TikTok star Peller has insisted he never accused life coach Solomon Buchi of sleeping with another man’s wife, saying the “Mr Buchi” he roasted on a London livestream was a fan he already had online banter with.
The storm started when Peller, whose real name is Habeeb Olalomi, told viewers he had heard a damaging story.
“I heard your news, I’ve heard your story, Mr Buchi. Someone told me something about Mr Buchi. Someone told me that Mr Buchi is not a good person,” he said.
He went further:
“Mr Buchi slept with someone’s wife. They told me his story. Someone told me his story. He’s not a better person.”
Solomon Buchi, who lives in the UK, took the clip as an attack on his marriage. He called the claim false and said it wrecked his mental health.
“Peller made a deeply damaging and false accusation that I cheated on my wife with another man’s wife. This allegation has severely affected my mental health and caused me to suffer a nervous breakdown, which has been documented by my GP. I have also reported the matter to the Metropolitan Police, as he is currently in the UK.”
Peller’s reply put the blame on a mix-up of names. He said he wanted to clap back at a follower who had been abusing him in polished English, not at the well-known commentator.
“I was referring to one of my fans, Mr Buchi, whom I had an online banter with, not Solomon Buchi. Is he the only Buchi in the world?” he said.
On a later stream he sounded stunned that the life coach had stepped into the fight.
“I don’t even know that your name is Buchi o! I didn’t know! Are you the only Buchi in the world? I didn’t even know your name until now.”
He also denied the version of the quote now attached to him.
“Wait, why are people lying like this? Did I say you shit on your wife? Please, that man should not mess with me o!”
He claimed that other Buchi had already apologised and called it a misunderstanding.
After Peller’s clarification, Solomon Buchi eased off the police-threat heat and framed his move as a lesson about British law.
“Thank God Peller clarified. I was just bantering. I only wanted to show people that the UK is not Nigeria; things work differently here. For those saying I have been doing the same thing, there is a difference between criticism and defamation. Peller should be careful with Pastor Tobi.”
Peller’s camp is treating that as proof the streamer was never talking about the life coach. Critics still say a public cheating claim, even aimed at “a fan called Buchi,” was reckless while both men were in the same country and the clip could be read as targeting a famous married commentator.
