Popular Nigerian streamer Peller has once again found himself at the centre of online ridicule after a dramatic attempt to get the attention of American streaming sensation IShowSpeed — this time on a horse.
From Bodyguard Snub to Horseback Drama
Recall that IShowSpeed, who is currently touring Africa, recently arrived in Lagos, Nigeria, where he was welcomed by massive crowds of excited fans and content creators.
During an earlier encounter, Peller attempted to meet the American streamer but was forcefully blocked and bundled away by IShowSpeed’s bodyguard — a moment that already sparked heavy criticism online.
Peller Takes the Chase to Another Level
In a fresh viral video, Peller was seen chasing after IShowSpeed’s moving convoy on a horse through the streets of Lagos.
While riding, the TikTok star repeatedly begged Speed to notice him, insisting that he is also a big streamer and influencer in Nigeria.
In his words:
“Please I’m a streamer. I’m big. Please let’s do something. I have suffered because of you.”
Despite the dramatic display, IShowSpeed did not acknowledge him, leaving Peller ignored yet again — a moment many Nigerians described as painfully embarrassing.
Nigerians React: ‘Go Home, This One No Go Work’
The incident quickly ignited reactions across social media, with many users accusing Peller of overdoing things and damaging his own brand.
Here are some reactions:
- @beri_grizou: “Shame wear me labubu bro.”
- @ojembaenweilo: “Peller just go home. This thing no go work with IShowSpeed.”
- @LFC_kenny12: “Na where one person grace stop, na hin another person own start.”
- @MubarakBalogun: “You’re big ke? Ni iwaju tani? 😂 E be like say Wiz dey say e big where Burna and Drake dey.”
Public Sympathy Turns to Second-Hand Embarrassment
While some initially sympathised with Peller after the first snub, many Nigerians now believe the repeated attempts — especially the horseback chase — crossed the line from persistence into desperation.
As IShowSpeed continues his Lagos tour, the internet remains divided:
Was Peller simply hustling for collaboration, or did he embarrass himself beyond repair?
