TikTok stars Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, and Jarvis, commonly referred to as Jadrolita, have expressed their displeasure at the growing calls for them to be cancelled and unfollowed on social media over their response to the trending 30 Days Rant challenge on TikTok.
In a viral live TikTok video, Peller questioned Nigerians criticism on the platform, urging them to channel their frustration elsewhere and not towards the platform.
Peller in the viral video said, “Don’t rant on TikTok. Don’t rant here oh. You are wicked. You want to ruin our source of livelihood… If you want to rant, go to the market. Leave TikTok alone.”
Peller's partner, Jarvis, was also reported to have bragged about how they could afford anything regardless of the current economic hardship.
Their comment upset many Nigerians, especially social media users on X, with some calling for action against Peller.
Below is a tweet by a user on X advising Nigerians not to cancel Peller:
