Tiktoker Peller Loses Nearly 1 Million Followers After Criticizing Viral Rant Challenge

Popular TikTok influencer Habeeb Hamzat, widely recognized as Peller, has experienced a significant decline in his follower count on both TikTok and Instagram. This drop comes after his remarks about the trending 30-day rant challenge sparked controversy.

In a widely circulated video, Peller criticized Nigerians participating in the challenge, warning that such activities could lead to the government imposing a ban on TikTok in Nigeria.

The influencer, who gained fame through his live TikTok videos, advised those engaging in the challenge to express their frustrations on Instagram or in public spaces like markets instead of using TikTok.

“If you really want to rant, go to Instagram or the market; don’t do it on TikTok. If TikTok gets banned, that will be a major problem,” he stated in the viral clip.

According to a report by TVC, following his comments, Peller has lost nearly 500,000 followers on TikTok and 400,000 on Instagram, signaling backlash from his audience.
