Popular TikToker Peller speaks on being snubbed by Burna Boy’s mother at event

Nigerian TikToker Peller, has finally addressed the viral clip showing him being snubbed by Bose Ogulu, the mother of Afrobeats singer Burna Boy.

The incident, which took place at a recent event, has stirred mixed reactions online, with many questioning the reasons behind her actions.

The controversy began when a video surfaced showing Peller extending his hand for a handshake, only for Burna Boy’s mother to ignore him while acknowledging other guests.

The moment quickly drew attention, with some netizens criticizing Peller for seeking unnecessary validation, while others accused Ogulu of favoritism and being proud.

In response to the growing discussions, Peller took to a TikTok live session to clarify the situation. He revealed that the encounter happened at Timini Egbuson’s movie premiere.

“I don’t shake my mama, even, I don’t greet my mama because she’s always there for me,” he stated, implying that such gestures are not a big deal to him.

While some social media users sympathized with Peller, others argued that the snub was intentional and possibly a sign of disrespect.
