Content creator Kokopee has come to the defense of fellow streamer and influencer Peller following the wave of criticism surrounding his influence on Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
Speaking in a viral video, Kokopee argued that it is unfair to hold Peller responsible for broader societal issues, insisting that the young content creator is simply making use of the opportunities available to him. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
According to Kokopee, Nigerians should celebrate their own digital creators in the same way countries like the United States support internet personalities such as IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat.
He maintained that instead of tearing down successful creators, Nigerians should encourage and support them as they build global brands.
His comments come amid ongoing debates sparked by recent remarks from some entertainers, who questioned the growing influence of online content creators in the entertainment space.
The video has since generated mixed reactions online. While many agreed with Kokopee’s stance that Peller should not be made a scapegoat, others argued that discussions about the impact of social media personalities on young people remain important.
As the conversation continues, many Nigerians are weighing in on whether the country does enough to support its digital talents compared to other parts of the world.
What do you think?
Should Nigerians celebrate creators like Peller the same way Americans celebrate IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat, or are the criticisms justified?
