Early life

Peller was born on 10 May 2005, in Ikorodu, Lagos State, to Yoruba parents. [5] He attended Providence Primary School for his primary education and later Frontrunner Academy for his secondary education. [6]

Career

Inspired by Kai Cenat, Fanum, IShowSpeed, and Duke, Peller launched his career in 2021. [7] Initially, his efforts garnered little attention, but he persevered. In 2024, he launched his comedy series, Peller's Palava, after collaborating with Nigerian TikToker Jadrolita (Javis). [8]

His popularity soared when Nigerian-Canadian rapper Dax joined him on a live stream. [9] Additionally, rapper Olamide co-signed him during live sessions. [10] Peller's breakthrough culminated in winning "Best Content Creator" at the Trace Awards Africa on 8 July 2024. [11]

Personal life

In 2025, Peller announced his conversion to Christianity from Islam, attributing his decision partly to childhood trauma experienced at a traditional Quranic school, which had gradually alienated him from his former faith. [12] [13] [14]
