Nigerian content creator Peller has opened up about the celebrity endorsement that fundamentally altered the course of his career, pointing directly to rapper Olamide Adedeji, known widely as Baddo, as the man who gave him his first real shot.
During a livestream with Pastor Tobi on September 6, 2026, Peller, whose real name is Habeeb Hamzat Adelaja, described how Olamide's decision to engage with his content triggered a wave of attention he had never experienced before.

That single moment of support, he said, brought in his first 100,000 livestream views and caused people who had previously blocked him to reach back out.
How Olamide's cosign shifted everything
Before that breakthrough, Peller was grinding for visibility in Nigeria's crowded content creation space, known for his sarcastic delivery and distinctive livestream style on TikTok.
Olamide's endorsement arrived at a moment when recognition was still out of reach, and according to Peller, it changed public perception almost overnight.
The YBNL boss did not stop at a single shoutout. He later appeared on Peller's streams, offered gifts, and continued to publicly back the creator, building on the foundation that initial cosign had laid.
Other figures, including Canadian-Nigerian rapper Dax, also featured on Peller's lives and contributed to his early momentum, but Peller has consistently singled out Olamide as the first major celebrity whose intervention unlocked broader attention.
That platform helped him rise to become one of Africa's top streamers, earning awards recognition and collaborations with other high-profile artists.
