Nasty Blaq Tells Peller to ‘Go Back to School’, Sparks Online Education Debate

Popular Nigerian skit maker and content creator, Nasty Blaq, has ignited a storm on social media after publicly calling out viral TikTok influencer, Peller, over his behavior and perceived lack of education.

The controversy began when Nasty Blaq, in a candid exchange with fans, used Peller as an example while challenging the growing belief among some Nigerians that “education is a scam.” He asserted that Peller’s online actions suggest he still needs formal learning — regardless of his fame or earnings.

“The most popular word in Nigeria now is ‘education is a scam’, but Peller has proved that wrong,” Nasty said. “Forget the money you have, Peller, you need to go back to school. You don’t need to enter university, they can teach you in the house.”

In a swift response, Peller clapped back, dismissing Nasty’s comments and emphasizing that his connection with fans is more important than critics’ opinions. “As long as my fans understand me, your opinion doesn’t matter,” he replied.

The exchange quickly divided fans online. While some supported Nasty Blaq’s position, insisting that education remains essential regardless of success on social media, others sided with Peller, arguing that creativity and relatability matter more in today’s digital age.

The feud has reignited the broader conversation on the role of education versus talent and street smarts in building a successful career in entertainment.

As reactions pour in, one thing is clear: the education-versus-influence debate remains far from settled among Nigeria’s youth and digital audience.
