The Carter Efe TikTok ban has sparked fresh questions about Nigerian content creator Peller.
The controversy started after an old video of Peller resurfaced online.
In the video, Peller urged his followers to report Carter Efe’s TikTok account.
The footage began circulating again after TikTok permanently removed Carter Efe’s main account.
However, there is no confirmed evidence that Peller’s appeal caused the ban. TikTok said the account was removed because of repeated violations of its Community Guidelines.
Why Peller is facing scrutiny
Carter Efe’s account had more than 5.6 million followers before it was banned.
It had also recorded about 158 million likes.
The size of the account made the ban a major talking point among social media users.
Then, the old video involving Peller resurfaced.
In the clip, Peller appeared to ask his followers to report Carter Efe’s page.
The timing quickly led some users to connect the old video to the new ban.
However, that connection remains unproven.
Peller speaks after the ban
Peller has since responded to the accusations surrounding the ban.
Rather than simply dismissing the resurfaced video, he pointed to Carter Efe’s activities during livestreams.
Peller argued that TikTok had its own reasons for taking action against the account.
He also suggested that Carter Efe’s livestream behaviour could have attracted the platform’s attention.
Peller did not provide evidence that he personally caused the ban.
His response has nevertheless added another layer to the controversy surrounding the two creators.
What TikTok said about Carter Efe’s account
The Carter Efe TikTok ban was linked by the platform to policy violations.
Screenshots of the enforcement notice showed that the account had been permanently banned.
This was not the first time Carter Efe had lost a major TikTok account.
His previous account had about 3.5 million followers before it was removed in 2025.
That earlier ban followed controversy involving comments he made about Nigerian music star Wizkid during a livestream.
Carter Efe later rebuilt his audience and grew his replacement account to more than 5.6 million followers.
Peller and Carter Efe have history
The latest controversy comes against the background of a long-running public rivalry between Peller and Carter Efe.
The two creators have clashed on social media on several occasions.
Their disagreements have often attracted attention from their large online audiences.
As a result, the resurfaced video quickly became a major part of the conversation surrounding Carter Efe’s latest ban.
Some social media users have questioned Peller’s role.
Others have pointed to TikTok’s stated reason for removing the account.
The ban raises wider questions
The controversy has also revived discussions about the risks faced by creators who depend heavily on social media platforms.
Carter Efe had spent time rebuilding his audience after losing his first major TikTok account.
He then lost another page with millions of followers.
For creators, such a ban can mean losing years of content, followers and digital reach.
At the same time, the incident shows how old social media posts can return when new controversies emerge.
For now, the link between Peller’s old appeal and the Carter Efe TikTok ban remains an allegation rather than an established fact.
TikTok’s stated reason remains repeated violations of its Community Guidelines.
