Popular TikTok content creator and livestreamer, Hamzat Habeeb, widely known as Peller, has sparked outrage and concern after crashing his car during a live broadcast on Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lagos.
The incident, which occurred during a livestream on Instagram he titled “RIP Peller” on Sunday, that has since circulated widely on social media, showed the influencer driving alone in his newly acquired Mercedes-Benz while visibly distressed.
In the video, Peller was seen crying and speaking emotionally during a phone conversation believed to be with his girlfriend, Jarvis, amid rumours of a possible breakup.
At several points in the livestream, he appeared agitated and made alarming statements, saying, “I will use this car and have an accident right now,” and later, “I’m scared. I’m scared.”
During the livestream, Peller made several disturbing statements that alarmed viewers. In one moment, he could be heard saying, “If you break up with me, people will be mocking me, they will be mocking me, they will be mocking me, they will be, they will be mocking me, they will not… Thank you, I’m going to kill myself.”
Moments later, the streamer was seen driving into another part of the road before deliberately ramming the vehicle into a stone, causing a crash.
Another clip that surfaced online showed Peller being assisted by individuals at the scene and later taken to a hospital. The extent of his injuries has not been officially confirmed as of the time of filing this report.
