Comedian and actor Woli Arole has urged Nigerian streamer Peller to be cautious after his widely discussed attempts to meet American streamer IShowSpeed in Lagos.
On Friday, Arole shared a picture of Peller on Instagram and wrote:
“My words to @peller089. I celebrate your AUDACITY despite you being BIG here in Nigeria you wanted to meet ‘Ishow Speed’… Despite what seem like an embarrassment you still TRIED again. A lot of people bashing Peller don’t even have half of his INFLUENCE, MONEY or REACH so we must talk to him in Grace not just to rubbish him.
“My Candid Advice to you Peller: Please get a solid Management. Please seek education it will solidify your BRAND. Please have elderly people in your TEAM. Seek solid Branding. Overall don’t STOP. Be careful how you talk, words carry POWER. Be cautious of PRIDE it can make anyone FALL. Learn to listen when you’re talked too, life is more than FAME. Peller you’re our GOAT for here. God bless you!!!”
Arole also reposted an old video of Peller saying he would ignore IShowSpeed if he ever came to Nigeria. He added that words carry power and advised Peller to be careful about what he says.
The advice follows Peller’s attempts to meet IShowSpeed during his “Speed Does Africa” tour. Videos showed Peller running alongside the streamer’s convoy, trying to climb a vehicle, and riding a horse through traffic while calling out to him. Security prevented any interaction.
The incident sparked online debate about Peller’s previous statements and recent actions. Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest defended Peller, saying there is no shame in trying to achieve one’s goals. IShowSpeed later said his Africa tour was focused on showcasing culture and talent, not collaborations with local influencers.
