Nigerian TikToker, Jarvis Confirms Breakup With Peller, Appeals Against Mockery

TikTok content creator Elizabeth Amadou, popularly known as Jarvis, has confirmed the end of her relationship with fellow influencer and livestreamer Hamzat Habeeb, known as Peller. She also urged the public to stop mocking him in the wake of his recent car crash during a live broadcast.

Jarvis made the disclosure in a live video shared online on Tuesday amid widespread reactions to Peller’s hospitalisation after the incident on the Lekki‑Epe Expressway in Lagos.

Addressing online commentary surrounding the crash and the couple’s relationship, Jarvis said public ridicule was exacerbating an already painful situation.

“It’s always people will mock me. Because I can see concern about this online. People will mock him, stop mocking him. Stop shading him,” she said.

She stressed that the incident should not be used to define Peller’s character, insisting she never portrayed him as a bad person.

Acknowledging Peller’s emotional challenges, Jarvis described his struggle with emotional control as the core issue rather than malice.

“Yes, he cannot control his emotions. He cannot control. That’s the problem. I can control mine, but he can’t control his. We need to join hands together to help him,” she said.

Confirming that they are no longer together, Jarvis said the breakup was necessary and should not be misconstrued as abandonment.

“Peller is a sweet guy, I do not even want it to even end but it has happened, it has happened,” she said.

Jarvis emphasised that the focus should now be on supporting Peller’s wellbeing and healing.

“The relationship is not the thing now. It’s not saying let’s go back to who we were. The solution is let’s put our heads together to work on him. To be better. Not space of we not talking, it is space of this relationship thing. It is over for now,” she said.

She explained that the separation was intended to give space for healing and urged supporters and social media users to desist from harmful narratives.

“Stop your shading. How is it helping? It’s not helping. Don’t use it against him. Encourage him. Encourage us. Help us. Stop using our pain to mock us,” she added.

Expressing emotional distress, Jarvis said the online reactions had deepened the pain surrounding the situation.

Jarvis urged the public to be thankful that no life was lost in the crash and to prioritise wellbeing.

“All you people should be saying is thank God for life. Thank God for Peller. Thank God nothing happened to him.

“I love him, but for now we need to be okay. I’m not okay anymore. I want to be okay. He needs to be okay, he needs to be fine,” she said.

She concluded by noting that breakups do not always stem from hatred but sometimes from a need for clarity and calm.

Earlier, Tori News reported that Peller sparked concern on Sunday after crashing his car during an Instagram livestream titled “RIP Peller” on the Lekki‑Epe Expressway.

In the footage, Peller was seen alone in his newly acquired Mercedes‑Benz, visibly distressed and crying during a phone conversation believed to be with Jarvis amid rumours of a breakup.

At several points during the broadcast, he appeared agitated and made alarming statements, including, “I will use this car and have an accident right now,” and later, “I’m scared. I’m scared.”

In a particularly worrying moment, he said, “If you break up with me, people will be mocking me… Thank you, I’m going to kill myself.”

Moments later, the vehicle was seen veering off the road before crashing into a stone barrier.

Subsequent videos circulating online showed Peller being assisted by bystanders before he was taken to a hospital.
