In a video posted on his Instagram page on January 7, 2026, Buchi said:
“This is what happens when you platform stupidity, illiteracy, when you platform foolishness, it’s not just foolishness, it’s loud foolishness. Foolishness that’s loud, crude, and absolutely unnecessary. This is the result of mistaking social media numbers for impact, for relevance, for significance, for morals.
“Why did the security in that restaurant not actually kick him out? Because he was harassing that young woman. He wouldn’t try that outside of Nigeria. He called her a pr0stitute. He was harassing her, and that constitutes as anti-social behaviour.”

“Solomon I am not a fan of Peller neither am I a fan of his content. It might cringe some of you guys but let’s be fair, if I saw you talking in public and maybe it might have irked me in a way, I won’t call you an ‘illiterate’ or abuse you first.. someone like this I’ll rather ignore him or if I won’t, I’ll mind my words. We can judge him by his reputation and his misdemeanor sometimes but on this, you can’t excuse what the lady said just cos we don’t like his manner of approach or content. Are we missing the part he said the lady insulted him first? We cant justify what she said and then not allow what he did. In this case, they are both wrong.”
