Introduction
Popular streamer Peller has hit back at rapper Ycee after the latter criticised what he calls “Peller culture” in Nigeria.
Ycee’s Original Critique
In a widely shared interview, Ycee expressed concern that Nigerian society no longer rewards academic achievement, arguing that many youths now think they can gain fame and wealth by posting frivolous content online, which draws views, interaction and revenue.
Peller’s Rebuttal
During a live broadcast, Peller dismissed Ycee’s comments, questioning the rapper’s stance on content creators.
“Some OGs don’t deserve respect. This kind Ycee man, now see wetin elderly man dey talk. You people bring music promotion to the so‑called olodo, na the same people una dey promote and beg with small money.”
Peller’s Argument About Industry Dynamics
He pointed out that many musicians who disparage online creators still depend on influencers and streamers to push their tracks and increase their exposure.
Furthermore, Peller stressed that content creators have become a vital component of the entertainment ecosystem, enabling artists to reach broader audiences via social media.
“Na online una sabi give money. When una wan promote music, na still these same people una dey run come meet.”
Public Reaction and Ongoing Debate
The exchange ignited online discussion, with some backing Ycee’s worries about education, while others defended Peller, asserting that creating content is now a legitimate profession.
The feud between the two entertainers continues to draw reactions as fans evaluate the rising impact of social‑media creators on Nigeria’s entertainment scene.
