey stream…”
Peller’s remarks have stirred mixed reactions on social media. While some fans of Davido were quick to criticize him for being “ungrateful” and “disrespectful,” others defended him, saying he was only trying to explain the difference between streaming platforms and how they impact his growth as a content creator.
Peller is one of Nigeria’s fast-rising streamers known for his lively TikTok sessions and high energy broadcasts. He recently made headlines after acquiring a multimillion-naira house, further cementing his place as one of the success stories of Nigeria’s booming digital entertainment scene.
Many of his followers on TikTok consider him relatable and funny, which has helped him grow a loyal fanbase. His passion for Afrobeats artists and viral reactions during livestreams have also helped him build a name.
At the heart of Peller’s statement is the ongoing debate among content creators about which platform offers better engagement and visibility. While YouTube is seen as a more global, long-form content hub, TikTok has emerged as the go-to for viral content and live interactions, especially among younger Nigerians.
Peller made it clear that his main influence and fan support come from TikTok, not YouTube.
“The original streaming na here [TikTok],” he insisted.
This has raised discussions about how creators view their platforms and what counts as a “big break” in today’s entertainment world.
As expected, reactions have been strong on both sides.
A TikTok user commented:
“Make una leave Peller, he’s just saying his truth. Wizkid go blow am pass!”
Another Twitter/X user said:
“Davido gave you exposure and you dey talk like this? No respect at all.”
Neither Davido nor Wizkid has responded publicly to the comments, but the buzz around the issue continues to grow, with fans divided on whether Peller crossed the line or was just speaking honestly about his career goals.
