Early life
Peller was born in 2005.[4] He attended Providence Primary School for his primary education and later Frontrunner Academy for his secondary education.[5]
Career
Inspired by Kai Cenat, Fanum, IShowSpeed, and Duke, Peller launched his career in 2021.[6] Initially, his efforts garnered little attention, but he persevered. In 2024, he launched his comedy series, Peller's Palava, after collaborating with Nigerian TikToker Jadrolita (Javis).[7]
His popularity soared when Nigerian-Canadian rapper Dax joined him on a live stream.[8] Additionally, rapper Olamide co-signed him during live sessions.[9] Peller's breakthrough culminated in winning "Best Content Creator" at the Trace Awards Africa on 8 July 2024.[10]
Personal life
In 2025, Peller announced his conversion to Christianity from Islam, attributing his decision partly to childhood trauma experienced at a traditional Quranic school, which had gradually alienated him from his former faith.[11][12][13]
On 21 January 2026, popular American streamer, Darren Jason Watkins Jr, professionally known as IShowSpeed, held a birthday livestream tour in Nigeria.[14] Peller was seen attempting to approach IShowSpeed during the livestream, but was intercepted by the streamer's bodyguard.[15] Some hours later, Peller chased after IShowSpeed's convoy on a horse, trying to get the American streamer's attention, but was ignored.[16][17][18][19][20]
