Peller said that despite not being 20 yet, he is facing a lot of things he should not be experiencing at this time in his life. He said:
“I don’t like what I’m facing at this young age, I’m not yet even up to 20 and I’m already facing all these. It’s not good. Even if I’m stubborn, I shouldn’t be facing all these things at this time.”
I don’t like seeing my family – Peller
During the live show, Benede asked Peller when he last saw his family and suggested he spend time with them. The TikTok star kicked against it, stating that he doesn’t like to visit his family.
According to Peller, he prefers to send his family things and make sure they are doing fine. He also added that it is now as if he is the mother and father in the family, despite not being the eldest child. The livestreamer said he doesn’t get any rest and has even considered running away and leaving everything behind.

In his words:
“I don’t even like seeing my family, I prefer to send them things and make sure they are okay, I don’t like seeing them again because my thinking now has passed the way they think. It’s now as if I have become their mother and father. I am not the eldest, I have an elder brother. Na the person wey God bless later turn to their parent, I no dey rest. If not that they would be looking for me, I go just run comot go America dey stay for one place there and go offline. I’ve been wanting to do it since but I haven’t done it because they would be worried.”
It’s like I gave birth to my parents – Peller
While lamenting, Peller insisted that he doesn’t miss his family members and that if he runs away, the only person he would miss is his girlfriend, Jarvis. He said:
“I swear with my life, I don’t miss my mother or my father, I don’t miss anybody. Before ehn, if my mummy travels and drops me with someone for her to return the next week, I would be crying, but now I don’t miss anybody. The only person I can miss is Jarvis, I swear to Almighty God. I call my family and I talk to them but I don’t usually miss them. I used to miss my family very well before but now ehn… because my thinking, everything don pass. E come be like say na me born them. The fame thing come be like say na…”

“He just doesn’t know how to put his words together in order not to get into trouble when trying to say something. He’s NOT saying he doesn’t love his family or don’t want to see them bcus of the level of his thinking, he’s just overwhelmed with responsibilities and whenever he goes to see them he would definitely meet another responsibility and this really have made it tiring to go there. He now prefers to love and care for them from afar.”
