A former Member of the House of Representatives of Nigeria, Shina Peller, has clarified that popular Tiktoker Peller is not a member of the "Peller" family.

According to Shina Peller, he stated that he has heard about Tiktoker Peller, and many people have asked if he was a member of his family.

Shina Peller clarified the Peller comparison during a recent interview with Channels TV. He said:

“I have heard about the TikTok star Peller and a lot of people have asked me whether he’s a member of our family.

"Truly, Professor Peller’s family is quite extended, but he is not a member of the family.

“The name ‘Peller’ was given to our father as a magician and it’s a name that the family has adopted since the time of my father.

“So, Peller, the comedian is not a member of the Peller family. It’s a successful name. He’s just being smart. He’s being able to pop with the name. You can’t blame him but I can tell you categorically that he’s not a member of the Peller family."
