No rest since I ‘blow’ on TikTok; planned running away from my family: 19-year-old Peller

“It now feels like I am their father and mother. I have an elder brother. I have become their parent because God blessed me. I do not rest,” said Peller.

Habeeb ‘Peller‘ Hamzat, a popular 19-year-old TikToker, says he does not want to see his family again.

The youngster suggested the need to be his own man by having his personal space away from his family members.

Peller also hinted at the anguish of finding no rest and the determination to move away from his family.

“I do call my mum on video. I still called her on video yesterday,” Peller said. “I do not even like to see my family again. I just want to send them things and make sure that they are also okay,” said Peller in a now-trending live session with Sandra Benede. “Because my mentality has now surpassed staying with my parents. My thinking has surpassed theirs.” 

Peller added, “It now feels like I am their father and mother. I have an elder brother. I have become their parent because God blessed me. I do not rest.”

The TikToker felt he was having too much to deal with as a teenager.

“I have not been okay for a while. There was a day I slept off in my car through the night. It is not good,” Peller lamented. “I dislike what I am facing at this young age. I am not even 20 years old. Yet, I am experiencing these things.”

In the video, Peller contemplated running away from his family to the United States to find solace in the arms of his girlfriend, Jadrolita.

“If not that they would start looking for me, I would have run to America and go hide myself somewhere.

“I have been trying to do it. But they will be worried about me.

“I no longer miss my parents. The only person I miss now is Jarvis,” Peller admitted.

The TikToker has been a rave of the moment in Nigeria and in the diaspora. He recently castigated Nigerians over what he felt might make him lose his stardom and cash flow on the internet drawing the ire of netizens.
