Peller Says Fans’ Support Means More Than Trophy
Reacting to the outcome, Peller addressed his supporters in an appreciative message, acknowledging those who voted, campaigned and stood behind him throughout the awards process.
He described his fan community as his family and said their loyalty had given him something more valuable than an award.
“My family, we may not have won the award, but you all have given me something bigger than a trophy: your love, support and loyalty,” he said.
The streamer also described his nomination as a blessing, adding that he would never take the support of his followers for granted.
He encouraged them to continue believing in him despite the outcome, making it clear that losing the award would not end his ambition or commitment to streaming.
Peller concluded his message with the expression, “We move!”, signalling his determination to continue pursuing his career.
Ashswag Beats Peller and Carter Efe
Peller and Carter Efe were nominated for the Best International Streamer category alongside Indian creator Ashswag, Polish streamer Young Multi and Cuban content creator Staryuuki.
However, Ashswag emerged victorious, securing the international recognition ahead of the Nigerian entertainers.
The Indian creator expressed excitement after receiving the award and thanked the audience for the recognition.
His victory attracted attention among Nigerian social media users, particularly because Peller and Carter Efe had generated considerable interest during the nomination and voting period.
Although neither Nigerian creator secured the trophy, their nominations placed them among the international personalities recognised at the event.
Peller Criticises Organisers Over Award Presentation
Beyond expressing gratitude to his supporters, Peller also raised concerns about how the Best International Streamer category was handled.
The Nigerian entertainer reportedly questioned the organisers’ decision to announce the winner on the red carpet before the main ceremony began.
He argued that nominees in the international category deserved the same level of recognition and presentation given to other award categories.
However, Peller clarified that his complaint was not directed at Ashswag, stressing that his concern was with the organisers’ treatment of the category.
His comments generated further discussion among Nigerian entertainment followers, with some supporting his demand for equal recognition.

The outcome has continued to generate conversations about the growing international visibility of Nigerian livestreamers.
Peller and Carter Efe have built substantial audiences through their online content and livestreaming activities, making their nominations a talking point among Nigerian fans.
While the award went to Ashswag, Peller’s reaction highlighted the importance he places on his relationship with his audience.
For the streamer, the support received during the competition remains a source of encouragement as he continues to build his career.
