Popular TikTok streamer Peller has publicly responded to content creator Solomon Buchi, denying allegations of defamation after Buchi reported him to the UK Metropolitan Police. The dispute stems from statements Peller made during a live streaming session while visiting the United Kingdom.
Background of the Dispute
On Saturday, September 5, 2026, Solomon Buchi announced he was taking legal action against Peller over comments made during a broadcast. In the live stream, Peller alleged that an individual named "Buchi" had engaged in an extramarital affair with a married woman. Peller stated, "Mr Buchi, I have heard your story. Mr Buchi is not a good person, guys. He went to sleep with someone's wife. Someone told me that story."
Buchi, who has been a vocal critic of Peller's content creation style, assumed the narrative was directed at him. In a public statement, Buchi revealed that the damaging claims severely impacted his mental health, resulting in a medically documented nervous breakdown.
Peller's Clarification
In response, Peller dismissed the backlash and clarified that his comments were aimed at an entirely different individual who happens to be a fan. He told Buchi, "You aren't the only one bearing Buchi." Peller also shared videos on his social media platforms to support his clarification.
Impact and Next Steps
The incident highlights the potential consequences of public statements made by influencers during live streams. As of now, no further legal proceedings have been announced, and Peller's clarification may influence the outcome of Buchi's complaint to the UK police.
