Peller reacts to backlash over car gift to Jarvis

Nigerian TikToker and content creator Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has reacted to the backlash he received for gifting Jarvis a new Mercedes Benz AMG.

The surprise gift was given to celebrate Jarvis’ birthday, shortly after the duo got back together.

Peller, responded to the online backlash, stating that he only bought the car gifts because he is rich and can afford it.

He explained that buying a car for one’s parent  is often viewed as a responsibility, while gifting a girlfriend a car is perceived differently.

“Being rich is not by what you buy for yourself, or what you buy for your mummy. If you buy it for your mummy they’d say it is out of pity because she don take care of you from small. She deserve am. That one na normal thing. Buying your girlfriend a car is the best way to show people that you’re rich. My mum wanted a 9million Toyota because of maintenance but I bought her a 20million Hyundai instead. If I had bought her exactly what she requested for people would’ve dragged me. E come be like na me be the first person to buy car for girl. Ordinary small car for my baby. I love my baby o,” he stated.
