Peller: Africa’s Streaming King in the Making-In just two short years, Habeeb “Peller” Hamzat has gone from an unknown teenager in Ikorodu to Africa’s most-watched live streamer, shattering records and redefining what’s possible for digital creators on the continent. With a record-breaking 76,000 concurrent viewers (surpassing even his own viral Olamide collab stream), a TRACE Award win, and a rapidly growing empire of hilarious content, Peller isn’t just rising—he’s revolutionizing African digital entertainment.
But behind the viral clips and screaming fan reactions lies a fascinating story of hustle, comedic genius, and an unshakable drive to dominate the streaming world. How did this 19-year-old from Lagos build an empire? Why are global stars like Dax and Olamide jumping on his streams? And what’s the truth about his rumored relationship with fellow creator Jadrolita (Jarvis)?
Let’s dive deep into the phenomenon that is Peller—Africa’s fastest-rising streaming superstar.
From Ikorodu Classrooms to Internet Stardom: Peller’s Origin Story
Born May 10, 2005, in Ikorodu, Lagos, Peller’s early life was far from glamorous. He attended Providence Primary School and later Frontrunner Academy, where he was just another student with big dreams. But in 2021, everything changed.
Inspired by Kai Cenat, Fanum, IShowSpeed, and Duke, Peller began experimenting with live streaming. His early attempts? A struggle. Low views, technical issues, and the brutal reality of starting from zero. But Peller had something most don’t—relentless persistence.
By 2023, his sarcastic, deadpan humor and unfiltered reactions started catching fire. Unlike hyperactive streamers, Peller’s “reluctant entertainer” vibe made him stand out. Fans loved his “I don’t care, but I’m here” energy, and soon, his streams exploded.
Breaking Records: How Peller Became Africa’s #1 Streamer
Peller’s rise wasn’t just organic—it was historic.
- First Viral Breakthrough: His collaboration with Olamide drew 60,000 live viewers, a then-record for an African streamer.
- Record Smashed: Months later, he obliterated his own record with 76,000 concurrent viewers, cementing his status as Africa’s streaming king.
- Global Co-Signs: When Canadian-Nigerian rapper Dax joined his stream, it sent shockwaves through the industry. Even Olamide publicly endorsed him, shouting him out in multiple sessions.
But the biggest validation came in July 2024, when Peller took home the “Best Content Creator” award at the TRACE Awards & Festival—a massive milestone for any digital talent.

But the real secret? His collabs with Jadrolita (Jarvis), the AI-themed TikTok star. Their chemistry was so electric that fans assumed they were dating—though both have kept details private.

Speaking of Jarvis, the internet went wild when Peller and the AI-obsessed TikToker started frequently appearing together. Their playful banters, joint streams, and viral skits had fans convinced they were a couple.
However, Peller has never officially confirmed a relationship, and Jarvis has hinted they’re just close friends and collaborators. Either way, their content together is pure gold, proving that chemistry doesn’t always mean romance.
