In the wake of the viral car crash involving popular TikToker Habeeb Hazmat, known as Peller, a close associate has come forward with startling revelations about the streamer's past behavior. Upcoming singer and content creator Oyadare Emmanuel Gbolahan, popularly called Joblaq, has expressed his disappointment and recalled a previous incident where Peller allegedly attempted to crash his car.
Joblaq's Emotional Reaction to the Mercedes Crash
Joblaq's reaction came via a live video where he addressed Peller's recent accident on the Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lagos. The crash occurred during a live broadcast where Peller was seen in visible distress, reportedly over an emotional breakup. Joblaq, clearly upset, stated he was still in shock over his colleague's actions.
"Na all these American people I know, they do this kind of thing. Peller, I no believe say you fit do this kind of thing," Joblaq said in the video. He emphasized the seriousness of the act, noting that crashing a brand-new Mercedes-Benz was no laughing matter. "Even if the whole scenario is funny, you crashed your car that you just got. After you don dey well, I suppose dey sand your face first. You no do well. This thing is not funny," he admonished.
A History of Dangerous Behavior: The Toyota Incident
The most revealing part of Joblaq's testimony was his recollection of a past event. He disclosed that this was not Peller's first time engaging in such dangerous behavior. According to Joblaq, a similar incident occurred when Peller was still driving his Toyota vehicle.
"You know this whole thing wey play, e don play before o. That time wey e dey use him Toyota, I no know the kind issue wey them get that time," Joblaq recounted. He explained that after a disagreement involving Peller and another person named Jarvis, Peller left and attempted to crash his car. "He dey always talk say e get one time wey e wan go crash him car, wey I hold am say abeg abeg," Joblaq revealed, indicating he had to physically restrain Peller from harming himself during the earlier Toyota incident.
Netizens React: From Sympathy to Criticism
The online community has been buzzing with diverse opinions since Joblaq's video surfaced. Legit.ng compiled reactions that show a wide spectrum of views on Peller's situation.
Some users, like @djkswagz, focused on the financial aspect, questioning the car's value and suggesting Peller could recoup the loss through streaming. Others expressed sympathy for his mental state. @djkenscratch commented, "I think the pressure was too much on him, he need therapy, mental health ain’t joke."
However, many criticized Peller's handling of sudden fame and wealth. @dear_umami wrote, "Peller’s just a lucky boy. The kind of money and fame that jammed Peller is what men used to put in decades of work to get. So, his age and level of enlightenment could not match it." Another user, @oluwababanlao, blamed the influence of TikTok and fans, suggesting the platform distorted his sense of money's value.
@theonlyfolakeiknow pleaded for leniency, saying "na small boy na make una leave am," while @maya__omalicha surprisingly sought a partner with Peller's level of perceived devotion.
Broader Context: Arrest and Denials
Joblaq's revelation adds a new layer to the ongoing saga surrounding Peller. This incident follows confirmed reports by the Nigerian police on December 17, 2025, regarding Peller's arrest after the crash, which was viewed as a suicide attempt.
In related developments, Jarvis, the woman at the center of the alleged breakup, has publicly denied cheating on Peller. During a live session, she defended her character, stating she never deprived Peller of anything and had given him full access in their relationship.
The sequence of events—from the live-streamed crash to the arrest, Joblaq's revelations, and Jarvis's defense—paints a complex picture of a young influencer under intense public scrutiny, grappling with personal issues in a very public forum.
