A recent public altercation involving popular Nigerian content creator Habeeb Hamzat, known as Peller, has taken a new turn as the woman involved has broken her silence. Noma Odigwe has directly responded to Peller's version of events, labeling his account as fabricated and providing a detailed narrative of what she claims truly transpired at the eatery.
Lady's Account Contradicts Viral Narrative
The incident, which occurred a few days ago and was captured in a now-viral video, showed Peller screaming and hurling insults at a woman. The streamer initially claimed that Odigwe had complained about his volume in the public space and had made disparaging remarks about his father. However, in a post shared online, Noma Odigwe has firmly denied these allegations.
She described the encounter as one of the most bizarre experiences of her life. According to her account, Peller was standing close to her at the restaurant, but she did not recognize him. She explained that his behavior was the root cause of the issue.
"He was extremely loud while attempting to place his order, which made me uncomfortable," Odigwe stated. She added that her only action was to simply move away from the noise he was creating. This simple act, she claims, is what triggered the streamer's outburst.
Fabricated Statements and Unwarranted Aggression
Noma Odigwe was emphatic in her denial of key accusations Peller leveled against her. She insisted she never called him illiterate or irritating, asserting that these statements were completely fabricated. Her narrative paints a picture of an unprovoked attack.
"He began shouting at me simply because I moved away," she explained. Odigwe stressed that the streamer's subsequent behavior was both inappropriate and entirely unwarranted, as she had done nothing to provoke him beyond seeking a quieter personal space.
Social Media Erupts in Support of Odigwe
The lady's post detailing her experience has ignited a fresh wave of reactions on social media, with many users siding with her and criticizing Peller's conduct. The court of public opinion has been actively dissecting the event based on the available video and both accounts.
User @Allezamani reacted strongly, commenting, "Someone complained that you’re noisy but instead of taking correction, you went ahead to start barking like a dog and making a video. Peller should seek mental help." This sentiment reflects a portion of the online community that views his response as disproportionate.
Others, however, scrutinized the video evidence. User @MarioIced pointed out potential narrative issues, stating, "Trying to push a stupid narrative... by analyzing this, Peller's words started the video so why driving a narrative you aren't even sure about." Meanwhile, @ifywills questioned if there was more footage, noting the video seems to show Odigwe stepping away as she described.
The incident has also drawn commentary from other public figures. Social commentator Solomon Buchi previously dragged Peller over the restaurant incident, stating clearly that "he clearly harassed the young woman."
This clash adds to a series of recent controversies for the streamer. Legit.ng had previously reported on Peller blasting his girlfriend, content creator Jarvis, over a video concerning a promise ring, further fueling discussions about his public conduct and relationships.
