The musician's announcement to host the viral Nigerian sensation sparked a euphoria on social media.
Peller was received by the musician's team members, including his manager Sammy Flex and a host of media creators.
The 20-year-old streamer was transported in a luxurious SUV straight to one of Shatta Wale's mansions, where he and his entourage would lodge.
After his first few hours in Ghana, Peller touched base with the acclaimed dancehall artist via a live TikTok interaction.
The On God hitmaker, wearing his new hairstyle, welcomed him to the country and discussed his plans for Peller, whose trip is sponsored by Shaxi, a ride-hailing service owned by Shatta Wale.
According to the musician, he would be taking Peller to Nima where he grew up and honed his craft as Ghana's dancehall king.
Nima has also become the home of Shatta Wale's massive SM fanbase. A fan group from the town has already shared their readiness to receive Peller.
In a clip culled from Shatta Wale's live interaction with the Nigerian sensation, he asked to be taken to Kumasi, which is about six hours from Accra by road.
The SM boss giggled at the feasibility of Peller's plans for Kumasi, considering his brief stint in Ghana. However, he gave in after the content creator insisted on meeting his own fans in the region.
Shatta Wale responded to Peller's request on condition that he would get a private jet to transport him. In the video, the artist was heard instructing one of his executives, saying:
"Julio, call my dad and let's if we can get a private jet for Saturday."

It's unclear who Shatta Wale was counting on for the private jet. Apart from the musician's biological father, he has several top personalities, including Francis Amoa-Abban and Dr Daniel McKorley, the owner of McDan Aviation Services.
Shatta Wale also has ties with Bills founder Richard Nii-Armah Quaye, who recently bought a custom-branded private jet for his 40th birthday.
Shatta Wale makes appeal to Mahama
In another story reported by YEN.com.gh, Shatta Wale appealed to President John Mahama, beseeching him to consider signing some Ghanaian artists as tourism ambassadors.
In the dancehall musician's post, he argued that local performers, most of whom are independent, have been striding as they chart their own paths and called for them to be supported.
Addressing the Ghanaian statesman in his message, the On God hitmaker also highlighted the relevance of artists like these to a country's soft power and cultural leverage.
