In the viral video, shared by @TheDamiForeign on March 31, 2025, the boy is seen sobbing uncontrollably, pouring his heart out to viewers. “Help me beg Peller to unblock and help me,” he cries, revealing that he has no idea what he did to deserve the cold shoulder from the now-famous content creator.
The video includes a nostalgic clip from 2019/2020, showing the two friends creating content together—back when life was simpler, and dreams were shared. But fast forward to today, and the boy claims Peller has left him in the dust, taking another friend, Joe Black, along for the ride to stardom while he’s left struggling in Ikorodu.
“I no get food to eat,” the boy laments, accusing Peller of blocking him across all social media platforms and abandoning him in his time of need. He begs for forgiveness, hoping Peller will see the video and have a change of heart. The raw emotion in his voice, paired with images of him looking destitute—one clip even shows him standing near a bucket, possibly scavenging—has struck a chord with netizens, sparking a heated debate online.
Peller, whose real name is Habeeb Hamzat, has been a rising star in Nigeria’s digital space. According to gobio.com.ng, the 19-year-old (born May 10, 2005) shot to fame as a TikTok influencer and online streamer, even winning the “Best Content Creator” award at the Trace Awards Africa on July 8, 2024. His live streams have featured big names like Nigerian-Canadian rapper Dax and got a co-sign from Olamide, cementing his status as a Gen Z icon. But with great fame comes great drama, and this fallout with his old friend is putting Peller’s loyalty under the microscope.
X users are divided. Some sympathize with the boy, with one commenting, “Nawa o..me sef wan blow o,” while others, like @Cleverlydey4u, take a more pragmatic stance: “Na life, no be everybody go make am for top.”
@OMOYORUBA0 called out the boy for acting entitled, saying, “Move on bro… Being entitled is one of the stupid nature of men,” while @TheDamiForeign himself questioned, “But why Peller go block am?” The comments section is a mix of laughter, shade, and real talk, with some joking about the boy’s plight—“Your time never reach go baff soap,” quipped @kenzyjay01—while others urged him to “go work.”
Ikorodu, where the boy is reportedly struggling, has its own set of challenges. A 2016 article from guardian.ng highlights the town’s issues with poor infrastructure and insecurity, despite its appeal as a more affordable part of Lagos. The boy’s mention of suffering in Ikorodu paints a stark contrast to Peller’s glittering rise, adding a layer of socio-economic tension to this personal drama.
