More Drama as Peller Visits His Former Carpentry Workshop after backlash: "I See Damage Control"

• Peller journeys back to the Ikorodu furniture workshop where he mastered carpentry skills before his rise to fame
• He shares heartfelt moments with his former boss and colleagues, reflecting on the days that shaped his hustle
• The viral video captures fans’ hearts, igniting waves of nostalgia and pride across Nigerian social media

Habeeb Hamzat, the TikTok sensation Nigerians know as Peller, has tugged at the nation’s heartstrings with a poignant return to the carpentry workshop in Ikorodu where he once laboured before fame came knocking.

The Instagram Reel, dropped on March 26, 2025, shows the Lagos-born star stepping into the dusty, tool-strewn space that marked his early grind.

Dressed in his laid-back style, Peller trades laughs and stories with his former boss and the workshop crew.

The video shows where he learnt the ropes of furniture-making, a skill he wielded before TikTok turned him into a household name. The workshop, alive with the clatter of hammers and the scent of sawdust, feels like a time capsule of Peller’s pre-fame life.
