“I Used To Be A Carpenter”-Peller

Habeeb Hamzat, the TikTok star better known as Peller, has revealed he was a carpenter before venturing into content creation.

Peller opened up about his life before fame in a recent episode of Rubbin Minds.

The content creator said his journey began when he was just 13 years old, learning a skill at a printing press.

He said he kept running away from work, fearing that he would end up like the “60-year-old vulcanizers” he usually saw.

Peller said his parents eventually discovered his truancy and beat him, leading him to choose carpentry as a new skill to learn.

He said despite his initial reluctance, he put effort into learning carpentry. He said he was discouraged by his boss’s modest lifestyle, wondering when he could afford his car.

He said it was during this time that he discovered TikTok and began creating content.

“Before TikTok, it was school and furniture. I initially started learning to work as a printer in a printing press when I was about 13 or 14 but I was always running away. This was because I would see 60-year-olds working as vulcanizers and I did not want my life to end up like that,” he said.

“Even the person that owned the printing press, rented the space. In my mind if my boss was still renting, how would I even grow? So I kept running away to go and play football. When I got home at night, I would pretend like I went to work.

“Unknown to me, my mum had gone to my workplace in the afternoon and found out that I had not been there in three months. She already told my dad, who was then a vigilante and he took me to his place of work where they beat me mercilessly.

“They then asked me what skill I actually wanted to learn. To be honest I did not want to learn anything but the fear in my heart made me say carpentry. I also promised that I would not run away anymore, so I was taken to where I started learning carpentry.

“I was actually putting effort into it but my boss was also driving a very small car and in my head it made me feel like, if this was his car then which day would I be able to afford mine? It was while I was still learning carpentry that I ventured into TikTok.”
