Popular TikTok influencer Peller has experienced a noticeable drop in followers on both TikTok and Instagram after his comments on the viral 30-day rant challenge sparked backlash. In a video that quickly went viral, Peller criticized Nigerians participating in the challenge, warning that such protests could lead to the government banning TikTok in Nigeria. His remarks did not sit well with many social media users, who felt he was attempting to silence a movement that allows Nigerians to voice their frustrations over pressing issues. Peller, known for his engaging live sessions and outspoken personality, argued that those with grievances should take their frustrations to Instagram or public spaces rather than using TikTok, a platform he believes the government might target if it becomes a tool for mass protests.
Following his statement, many of his supporters began unfollowing him, accusing him of being out of touch with the struggles of everyday Nigerians. Some users called him out for trying to police how people express themselves, especially on a platform that thrives on freedom of speech and creative expression. Others defended him, stating that his concerns about a potential ban were valid and that people should consider alternative ways to protest. However, the damage had already been done, as the drop in his follower count signaled a shift in public perception.
The debate surrounding the 30-day rant challenge continues to dominate online conversations, with more Nigerians joining in to share their frustrations over governance, economic hardship, and societal issues. The controversy surrounding Peller’s remarks serves as a reminder of the power of social media activism and how influencers must tread carefully when addressing sensitive topics. Whether his follower count will bounce back or continue to decline remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – social media users are making it clear that they will not be silenced.
