Popular content creator, VeryDarkMan (VDM) has urged critics of TikToker, Peller to leave him alone.
VDM stated this in an X post following criticism directed at Peller for condemning the viral #30daysrantchallenge.
Taking to the platform, Peller said, “If you want to really rant, go to Instagram, go to the market, don’t rant here on TikTok. If they ban TikTok, that’s where we will have issue.”
“Let’s protest. Let’s go outside. Let’s leave TikTok. Online something is just mumu mumu,” he added.
However, many netizens claimed his stance was dismissive of the harsh economic realities Nigerians face, which birthed the challenge.
However, VDM said Peller should not be the target of vitriol for simply expressing an opinion.
“You all want freedom but don’t want people to express themselves freely. Leave Peller alone! He’s not your politician,” he stated.
Human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju in a post on his Facebook page on Tuesday, described Peller as a ‘boy’ and said the Tiktoker has no right to tell Nigerians how to express their frustration.
“Who’s this boy saying people should not rant on TikTok? Is TikTok your father’s house? Shouldn’t you be in school instead of on TikTok? Are you not too young to be doing TikTok? You have no right whatsoever to tell Nigerians how to express their frustration!”.
