Popular Nigerian content creator Peller has vowed not to give up on securing a collaboration with global internet sensation iShowSpeed, revealing plans to travel to Ivory Coast as part of the streamer’s ongoing Africa tour.
Peller disclosed this after narrating how an earlier attempt to meet iShowSpeed failed despite insider access to the streamer’s location. According to him, nightlife entrepreneur Obi Cubana personally reached out and shared the hotel where iShowSpeed was staying.
“Obi Cubana was the one who texted me and shared the location of iShowSpeed’s hotel yesterday afternoon. My manager and OGB were allowed to take pictures with him,” Peller said.
However, the situation reportedly changed when his name was mentioned.
“When OGB mentioned my name, Speed’s bouncer immediately turned him away. My name was blacklisted, and I couldn’t meet Speed,” he added.
Despite the setback, Peller insists the story is far from over. He announced plans to head to Ivory Coast, where iShowSpeed is expected to make another stop on his African tour, in a renewed attempt to finally link up with the YouTuber.
The revelation has sparked mixed reactions online, with many social media users finding the situation both hilarious and dramatic. While some praised Peller’s persistence and determination, others joked about the alleged “blacklisting,” turning the incident into memes and viral commentary.
Comments ranged from “Peller is too stubborn to quit, he’ll meet Speed by force” to “How do you blacklist someone you’ve never met?” Others encouraged him to keep pushing, noting that iShowSpeed’s Africa tour has been filled with unexpected encounters and viral moments.
As iShowSpeed’s African tour continues to dominate conversations online, all eyes are now on whether Peller’s Ivory Coast mission will finally result in the long-awaited collaboration—or add another chapter to the growing online saga.
