Popular TikTok personality Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, has sparked fresh controversy online after declaring that he will never marry a Nigerian woman, following his highly publicised and messy breakup with fellow content creator Jarvis. The 20-year-old influencer made the startling revelation during a recent livestream, where he spoke candidly about love, heartbreak, and his new vision for marriage.
In an emotionally charged session with fans, Peller revealed that his romantic compass has shifted far beyond Nigeria’s borders. According to him, a recent encounter with a woman from eSwatini left a deep impression and reshaped his idea of an ideal life partner. He described the unnamed lady as exceptionally beautiful, calm, and composed qualities he suggested were lacking in his previous relationship.
Peller went further to state that he is fully prepared to travel to the Southern African country to formalise the relationship, including paying a traditional bride price. “I recently encountered a lady from eSwatini; she’s not only very beautiful but also calm and collected,” he said. “I will never marry a Nigerian. eSwatini is my new target for finding a wife. I will go to the country and marry that lady. I will give her father 17 cows.”
The blunt remarks immediately triggered mixed reactions online, with some fans accusing the TikTok star of making sweeping generalisations in the aftermath of heartbreak. Others, however, defended his right to personal preference, noting that the comments appeared rooted in his recent emotional experience.
During the livestream, Peller also addressed the ongoing ridicule surrounding his breakup with Jarvis. He warned followers to stop mocking him over the failed relationship, stating clearly that anyone who continued would be blocked from his page. He reiterated that his relationship with Jarvis has ended and that the two now share nothing beyond a platonic connection.
The breakup between the two Nigerian content creators had previously generated intense attention on social media, with fans closely monitoring their interactions and fallout. Peller’s latest comments have now reignited public debate, placing him once again at the centre of online conversations about love, culture, and personal choices in the age of social media fame.
As reactions continue to pour in, it remains to be seen whether Peller’s bold declaration is a moment of raw emotion or the beginning of a life-changing decision. For now, one thing is certain: the TikTok star has made it clear that he is moving on and looking far beyond Nigeria to do so.
