Popular financial commentator and social media personality GehGeh has called on streamer and content creator Peller to apologise to Nigerian rapper Ycee following their recent online clash.
The controversy began after Ycee criticised what he described as the “Peller culture” in Nigeria, lamenting that society no longer celebrates academic excellence and that many young people now believe they can attain success by creating “dumb things” online because such content attracts views, engagement and money.
Reacting to the rapper’s comments, Peller dismissed Ycee’s remarks and questioned why musicians criticise content creators despite relying on them for publicity.
“Some OGs don’t deserve respect. This kind Ycee man, now see wetin elderly man dey talk. You people bring music promotion to the so-called olodo, na the same people una dey promote and beg with small money,” Peller wrote.
He further argued that online creators have become a major part of the entertainment industry and play a significant role in helping musicians promote their songs and expand their reach.
“Na online una sabi give money. When una wan promote music, na still these same people una dey run come meet,” he added.
However, GehGeh disagreed with Peller’s response and advised the content creator to apologise to Ycee, saying the exchange had exposed his shortcomings.
Addressing Peller, GehGeh said: “Peller, I want you to go apologise to Ycee. You brought this public disgrace to yourself. You’ve made money, all you need right now isn’t marriage or love. You need education for you to go places as a streamer.”
