Popular Nigerian TikTok star, Habeeb Hamzat Adelaja, also known as Peller, has shared how the burden of being his family’s breadwinner at just 19 is affecting his mental health.
In a live session with actress Sandra Benede, the young star opened up about his struggles, saying he is tired of the pressure and doesn’t enjoy going home anymore. Peller said that even though he is not yet 20, he already has big responsibilities that make him feel like he’s the parent in the family, even though he has an older brother.
“If not that they would start looking for me, I would have just gone to America to stay there and go offline. I’ve been wanting to do it for a while now,” he said during the emotional live session.
