“I am sorry for everything I do. I allowed my emotions to get the better of me; that’s why I behave that way. You can abuse me, I didn’t behave that way intentionally, please, forgive me.”
The TikTok celebrity further pleaded with Nigerians to desist from bullying his supposed girlfriend, Jarvis, saying she knows nothing about his actions.

Following Peller’s car crash, Jarvis reportedly faced backlash and cyberbullying, prompting her to visit Peller’s mother, where she claimed to discuss his well-being and the end of their relationship.
“Please, don’t bully Jarvis, it’s not on her. It does not concern her; it’s on me. I am really sorry,” Peller added.
