Foremost Nigerian content creator Habeeb Hamzat, better known as Peller has responded to criticism after gifting his girlfriend, Jarvis, a luxury AMG car for her birthday while buying a cheap car for his mother.
The TikToker surprised his girlfriend over the weekend with a new Mercedes-Benz AMG after they reunited following a breakup.
Peller explained that buying a car for one’s mother is often seen as an obligation, whereas gifting a girlfriend a car is viewed as a stronger display of wealth and generosity.
During a live stream, he revealed that his mother had initially requested a Toyota valued at about ₦9 million due to lower maintenance costs, but he opted for a Hyundai reportedly worth ₦20 million instead.
