Nigerian Streamer Peller Expresses Shock at Roby Ekpo's Emotional Interview
Nigerian TikToker and streamer Hamzat Habeeb Adelaja, widely known as Peller, has openly mocked media personality Roby Ekpo for weeping publicly over the end of his 11-year marriage. The reaction followed Roby Ekpo's deeply emotional appearance on the Honest Bunch podcast, where he broke down in tears while revealing that his estranged wife, Mayowa Lambe, had subjected him to infidelity, deception, and financial strain before secretly remarrying in the United States.
"How Can You Be Crying in 2026?" Peller Questions
In a video circulating online where he repeatedly played the podcast clip, Peller expressed utter amazement that a man over 40 years of age could cry like a baby because of a crashed marriage. He questioned why anyone would still be shedding tears over a woman in this current year, stating, "How can you be crying over a woman in 2026?" The popular streamer went on to boast about his own emotional resilience, noting that if he were to narrate the bitter things he has personally experienced in his relationship, Roby Ekpo would actually end up shedding tears on his behalf.
Peller swore that God forbid he ever wept again, concluding that he would have to be completely foolish to shed tears over romance or any woman. He declared, "I can never cry over love or any woman again unless I am a mumu or dodoyo." This statement highlights his firm stance on emotional detachment in relationships, drawing from his own painful past experiences.
Social Media Users Fire Back at Peller
Angry social media users quickly fired back at Peller, reminding him of the time he almost harmed himself because of his young girlfriend and fellow streamer, Jarvis. Comments flooded in, with users pointing out the hypocrisy in his remarks. One user, @Akinbee10, commented, "Coming from person wey wan die cuz of woman" if you cry self e still make sense pass you wey wan die ?????" Another, @ChigozieMeltus, said, "Because you get luck say you still d alive mugu wey wan go kill yourself because of woman."
Further criticism came from @_44Hann, who wrote, "Shut up your mouth. You wey almost kill yourself because of that small pikin Jarvis wey never wash her Toto finish well. Stupid boy ?" @stylishnene reacted, "This is what Nigerians allow. A child speaks about a 50 plus old in such a manner .. Why? He is rich. Mschewww" These responses underscore the public's disapproval of Peller's comments, highlighting his own vulnerabilities in past relationships.
Background on Peller and Jarvis's Relationship
Earlier reports indicated that notable TikTok star and influencer, Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, popularly known as Jarvis (or Jadrolita), opened up about a medical condition that is gradually becoming a concern for her boyfriend, Peller. This declaration was made following their vacation in the Maldives, where the duo spent days celebrating Peller's recently concluded tour. According to Jarvis, in a streaming session, the skin condition, which is yet to be identified due to Peller's initial refusal to seek a medical opinion, is spreading across his body.
The ongoing saga between Peller and Jarvis adds context to the current controversy, as it reveals Peller's own struggles in his personal life, which social media users were quick to reference in their backlash. This incident not only sparks debate over emotional expression in relationships but also brings to light the complexities of celebrity relationships in the digital age.
