Nigerian content creator Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has set a new record for the biggest African live stream on TikTok, attracting 260,000 viewers.
This achievement highlights the growing influence of African digital creators in the global streaming space.
Despite losing the TikTok live battle, Peller received 4.1 million TikTok coins from his loyal fans, proving his strong engagement and popularity.
Peller faced off against South African TikToker, TikTok King, known by the handle kingg_of_tiktokk, in a highly competitive live showdown. Although he did not win, his record-breaking numbers have made him a trending topic online.
Peller’s success comes just days after he faced criticism for not participating in the viral 30-Day Rant Challenge.
Many social media users had called him out for staying away from the trend. In response, he took steps to reconnect with his audience by giving back to his community and visiting his former school to distribute items.
Despite the earlier backlash, his latest milestone has excited fans, with many celebrating his success and taunting his critics.
One supporter commented, “They thought he was finished, but he came back stronger. Peller remains the biggest in Africa!”
Another wrote, “This is proof that hard work pays off. More wins, Peller!”
This is not the first time Peller has drawn massive attention on TikTok. A few months ago, he had a live stream with Nigerian music star Davido, which peaked at 389,800 viewers.
His latest record has sparked discussions about the rising power of African content creators in the social media industry and the potential for more earnings through live streaming.
Many believe that creators like Peller are paving the way for more African influencers to succeed on global platforms.
