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.
Photos shared online revealed that the vehicle was badly
damaged following the crash.
The incident has triggered widespread reactions across
social media, with many users expressing concern over the act and calling on
authorities to intervene.
Several netizens urged the Federal Road Safety Corps to
investigate the incident, noting that the action endangered not only the
content creator’s life but also other road users.
While some viewers claimed the incident may have been staged
for content, others insisted there should be consequences for what they
described as reckless and dangerous behaviour during a live broadcast.
As of press time, neither Peller nor relevant authorities
had issued an official statement on the incident.
