In a bold declaration that’s sparking buzz across social media, 19-year-old Nigerian streamer Peller has proclaimed himself the ultimate connector in the digital world, boasting that he can effortlessly set up livestreams with any celebrity—dead or alive—from anywhere on the planet.
The Ikorodu-born content creator, whose real name is Habib Hamza and who has amassed a massive following on platforms like TikTok and Instagram with his high-energy pranks and viral challenges, dropped the mic in a recent interview clip that’s already racking up millions of views. “I can do a livestream with any celebrity in the world,” Peller declared confidently, addressing critics who he feels have been “downgrading” his achievements. “In this streaming thing, I have really tried. So if I say I wan do livestream with person, make una no come dey downgrade me.”
Peller’s audacious claim isn’t just hot air, according to fans and insiders. The teen sensation recently made headlines by going live with Afrobeats icon Davido, a session that reportedly came together after Davido’s manager reached out to coordinate the details. What started as a casual shoutout from Peller snowballed into a full-blown collaboration, showcasing his knack for turning viral moments into real connections. He even teased future collabs, hinting at a potential stateside stream with media personality Tunde Ednut in America.
At just 19, Peller’s rise has been meteoric. From humble beginnings in Ikorodu, Lagos, he exploded onto the scene during the 2023 TikTok ban in Nigeria, pivoting seamlessly to Instagram Live where his unfiltered style and celebrity roasts drew in over 1 million followers overnight. His signature “Peller Wahala” series—featuring outrageous dares and street interviews—has not only entertained but also positioned him as a bridge between everyday Nigerians and the global elite. Past guests have included the likes of Brain Jotter and other local stars, but Peller’s latest boast elevates the game to international heights.
Social media erupted in response, with reactions ranging from awe to playful skepticism. One X user quipped, “Peller say he fit link Elon Musk? Abeg make e try!” while another defended him: “This boy no dey play. From Davido to worldwide—na king we dey see.” Even Olamide, the YBNL boss, amplified the clip on his page, captioning it with laughing emojis: “You guys need to stop downgrading me 😂.”
As streaming evolves into a powerhouse for cultural exchange, Peller’s confidence could redefine accessibility in entertainment. Will he deliver on the promise—perhaps roping in a Hollywood A-lister or even a historical figure via AI wizardry? Only time (and maybe a live link-up) will tell. For now, the streamer is proving that in the age of the internet, no celebrity is out of reach.
