TikTok influencer, Habeeb Hamzat, known as Peller, has been hospitalized after crashing his newly purchase Mercedes-Benz during an emotional livedstream.
The incident took place on Sunday on the Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lagos during an Instagram live session titled: “RIP Peller.”
In the widely shared video, Peller appeared visibly upset while driving alone and engaged in what seemed to be a heated phone call, reportedly with his girlfriend and fellow content creator, Jarvis, amid rumors of a potential breakup.
During the livestream, Peller was seen crying and showing signs of agitation, making several alarming comments, including suggestions that he might cause an accident and expressing feelings of fear and emotional turmoil.
He voiced worries about being publicly ridiculed if the relationship ended, stating at one point that he might harm himself without endangering others.
“I will use this car and have an accident right now,” he said, later adding, “I’m scared. I’m scared.”
“If you break up with me, people will be mocking me, they will be mocking me, they will be mocking me… Thank you, I’m going to kill myself.”

The couple’s relationship has been tumultuous, with previous public disputes, allegations, and reconciliations playing out on social media.
Leaked messages suggesting another breakup have led to speculation that this latest conflict triggered the incident.

Calls have been made for the Federal Road Safety Corps to investigate due to potential risks to public safety.
No official statements have been released by Peller, Jarvis, or relevant authorities.
