Popular TikTok creator Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, has hinted that he may not continue his studies at a private university in Lagos State, just days after celebrating his admission to study law.

In a voice note shared on his channel on Tuesday, Peller expressed frustration over how attending school affects his ability to earn income.
“Guys, I swear to God, I remember I said I am going to school… I am not going again. I am not going again,” he said.

The content creator explained that spending hours in class without generating money made the experience unacceptable to him. “I just remember, I was inside class for four hours. I didn’t make any money. I will write, I will look, I will play, not making anything. God forbid. I am not doing that one again,” he added.

Peller also described feeling out of place among his peers, noting that he appeared to be the youngest person in the class. He suggested that he may consider returning to school later in life, joking, “Maybe when I clock like 30, 40 years, I will now go to school. Please cancel everything. I am tired.”

This development is a sharp reversal from Peller’s recent viral celebration of his law school admission. In a video shared last Saturday, he announced his acceptance into the program and appeared to respond to critics who had mocked his educational background, saying, “Everyone has been criticising me for not being educated… Now, all of you should leave social media, because I’m in school.”

The TikTok star has faced sustained scrutiny online over his grammar and perceived lack of formal education, making his pursuit of higher learning a highly publicized personal milestone. Earlier this month, Peller had stated that one of his motivations for studying law was to improve his spoken English.

Opinion: Balancing Fame, Finance, and Education

Peller’s candid reflection underscores a challenge many young creators face: balancing formal education with the financial demands of a fast-moving digital career. For social media stars whose income is tied directly to content creation, time spent in classrooms can feel like lost opportunity.

Yet, education—especially in fields like law—provides long-term benefits that may not be immediately visible in monetary terms. Peller’s struggle highlights a tension between instant gratification and long-term growth, a dilemma familiar to many in both the entertainment and entrepreneurial worlds.

While his decision to pause schooling may be understandable, it also serves as a reminder of the value of persistence and planning. Perhaps with flexible study options or online courses, Peller could continue his academic journey without sacrificing the momentum of his career.

Ultimately, his story resonates with many young Nigerians navigating career, income, and education. Peller’s honesty makes it relatable, even as fans hope he finds a way to strike a balance that supports both his ambitions and his personal growth.
