Peller Responds To Ycee’s ‘Olodo’ Comment, Fires Back At Rapper

Nigerian content creator, Peller has lashed out at rapper Ycee after the musician criticised what he described as the growing “Peller culture” on social media, accusing the rapper of dragging his name into a larger conversation on falling standards.

The war of words started after Ycee on Afropolitan podcast condemned the type of content currently dominating Nigeria’s digital space. The rapper argued that intelligence and academic excellence were gradually losing relevance, citing Peller as an example while lamenting what he termed “Peller culture”.

Ycee questioned the educational value of such content but maintained that the country’s entertainment scene was increasingly favouring sensationalism over substance.
Peller, however, did not like the remarks. The TikTok star in a video shared on his social media pages called Ycee a “very anyhow OG” and accused the rapper of looking for attention by mentioning his name.

Same olodo uprising una dey use promote una noise, very anyhow OG If you’re an old person, respect yourself. Do you have to say who? You are an illiterate yourself. You are an old man with sense, you should be able to make your point without saying anybody’s name.”

Since then, the exchange has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with users divided over Ycee’s critique of online content culture, and Peller’s fiery reply. Some supported the rapper’s concerns about the direction of digital entertainment and others said Peller should not be singled out for creating content embraced by millions of Nigerians.
