Popular TikTok personality Habeeb Hazmat, widely known as Peller, has sparked a fresh wave of online conversations after disclosing the enormous cost of repairing his damaged Mercedes-Benz SUV.
The Costly Revelation from a Live Session
After a hiatus from social media following a car accident in Lagos, Peller returned with a live session on Thursday, January 1, 2026. During the broadcast, the internet sensation made a startling revelation about the financial implications of the crash. He stated that mechanics had quoted him a whopping N11 million to fix his luxury vehicle, which is reportedly valued at over N100 million.
The accident, which occurred weeks prior, had reportedly landed Peller in the hospital and was linked by some to his rumoured breakup with fellow content creator Jarvis 'Jadrolita'. His return to TikTok was marked by this candid disclosure about the state of his car.
Mixed Reactions and Fan Advice Flood Social Media
The video clip from the live session, where Peller is seen discussing the repair bill and even asking another user if they wanted to assist him financially, quickly went viral. It elicited a flood of reactions from Nigerians online, with opinions sharply divided.
Many commentators were skeptical of the huge repair estimate. A common thread in the reactions was advice for Peller to sell the vehicle rather than sink millions into fixing it. Comments like "Make he sell am" and suggestions to give the car to "iron condemn" or "aluminium condemn" reflected this sentiment.
Others offered more technical perspectives. One user, Victor Chinonso, pointed out the specific model differences, noting that Peller's car is a GLE350, 2020/2021 model, justifying a potentially higher cost. Another, barpasiano, shared a personal anecdote, advising that after a major accident, a Mercedes "never remain the same" and recommending a sale based on their own experience.
Context and Denials
The accident and its aftermath have kept Peller in the spotlight. In related news, Jarvis 'Jadrolita' has publicly denied allegations that she cheated on Peller, which some had speculated led to the accident. During her own live session, she defended the integrity of their past relationship.
As the story develops, the focus remains on the staggering N11 million repair quote and the public's divided response. While some see it as a genuine predicament, others view it with suspicion, questioning the motive behind the public revelation of such a high cost.
