Peller Mocked Online for Spelling 'Economy' as 'Airconomi' on Carter Efe’s Live Show

TikTok influencer Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has found himself at the center of online mockery after a clip from a recent livestream went viral. During a live session hosted by popular comedian and singer Carter Efe, Peller was asked to spell the word “economy.” To the shock and amusement of viewers, he confidently responded with “Airconomi.”

The moment quickly went viral across social media platforms, with thousands of users reposting the clip and leaving humorous, sarcastic, and at times scathing remarks. Many viewers couldn’t believe what they had heard, especially given Peller’s rising profile on social media and his past statements about education and employment.

What made the incident even more ironic for fans was the fact that Peller had recently announced a job opening for a cameraman, offering a ₦500,000 monthly salary. According to him, only applicants with at least a Master’s degree were being considered. For someone demanding such high academic qualifications, many netizens questioned how he could make such a basic spelling error.

While some of his supporters came to his defense, chalking it up to nerves or a simple slip of the tongue, the majority of online reactions were brutal. Jokes flew across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, with users dubbing him the “Minister of Airconomi” and asking whether the “air” in the economy was due to inflation.

Peller himself has yet to publicly respond to the backlash, but fans are still sharing the viral moment and tagging him across platforms. Carter Efe, who hosted the stream, couldn’t help laughing during the session and has also not commented on the viral buzz, although many suspect the clip was left online intentionally for its viral potential.

This moment has once again highlighted the intense scrutiny faced by social media personalities, where even minor mistakes can quickly spiral into full-blown trending topics. For now, Peller remains in the spotlight, not for a new skit or viral dance, but for a spelling error that may go down as one of the most unforgettable moments of 2025 internet culture.
