Popular Nigerian streamer Habeeb Hamzat, known online as Peller, caused a buzz on social media with a bold confession: “Once I am lost in my thoughts and I want to relieve myself, I ‘soapy.” The post quickly went viral and sparked a mix of laughter, criticism, and debate.

So, what does soapy mean, and why did it get everyone talking?
In Nigerian slang, soapy is a casual term for masturbation. While it’s often joked about online, it’s still seen as a taboo subject in many parts of Nigeria due to cultural and religious values.
Peller’s comment opened up deeper conversations around how young Nigerians are using slang to talk about personal and sensitive topics that are usually avoided.

At just 20 years old, Peller is already one of Africa’s biggest online names, holding the record for the highest-viewed stream in Africa with 76,000 viewers.
Known for his sarcastic humor and viral collabs with stars like Olamide and Dax, Peller is no stranger to the spotlight or controversy.
His relationship with AI-themed TikTok creator Jarvis (real name Elizabeth Aminata Amadu) also keeps fans talking, especially after she accused him of flirting during a trip to Ghana.
Reactions to his “soapy” statement were all over the place. Some users found it hilarious. One joked about him watching “Sandra Benede clips” for motivation.
Others were more serious. One user claimed that masturbation hurts a man’s confidence and energy. And some just seemed tired of the topic, saying it’s becoming too common in online discussions.
The post even came with a funny image of him wearing a bold orange outfit, which quickly turned into a viral meme on its own.
This moment is more than just internet gossip—it shows how Nigerian slang is evolving and how young people are using platforms like X to speak freely.
While not everyone agrees with what Peller said, there’s no doubt he’s helping shape online culture in Nigeria.
