Popular Nigerian content creator Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, has been hospitalised following a distressing video in which he spoke about ending his life after an altercation with fellow social media personality, Jarvis.
The video, which spread rapidly across TikTok and X on Monday, showed the influencer in an emotional state, speaking directly to his followers and suggesting he could no longer cope with the situation surrounding his relationship.
His remarks immediately triggered concern among fans and fellow creators.
Shortly after the clip surfaced, reports emerged that Peller was involved in an incident that required urgent medical attention.
Sources close to the matter confirmed that he was rushed to a hospital, where he is currently receiving care and has been placed under observation.
Moreover, individuals familiar with the situation said the episode followed a heated disagreement between Peller and Jarvis, whose on-and-off relationship has frequently played out in the public eye.
Although both figures are known for sharing personal moments online, this incident marked a troubling escalation.
A source within his circle described the development as alarming, saying the influencer had been under intense emotional pressure.
“He was clearly overwhelmed and not thinking straight. What mattered at that point was getting him help immediately,” the source said.
Meanwhile, Jarvis has not issued an official statement on the incident.
However, close associates insist efforts are being made privately to de-escalate tensions and prioritise Peller’s wellbeing rather than fuel online speculation.
Further reactions from the digital community have been swift.
Several creators and mental health advocates used the moment to caution against cyberbullying and the emotional toll of online fame.
Many also urged fans to show empathy instead of sharing the video repeatedly.
As of press time, hospital officials have not released detailed medical updates. However, sources say Peller is stable and being monitored closely.
The incident has reignited conversations around mental health awareness in Nigeria’s fast-growing creator economy.
Hence, advocates continue to call for responsible reporting, compassion online, and greater access to mental health support for young Nigerians navigating fame and personal relationships simultaneously.
