“He Said He’d Ignore Speed” – OGB Recent Reveals Why IShowSpeed Snubbed Peller in Lagos

The chaotic attempt by Nigerian content creator Peller to meet American streamer IShowSpeed during his Lagos visit continues to generate discussion, with popular comedian and skit maker OGB Recent now offering new details on what may have led to the repeated snubs.

In a candid account, OGB Recent explained that Peller’s earlier statements about the streamer and his conduct during the planned meeting likely influenced Speed’s response.

The Backstory: A Past Video

According to OGB Recent, Peller had previously made a video stating he would ignore IShowSpeed if he ever came to Nigeria. This comment reportedly circulated online before Speed’s arrival and may have set an awkward precedent.

The Hotel Incident

OGB Recent narrated that he accompanied Peller to the streamer’s hotel, where he politely approached security to request a photo opportunity for his “younger brother”—who was actually Peller in disguise.

“When IShowSpeed came, I begged him that my younger brother wants to take a picture with him. Immediately Peller, who was posing as my younger brother, came in, Baba no gree again,” OGB Recent recounted.

He added that security personnel mentioned that another individual—whom they identified as Peller—had earlier approached them with an entitled attitude, contrasting with OGB Recent’s polite manner.

“They told me, ‘Can you see how respectfully you were talking to us? There was a guy saying that he is this, he is that.’ As they said Peller, I say Jesus. That was before they bounced Peller the second time.”

Public Reaction and Lessons

The revelation has shifted some public sympathy, with many online users now suggesting that Peller’s earlier remarks and approach may have contributed to the awkward interaction. The incident has sparked broader conversations about professionalism, respect, and how local creators engage with international visitors.

While Peller’s eagerness to collaborate was clear, OGB Recent’s account highlights how past behavior and on-ground demeanor can influence high-profile opportunities.
