Popular Nigerian content creator and entertainer Peller has spoken about a troubling personal ordeal, alleging that his rise to prominence has created friction within his family, with some relatives allegedly issuing threats against him.
In a viral video shared online, the entertainer said the strain began after he achieved recognition in the entertainment industry, claiming that certain family members have since held him accountable for obligations he never accepted.
Although he has provided financial support to some of his siblings, he said he feels unfairly singled out.
“My family wants to kill me with calls. Ever since I made it, they’ve been disturbing me. I’m the one paying my half-siblings’ school fees.
“What’s my business with them? We’re not even that close. It’s my father who had them, not my mom,” he said.
Peller explained that while he has assisted some relatives with educational expenses, he does not consider himself responsible for issues concerning his father’s other children.
The revelation has sparked widespread reaction online, with many fans expressing sympathy and noting that public figures often face mounting pressure from extended family members.
One social media user wrote, “Being famous doesn’t mean you owe everyone in the family. Stay safe, Peller.” Another commented, “The struggle is real. Fame comes with family problems we can’t imagine.”
