Nigerian online streamer and content creator Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has appealed to his critics for understanding, reminding them that he is still very young and learning his way in life.
Peller, who has built a massive following through his TikTok livestreams, has recently come under heavy criticism over some of his controversial remarks during broadcasts. The backlash has triggered conversations across social media, with many questioning his content style.
In a statement shared on his Instagram page, the 20-year-old expressed disappointment at the intensity of the criticism directed at him, describing it as unusual for someone his age to face such public scrutiny.
“I streamed almost six hours, but a 30-second clip with good intention is being pushed to paint me wrongly. This happens often—negative clips get picked while the hours of work and joy are ignored,” Peller wrote.
He further explained that his critics often magnify isolated mistakes while overlooking the entertainment value and effort he brings to his streams. According to him, this selective outrage leaves him feeling unfairly judged.
Peller also spoke candidly about the emotional toll of the backlash, revealing that, despite his young age, he has had to cope with an overwhelming amount of negativity.
“I’m just 20, still figuring life out, trying to provide for myself and my family. Sometimes it feels like people don’t care if I break down or even lose myself in the process,” he added.
Despite feeling dragged down by the constant criticism, Peller maintained that he remains determined to keep pushing forward.
“I’ve never seen a 20-year-old dragged, put down, and torn apart like I am… but every single time, I rise again,” he declared.
The streamer’s appeal highlights the growing pressures faced by young online creators navigating fame in the era of viral clips and cancel culture.
