Nigerian TikTok personality Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, was hospitalized on Saturday following a dramatic car crash that occurred during a live-stream session with his fans. The incident has since sparked widespread reactions online, blending concern, skepticism, and renewed conversations around mental health.
Reports indicate that Peller was visibly emotional during the live broadcast, where he tearfully expressed distress linked to a personal disagreement with his partner, Jarvis, whose real name is Abdulrafiu Ayinde. Moments later, his customized Mercedes-Benz GLE reportedly valued at over ₦100 million was involved in a crash, abruptly ending the stream.
Eyewitnesses at the scene quickly intervened, pulling the influencer from the damaged vehicle before rushing him to a nearby hospital for urgent medical attention. Medical sources later confirmed that Peller’s condition was stabilized. Subsequent videos shared online showed him recuperating in a hospital bed, with Jarvis by his side, offering reassurance to worried supporters.
The shocking episode ignited mixed reactions across social media. While some users questioned the authenticity of the incident, suggesting it could have been staged for attention, many others expressed genuine concern for Peller’s wellbeing. The situation has also reignited discussions about the intense emotional and psychological pressures faced by young digital creators navigating fame, public scrutiny, and personal relationships in the spotlight.
