Popular TikTok creator Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, has hinted that he may not return to school, just days after celebrating his admission to study law at a private university in Lagos State.
Peller made the disclosure in a voice note shared on his channel on Tuesday, where he complained that attending school was affecting his ability to make money.
“Guys, I swear to God, I remember I said I am going to school… I am not going again. I am not going again,” he said.
The content creator explained that spending hours in class without earning income made the experience unacceptable to him.
“I just remember, I was inside class for four hours. I didn’t make any money. I will write, I will look, I will play, not making anything. God forbid. I am not doing that one again,” he said.
Peller also claimed he felt out of place among other students, describing himself as the youngest person in the class.
“When I enter the school, I notice that everyone is old, I am the only young blood there,” he added.
He further stated that he would consider returning to school later in life.
“So I need to go old. Maybe when I clock like 30, 40 years, I will now go to school. Please cancel everything. I am tired,” he said.
The development marks a sharp reversal from Peller’s recent public celebration of his admission into a law programme.
Recall that the TikTok sensation had, in a video that went viral on Saturday, announced that he had secured admission to study law at a private university in Lagos State, although he declined to disclose the name of the institution.
In the video, Peller expressed excitement over the admission and appeared to respond to critics who had mocked his educational background.
“Everyone has been criticising me for not being educated, as if I’m the first person who didn’t attend university. Now, all of you should leave social media, because I’m in school,” he said.
“I’m now studying law. You can see it, right? You can’t mess with me anymore. I know the law,” he added.
Recall that the content creator has faced sustained criticism online over his grammar and educational background, with some users describing him as “uneducated.”
Earlier this month, Peller had disclosed plans to further his education, noting that the decision was partly aimed at improving his spoken English.
He has also been in the public eye following a controversy surrounding the visit of American streamer IShowSpeed to Nigeria.
