Lagos State Government has slammed popular streamer Peller with a ₦36 million tax bill after he disclosed on national television how much he makes on Tiktok.

Speaking in frustration, Peller claimed the tax demand could push him out of entertainment and social media entirely.

> “If care is not taken, I will leave entertainment and forget social media. The Government wants to make me poor. They sent me a message to pay a tax of ₦36 million. They left all the big content creators on Instagram and came to me. What did I do? I thought it’s people that have companies that pay taxes. Is it because I said on TVC that I was making a lot of money on Tiktok? I was only packaging myself. I am just a streamer. I don’t work.”

Peller further lamented the struggles he faces before earning even ₦1 million, questioning what the government has done to support him.
