|By Queen Banigo

Popular TikToker and content creator, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has alleged that fellow content creator Carterefe encouraged him to start smoking to boost his energy during livestream sessions.

Peller made the claim during a recent livestream, where he openly discussed a private conversation he said he had with Carterefe. According to him, Carterefe suggested that smoking could help him appear more energetic and lively while engaging his online audience.

“Carterefe told me to start smoking so that I can get high energy. He told me he and his crew smoke before going on livestreams,” Peller stated during the broadcast.

The revelation quickly stirred reactions among his followers, many of whom tuned in live. Rather than accept the advice outright, Peller turned to his fanbase for guidance, asking whether he should consider the suggestion.

His fans responded swiftly and overwhelmingly cautioned him against it. Several warned about the addictive nature of smoking and its well-documented health risks, urging him to protect both his wellbeing and his public image as an influencer with a large youth following.

The exchange has since sparked conversations online about the pressures content creators face to remain energetic and constantly entertaining during live sessions, as well as the potential influence they wield over impressionable audiences.

As of the time of filing this report, Carterefe has not publicly responded to Peller’s claims.
