Nigerian skit maker and comedian, Nasty Blaq, stirred up serious drama online after clashing with controversial TikTok sensation Peller during a recent livestream, and it all centred around one loaded subject: education.
What started as a casual online session quickly turned intense when Nasty Blaq, known for blending humour with life advice highlighted the need for traditional education.
He told Peller bluntly: “School is not a scam. You should go back to school”.
His comment, while seemingly well-meaning, clearly struck a nerve.
Peller, visibly irritated and defensive, didn’t take the remark lightly.
Also, he immediately snapped back, accusing Nasty Blaq of throwing shade rather than offering genuine encouragement.
Not Everything Is Content
The tension escalated on the livestream, with fans flooding the comments and reposts flying across TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter).
While some praised Nasty Blaq for “speaking facts” and encouraging young influencers to value education, others felt the timing and tone of his advice came off as condescending.
One user commented: “Nasty Blaq is right, but that wasn’t the platform to make such a call-out”.
Another countered: “Peller needs to hear the truth. Not everything is content”.
The clash has since ignited broader conversations on Nigerian social media about the value of formal education in today’s digital economy.
This is especially for influencers and content creators who’ve built careers without traditional degrees.
