Popular TikToker, Peller has publicly apologised for referring to Nigerian Afrobeats star, Runtown as an “up-and-coming artist.”
Recall that during a recent livestream, Peller rejected a co-streamer’s suggestion of featuring Runtown in his livestream, insinuating that he was unknown and unsuccessful.
His myopic view on the Afrobeats maestro earned him heavy backlash across social media.
He has now bowed to pressure and tendered a public apology, admitting that he knew who the singer was.
He explained that he was “too young” to use a phone when the singer’s songs were topping charts.
Speaking in during a livestream with Elizabeth Amoudu, Peller said, “When I was hearing Runtown’s music that time, I was too young to even use a phone.
“Peller never come town when Runtown dey Runtown. Please, forgive the poor boy. Let him breathe. God won’t shame us. I’m sorry, my brothers and sisters.”
