Peller, the young boy from Ikorodu, Lagos State, Nigeria, is on a bold mission to transform Ghanaian dancehall icon Shatta Wale into an internationally recognized brand. At just 19 years old, the fast-rising TikTok star, born Habeeb Hamzat, has become a household name in the African content creation space and is now expanding his influence into music and international branding.
With a little bit over 10 million followers and 360 million likes on TikTok, Peller has grown from a relatable neighborhood creator to a digital powerhouse. Known for his high energy livestreams and a unique blend of English and Yoruba, Peller’s charisma and consistency has earned him massive fan loyalty and recognition across the continent.
During a recent visit to Accra, Ghana, Shatta Wale welcomed Peller with VIP treatment, a gesture that sparked both admiration and criticism online. However, the partnership between the Nigerian influencer and the Ghanaian superstar appears to be more than a casual meetup. According to Peller, his goal is to use his digital influence and creativity to help reposition Shatta Wale as a global brand.
“Shatta Wale is a legend in Africa. I’m just here to amplify his voice and connect him with the world.”
Peller’s rise has been nothing short of phenomenal. Since beginning his content creation journey in 2021, he has collaborated with high profile names such as Dax and Olamide. In July 2024, he was honored with the Best Content Creator award at the Trace Awards Africa. Not stopping at content, Peller recently released his debut single titled Pellerpopi, which was well received by fans across Nigeria and Ghana.
His mission to elevate Shatta Wale comes at a time when African entertainment is gaining increasing global attention. Industry analysts believe that partnerships like these signal a new wave of collaboration between digital creators and musicians across the continent.
