BBNaija’s DeeOne Says Peller Is Now More Popular Online Than Genevieve Nnaji
Reality TV star and comedian DeeOne has stirred conversations on social media after claiming that TikTok personality Peller is currently more popular online than veteran Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji.
DeeOne made the remark following the record-breaking success of a recent TikTok livestream featuring Davido, Peller, Jarvis, and Jo Blaq, which attracted over 260,000 viewers — the highest number for any African livestream so far.
[smartslider3 slider="2"]Reacting to the impressive feat, DeeOne praised Peller for his growing online presence and influence. He suggested that with numbers like these, Peller’s digital popularity may now surpass that of established entertainment figures like Genevieve Nnaji, especially in the fast-evolving world of social media.
He also estimated that the livestream might have earned about $150,000 through digital “lion gifts,” highlighting the increasing financial value of social media followership and online engagement.
While DeeOne’s statement has divided opinions online, it reflects a broader conversation about how public figures are measured today — not just by traditional awards or movie roles, but by real-time online influence and audience engagement.
💭 What are your thoughts?
Is online popularity now a stronger sign of relevance than long-standing fame in movies or music? Or should both forms of influence be valued differently in today’s entertainment industry?
