When 20-year-old Habeeb Hamzat, better known as Peller, dropped a 97-second story on live stream yesterday, the internet stopped scrolling.
Three years ago, fresh out of secondary school, his classmates created a WhatsApp group, set a dress code, and conveniently forgot to add him. He showed up looking “different,” got iced out, and left with the kind of memory that stings forever.
Fast-forward to 2025. Same classmates suddenly remember the kid they sidelined, now a TikTok millionaire living in South Africa with Davido on speed dial. They slide into his DMs talking about a “pop-up reunion.”
Peller, never one to miss a plot twist, replied: “Let’s do it in South Africa.” Crickets. Total radio silence ever since.
“Are they mad?” he asked the camera, half-laughing, half-petty, fully aware the flights from Lagos to Joburg aren’t exactly ₦20k.
The clip exploded within hours, racking up millions of views as Nigerians screamed “glow-up revenge” in the comments. Some called it petty perfection; others said he should have just ignored them.
One alleged former classmate even joked online about “visa fees swallowing salary,” before quickly deleting the tweet.
From the boy they left out of the group chat to the man who can make an entire class rethink their budget, Peller’s story is the ultimate reminder that success can be the sweetest shade.
And somewhere in a Lagos WhatsApp group right now, someone is definitely regretting that dress-code memo they never sent.
