Pinch them off otherwise they will start setting peppers too soon and stunt your plant. The first set of blooms should always be pinched it’s true for every type of pepper. If it starts putting energy into fruiting this early in its development your plant will never recover and you will have a very small and short lived harvest. It sucks but trust me, pinch them off and wait for the plant to mature more before you allow fruit to set. Personally I pinch off the first 3-4 rounds of buds and I get A LOT of peppers every year.
Think of these like a teen pregnancy, sure it’ll make a baby but it’s better if mom is more mature
