Popular comedian and actor Woli Arole has shared thoughtful advice with TikToker Peller following the social media buzz around his failed attempts to meet American streamer IShowSpeed during the latter’s visit to Lagos.
Taking to Instagram, Arole applauded Peller’s confidence and persistence but stressed the need for structure, maturity, and guidance as his influence continues to grow.
“My words to @peller089. I celebrate your audacity despite you being BIG here in Nigeria, you wanted to meet ‘Ishow Speed’ when he came to Nigeria, that’s some guts there!. Despite what seems 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 with grace, not just to rubbish him,” Arole wrote.
He followed up with direct advice on personal and brand development, urging the content creator to invest in education, strong management, and experienced mentors.
“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 to, too. Life is more than fame. Peller, you’re our goat here. God bless you!!!”
Arole also resurfaced an old video in which Peller said he would ignore IShowSpeed if the streamer ever visited Nigeria, using it as a lesson on the importance of being mindful of words and actions, particularly in the public space.
Videos of Peller chasing IShowSpeed’s convoy, attempting to climb a vehicle, and even riding a horse through traffic had earlier gone viral, sparking mixed reactions online.
Amid the criticism, socialite Cubana Chief Priest came out in support of Peller, insisting that there is no shame in making bold attempts to achieve one’s ambitions.
