Fast rising Nigerian TikToker, Peller has reportedly drawn the attention of the FBI following the revelation of his past involvement in Yahoo-Yahoo a.k.a internet scamming.
Controversial investigative journalist, Kemi Olunloyo made this development known in an audio via her social media pages, claiming that a source within the FBI informed her of Peller’s alleged involvement in cybercrime.
According to Olunloyo, Peller previously admitted in a TikTok session to having engaged in “yahoo-yahoo” (internet fraud) before gaining fame and transitioning to legitimate earnings as a content creator.
Olunloyo further advised the 19-year-old social media star to exercise caution regarding his future statements, warning that his past confessions could lead to serious legal consequences.
She compared his situation to that of Hushpuppi, the influencer currently serving a sentence in the U.S. for cybercrime-related offences.
“If you know Peller, pls tell him to SFTU. He is about to single-handedly ruin his own future,” Olunloyo cautioned, noting the increasing scrutiny on influencers suspected of online fraud.
Kemi’s claim has however sparked a wave of reactions from social media users who disregarded it as a typical ‘cock and bull story from the journalist’ while others emphasized the catastrophic potential of the claim.
