Instead of traditional television, he and his wife plan to share the event live across digital platforms.
“Me and my wife is streaming on Twitch. Twitch and YouTube and TikTok,” he said with his signature humour.
Peller added that while he appreciates DSTV’s interest, his identity as a streamer made the decision clear:
“Yes, DSTV, we love you. But me and my wife is streaming on Twitch… That TikToker for the dual ice radio.”
The announcement quickly drew attention online, with many interpreting it as a symbolic move.
For a creator who built his brand entirely on social media, choosing Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok over cable television reflects the growing shift toward digital-first platforms.
Industry watchers noted that Peller’s choice highlights how modern audiences increasingly prefer interactive streaming experiences over traditional broadcast formats.

Why a creator would desire streaming over traditional media
In a brief chat with Emmanuel Alaba, a media expert, he weighed in on the significance of a creator believing that streaming directly to fans is more valuable than appearing on a major TV platform.
"The major significance of direct streaming is the total freedom every creator enjoys. When creators stream directly, it brings better connections with fans; creators believe streaming directly gives them more control and better earnings. Direct streaming is becoming just as important as traditional exposure. The option that allows creators to reach and engage their audience on their own terms will never be rejected."
Netizens react to Peller's DSTV claims
Reactions poured in from across social media as fans weighed in on everything from Peller's communication style to the broader significance of his choice:

"This guy Na portable junior. Cho cho cho everyday. You think say marriage na beans. Ki Olohun ma jeki o fi enu e tu ile ka"
@MrEazi105419 noted:
"DSTV didn't stream the International STEM Olympiad Grand Finale held in Rome, Italy. But is begging Peller to stream his wedding. That's the kind of rubbish they like to cover."
@bolajiayo observed:
"Peller telling DStv 'sorry o, my wedding is for Twitch, YouTube & TikTok only' is the biggest 'I no dey do traditional media again' flex of 2026. Digital kids really took the whole table."
@acefestus cautioned:
"I think he should not have talked about DSTV approaching him in public. Other companies would be careful to approach him as he would vomit everything online"
