Popular Nigerian comedian Sabinus has stepped forward to offer support and understanding to young TikTok sensation Peller, following the influencer's highly publicized and emotional split from Jarvis in December 2025.
Sabinus Draws from Personal Pain
During a recent live session with Sandra Benede, Sabinus, whose real name is Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, shared a story from his own past to illustrate the powerful and sometimes painful grip of love. He revealed a deeply personal anecdote to explain why people should not be quick to judge Peller for his actions following the breakup.
"I have been in Peller's situation before. Love is a bad thing," the comedian stated frankly. "I gifted a girl a Range Rover because of love, so nobody should blame Peller."
By admitting to this extravagant gesture—the gift of a luxury vehicle worth millions of naira—Sabinus highlighted how intense emotions can lead even successful individuals to make decisions they might later reconsider. His intervention serves as a reminder that fame does not inoculate anyone from the vulnerabilities of heartbreak.
The Backdrop of Peller's Emotional Turmoil
Sabinus's call for compassion comes in the wake of a dramatic period for Peller. The breakup with fellow influencer Jarvis escalated publicly when, in December 2025, Peller crashed his Mercedes-Benz during an Instagram live session on the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
He later confirmed the accident was triggered by distress from an argument with Jarvis. Following the crash, Peller was briefly hospitalized and subsequently announced the end of the relationship. He has since declared that 2026 will be a "girl-free" year for him, focusing instead on personal growth and recovery.
Netizens React with Mixed Feelings
The revelation by Sabinus sparked a flurry of reactions online, with many netizens sharing their own experiences and opinions on love and heartbreak.
One user, @bens2030, commented critically, drawing a distinction between the two cases: "Sabinus, did your foolishness put your life up in danger by wanting to kill yourself because she broke your heart? Peller foolish."
Others echoed Sabinus's sentiment about love's blinding effect. @odehetiosa shared a relatable struggle: "Brother I borrow money cos of love... And I am still paying the price for love that didn't even last for 1 year."
User @KristelBy38900 offered a philosophical take: "Love go turn you to full mumu. See even all these people preaching for you. They understand better. Love go make you do the unthinkable."
The discussion highlighted a common theme: the universal and often costly lessons learned in matters of the heart, regardless of one's status or wealth.
In a related development, Peller had earlier shared a sobering conversation with his mother after his car crash. During a TikTok live, he recounted her blunt words: if he had died, she would mourn for a month, less the next, and by the third month, would be dissolving his bank accounts and sharing his assets. Peller interpreted this harsh lesson as a reminder of life's solitary journey.
Through his defense, Sabinus has shifted the narrative from one of blame to one of shared human experience, urging the public to look beyond the headlines and see the personal struggle behind Peller's very public ordeal.
