According to him, he decided to leave school while studying at the University of Lagos, adding that he likely would not have become a singer if he had completed his degree.
“I dey like 200 level, carryover wan carry me. It reached a point where I was no longer comfortable in school because the attention was getting too much. If I had finished from Unilag, I for don go do another thing.”
Peller reacts to Ycee’s comments
Recall that content creator Peller had reacted strongly to Ycee’s remarks after the singer mentioned his name during the interview. He expressed his displeasure on Instagram Stories, criticising the rapper and urging him to be more respectful.
Peller also took issue with other celebrities who reshared the interview clip on social media.
Jarvis defends content creators
TikToker and AI personality Jarvis also weighed in, defending Peller and other content creators. In a video shared online, she argued that many educated young Nigerians who are active in digital content creation did not choose the space due to a lack of intelligence, but because economic conditions in the country have limited traditional opportunities.
Sharing more in a video, Jarvis rejected the suggestion made by Ycee that content creation is a refuge for uneducated people.
