Nigerian TikTok star Peller is reportedly being monitored by the FBI due to alleged past involvement in internet fraud, commonly known as “Yahoo-Yahoo.”
The claims came to light through controversial journalist Kemi Olunloyo, who stated on social media that an FBI source had informed her of Peller’s suspected connection to cybercrime.
Olunloyo revealed in an audio post that Peller once openly admitted during a TikTok live session to engaging in internet fraud before gaining fame and transitioning to a legitimate career in content creation.
She warned that these past confessions could lead to serious legal implications for the young influencer, likening his situation to that of Hushpuppi a popular Nigerian influencer currently serving a prison sentence in the United States for cybercrime.
“If you know Peller, please tell him to SFTU. He is about to single-handedly ruin his own future,” Olunloyo cautioned, suggesting that his admissions could attract further scrutiny from law enforcement.
The revelations have triggered a wave of responses on social media, with some viewers brushing off Olunloyo’s claims as sensationalism, while others raised concerns about the potential consequences if her information proves accurate.
