Popular Nigerian content creator and streamer, Habeeb Hamzat, widely recognized as Peller, has voiced his frustration after losing a N2 million bet on the Chelsea vs. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) match in the ongoing 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
Peller, who recently celebrated his birthday, had confidently backed PSG to outclass Chelsea. Unfortunately for him, the English side delivered a stunning 3-0 victory, crushing his expectations.
Following the match, a video surfaced showing Peller in a car with fellow entertainer Jarvis on their way to an award event. In the clip, an agitated Peller could be seen ranting over the outcome. He criticized both teams, declaring that PSG deserved punishment from a higher power for disappointing him, while Chelsea should be struck down by the “god of thunder” for their win. He even attempted to vent his anger on the driver’s style of driving.
Peller’s experience mirrors a growing trend among Nigerian celebrities who engage in high-stakes sports betting and face massive losses.
In the past, artist Phyno lost $1,000 to DJ Master after betting that Manchester United would defeat Barcelona. Similarly, Joeboy lost N3 million in a bet that Real Madrid would beat Arsenal in an April 2025 clash Arsenal won. Entrepreneur Soso Soberekon also faced disappointment in 2024 when he bet $10,000 on England to defeat Spain, only to watch England lose.
These incidents underscore the unpredictable nature of football and the risks of betting, no matter how confident the prediction.
