Meet Peller, Nigeria’s TikTok Superstar

TikTok has become extremely popular, allowing creative people to share their talents and connect with many others.

They can showcase their skills through various forms of content, including music, comedy, and live streams.

Thanks to the app, a new wave of influencers, musicians, and content creators are emerging and transforming the entertainment industry.

Habeeb Hamzat, aka Peller, is a talented young TikToker from Nigeria.

He has won fans over with his genuine humour and charming personality.

Peller began his TikTok journey in 2023, at the age of 19, with Kai Cenat being one of his biggest inspirations.

He currently boasts over 8.9 million followers on TikTok and 318.9 million likes.

Peller began making videos, going live, and streaming, and soon realised he loved making people laugh.

He’s known for speaking funny English, wearing silly costumes, and having hilarious live conversations with people on TikTok.

Peller’s outburst was further fueled by his collaboration with Elizabeth Aminata Amadu, also known as Jadrolita or Jarvis.

This collaboration was a major breakthrough for both, as they entertained their fans with funny videos and live streams.

He’s talented at freestyling and creating content on the spot. Celebrities often join Peller’s live streams, and he has fans watching from all around the world.

Last year, Peller broke a record on TikTok for the most-watched livestream, with over 100,000 viewers tuning in.

Peller started his comedy series “Peller’s Palava” last year.

Peller’s Achievements

In a recent interview on Rubbin Minds with Ebuka, Peller shared how he earns money from his TikTok live streams.

According to Peller, his live sessions on TikTok generate most of his income.

He explained, “I could have a live session and talk for a while and at the end of it, I could have $3000 for 30 minutes. I don’t do live sessions every day because you don’t want people to see your face too much.”

“I used to see $7000, $8000 so when I saw $10,000 I was surprised. TikTok takes a percentage though but in a week I make 20 million Naira on an average,” he added.

Last year, Peller broke the Guinness world record for the longest live YouTube stream.

He holds the record for the most-watched YouTube stream in Africa, with 76k views, surpassing his previous record of 60k with Olamide.

Peller has won different awards, including the ‘TikTok Influencer of The Year’ and ‘Next Gen Influencer of The Year.’ He won these at the 2024 Pulse Influencer Awards.

At the 2024 Trace Awards Africa, Peller also won the ‘Best Content Creator’ award.
