Shina Peller, a former Nigerian federal lawmaker, has addressed the circulating rumors suggesting that he is somehow related to the popular TikTok personality known as Peller. The entertainment mogul took the opportunity to clarify the situation, asserting that despite the widespread recognition of the Peller name, the TikTok star is not part of his family lineage.
In a recent interview with Channels TV, Shina Peller openly discussed the speculation that had been raised by fans and media alike. He mentioned that many people had approached him with questions about whether or not the TikTok sensation was related to him, given their shared last name. Shina acknowledged the curiosity surrounding the issue and responded with clarity.
He explained, “I have heard about the TikTok star Peller, and a lot of people have asked me whether he’s a member of our family.” He went on to elaborate, stating that although the Professor Peller dynasty is indeed large and well-known, the young TikTok star does not belong to their extended family. Shina highlighted that the Peller name is deeply rooted in their family history, specifically tied to his father, who was a renowned magician and adopted the name “Peller” as part of his stage persona. This name, Shina clarified, has been passed down within their family since his father’s time.
Further elaborating, Shina remarked, “Truly, Professor Peller’s family is quite extended, but he is not a member of the family.” He emphasized that the name “Peller” has become somewhat iconic, not just within their family but in the broader public consciousness, particularly due to his father’s legacy as a magician. As a result, Shina explained that while the comedian known as Peller may be successful in using the name for his brand, he is not, in fact, a member of their family.
To conclude, Shina firmly stated, “Peller, the comedian, is not a member of the Peller family. It’s a successful name. He’s just being smart. He’s being able to pop with the name. You can’t blame him, but I can tell you categorically that he’s not a member of the Peller family.” With this statement, Shina Peller made it clear that although the name “Peller” may be shared, there is no familial connection between him and the TikTok personality, dispelling any misconceptions that had arisen from the rumors.
