TikTok sensation Habeeb Hamzat, aka Peller, was specially recognised at this year’s TrendUpp Awards in Lagos.
Peller bagged a significant award at the TrendUpp Awards 2024. He was the winner of the “Emerging Force” category.
The Trendupp Awards is renowned for recognizing influencers, content creators, and brands excelling in leveraging social media across various fields and platforms.
Peller could not contain his delight, as a clip showed the moment an excited Peller took off his shoes as he moved to the stage to receive his award.
However, his acceptance speech, in which he expressed his gratitude to his supporters, stirred confusion. Peller spoke the same way he speaks in his content, using poor English grammar.
Peller thanked his colleague Jarvis and his close friend Jo Blaq for their role in his success. “I no believe I go collect this type of award at this type of age, God do am for me, I no dey do tribalism,” he said in part.
Watch him speak here.
Netizens React:
