Reactions trail Peller’s remark calling Runtown an ‘upcoming artist’

Popular TikTok influencer, Peller, has stirred controversy online after referring to renowned Nigerian singer Runtown as an “upcoming artist.”

During a recent live session, a guest suggested that Peller invite Runtown to his TikTok stream. However, the influencer dismissed the idea, questioning who Runtown was and claiming not to know him.

Peller went further to state that the “Mad Over You” crooner had not “blown enough” to be considered a major artist, insisting that he only wanted established stars on his platform.

“Wetin be Runtown? That one never blow, we no know am. Give me another person. No bring upcoming artist, na artist wey don blow well well,” Peller said.

His comments quickly sparked mixed reactions online, with many social media users criticizing him for downplaying Runtown’s achievements in the music industry.
