A dramatic encounter unfolded when United Kingdom police officers arrived at the apartment of popular Nigerian content creator Habeeb Hamzat, known professionally as Peller, following noise complaints from neighbours.
The incident, which occurred in real-time during one of his live streaming sessions, was captured on video and has since gone viral across social media platforms.
The 20-year-old TikTok sensation, who is currently in the UK for a show and scheduled to return to Nigeria on November 24, 2025, was mid-session when two officers—one male and one female—knocked on his door. The officers informed Peller that residents in the building had reported excessive noise emanating from his flat, prompting their visit.
In the now-trending footage, Peller can be seen responding calmly to the unexpected interruption. He attempted to explain to the officers that the noise they were investigating was simply the result of his content creation work—the natural energy and enthusiasm that comes with engaging thousands of live viewers. However, despite his explanation that he was only livestreaming, the officers insisted on checking the rooms to ensure he wasn’t having a shouting match with anyone.
The police proceeded to conduct a brief search of the apartment, scanning the premises to confirm that Peller was alone and that no actual disturbance or altercation was taking place. When asked whether the apartment belonged to him, Peller explained that it belonged to his manager, who was presently out.
What caught the attention of many Nigerian viewers watching the incident unfold was not just the police visit itself, but Peller’s fluent, polished English as he switched effortlessly to communicate with the officers in a British-style accent—a stark contrast to the persona he typically displays in his content.
The incident has sparked widespread discussion online about the challenges content creators face when working in residential areas, particularly in countries with strict noise ordinances. Some social media users have criticized Peller’s loud approach to content creation, while others have used the incident as an opportunity to educate fellow Nigerians about UK housing regulations and tenants’ rights when dealing with law enforcement.
The video continues to circulate widely across Twitter, Instagram, and other platforms, serving as an unexpected reminder that the demands of digital content creation can sometimes clash with the realities of residential living—regardless of which side of the Atlantic one finds themselves.
