Peller Clarifies Davido Live Stream Remarks, Says Wizkid Collaboration Would Be a Career Milestone
Lagos, Nigeria – September 5, 2025 – Nigerian TikTok sensation Habeeb Hamzat Adelaja, popularly known as Peller, has stirred online buzz with comments about his past live stream with Afrobeats icon Davido and his hopes of collaborating with Wizkid. In a recent TikTok live session, Peller revealed that his YouTube stream with Davido was not the “true streaming” experience he envisioned, emphasizing that TikTok is his preferred platform. He also expressed that featuring Wizkid on his TikTok live would be a transformative moment, stating, “If I see Wizkid like this, I swear to almighty God, I don big for life.”
Peller, who recently acquired a multimillion-naira mansion, clarified that his fans had encouraged him to use YouTube for the Davido stream, which led to the mismatch in expectations. “The streaming wey me and Davido do no be streaming o. The original streaming na here,” he said, referring to TikTok, as reported by Naija News. His remarks triggered varied reactions online. Some netizens, like X user @ehmeeisaac, criticized Peller, saying, “Streaming with Davido no be streaming? This boy is getting very disrespectful.” Others, such as @BallWizardry, defended him, noting, “He meant that the app he used in streaming with Davido is not what he should have used.”
The TikToker’s ambition to host Wizkid stems from his belief that such a collaboration would significantly boost his brand. Despite his efforts, Peller revealed in a November 2024 TikTok session with Skales that his messages to Wizkid had not been delivered, though he remains hopeful. His October 2024 live stream with Davido, which garnered over 389,800 viewers, holds the record as Africa’s most-watched TikTok live, according to Premium Times.
As Peller continues to bridge Afrobeats stars like Olamide and Tiwa Savage with Gen Z audiences, his pursuit of a Wizkid feature keeps fans eagerly watching. The controversy has also reignited discussions about the Davido-Wizkid rivalry, though Peller’s focus remains on growing his platform.
