Comedian OGB Recent Details Why IShowSpeed Repeatedly Snubbed TikToker Peller During Nigeria Trip
Nigerian comedian and actor Michael Charles Okechukwu, widely known as OGB Recent or OGB Cultist, has provided a detailed explanation for why American streamer IShowSpeed ignored popular TikToker Peller on two separate occasions during his recent visit to Nigeria. The incident, which occurred in January 2026, has sparked significant discussion across social media platforms and entertainment circles in Nigeria.
The Background of the Conflict
According to OGB Recent, the tension between Peller and IShowSpeed predated the actual meeting. In a video shared via his Instagram account, OGB revealed that Peller had previously created a video clip where he vowed to ignore IShowSpeed if the American streamer ever visited Nigeria. OGB emphasized that Peller used harsh language against IShowSpeed in this earlier content, which set a negative tone for their eventual interaction.
This past action played a crucial role in what unfolded when Peller later attempted to meet Speed in person, OGB explained during his detailed account of the events. The comedian stressed that respectful conduct is essential when approaching influential personalities, particularly those with massive global followings like IShowSpeed.
The Failed Meeting Attempts
OGB Recent narrated how, with assistance from businessman Obi Cubana, he went to IShowSpeed's hotel during the streamer's Nigeria visit. OGB approached the security team respectfully, requesting a photo opportunity for what he described as his younger brother, referring to Peller. The bouncers initially agreed to the request, noting OGB's polite and proper approach.
However, when IShowSpeed eventually appeared and Peller revealed himself as the supposed younger brother, the American streamer declined the photo request. The situation changed completely once Peller's identity was revealed, OGB noted, adding that the bouncers later mentioned someone had behaved arrogantly at the venue earlier, which they connected to Peller.
Criticism of Peller's Conduct
OGB Recent was particularly critical of Peller's lack of proper manners and discipline. He suggested that the TikToker needs to learn how to approach influential figures appropriately, especially someone of IShowSpeed's stature. Peller was solely responsible for the rejection, OGB concluded, warning that such behavior could lead to bigger problems in the future if not corrected.
The comedian emphasized that while popularity might open doors, humility and respectful conduct are what keep those doors open. He stressed that Peller's earlier disrespectful comments about IShowSpeed created an unavoidable barrier to any positive interaction during the streamer's Nigeria visit.
Nigerian Social Media Reactions

OGB Recent's Clarification on Cultism Label
In related news, OGB Recent has previously clarified that he is not a cultist and does not promote cultism through his content. During a LegitTV interview, he explained that his skits featuring cultist characters are purely for entertainment purposes and to earn a living. He revealed that "OGB" stands for Ogbonna, a self-given name, while Michael Charles serves as his adopted stage name for professional purposes.
The comedian noted that real cultists he encounters are often gentle and frequently take photos with him, viewing him as what they call a "successful cultist" in his entertainment portrayals. This clarification comes amid ongoing discussions about the nature of his content and public persona within Nigeria's entertainment landscape.
