In an emotional highlight at the Trendup Naija Awards, 18-year-old Peller clinched the "Emerging Force" category, marking his first major accolade.
Overwhelmed with joy, Peller burst into tears as he accepted the award.
"Last year, I was a nobody. I'd go to local markets to shop. I can’t believe today I’m being styled by big brands, wearing designers, and celebrated this way by hundreds of thousands of people," Peller shared in his heartfelt speech.
He encouraged the audience with a powerful message: "Guys, I don’t even know you, but just know your life can turn around in a second. Whatever you are doing, don’t give up."
