Peller Blasts Ayra Starr After Livestream With Jarvis, Then Backtracks as Drama Explodes Online

What started as a lighthearted interaction quickly took an unexpected turn during Jarvis’ livestream when Ayra Starr posed a question that shifted the mood. In the middle of the exchange, she mentioned that she did not know Peller and Jarvis were dating, which appeared to catch Peller off guard.

Almost immediately, Peller jumped in, seemingly trying to assert his place in Jarvis’ life. He began reminding viewers of the things he had done for her, referencing expensive gifts and gestures, including reportedly gifting her a Mercedes-Benz GLE and sponsoring vacations for her birthday. What may have been intended as a clarification quickly came across to many as defensive.

The situation escalated further after the livestream ended. Peller later took to social media with a heated rant video in which he expressed frustration about the moment. In the clip, he appeared visibly upset, questioning whether Ayra Starr had overlooked his efforts and support in Jarvis’ life. His tone, which many described as emotional and confrontational, quickly drew attention and criticism online.

As clips from both the livestream and his rant circulated, Nigerians began picking sides. While some sympathised with Peller, arguing that he may have felt disrespected or undermined, others criticised him for bringing material gifts into the conversation and for reacting too strongly to what seemed like an innocent comment.

The drama took another turn when Ayra Starr appeared to respond indirectly. In a separate video, she included the caption, “No be by who buy benz. Na by who get sense,” a statement that many fans interpreted as subtle shade directed at Peller. The line quickly went viral, with users quoting and remixing it across platforms.

This response further divided opinions online. Supporters of Ayra Starr praised her for addressing the situation without direct confrontation, while others sided with Peller, citing his generosity and arguing that his reaction, though intense, stemmed from feeling unappreciated. At the same time, a section of social media users turned the situation into humour, teasing Peller and labelling him the “dodoyo” in the relationship dynamic (a slang often used to describe someone perceived as overly invested or taken for granted).

As the backlash grew, Peller eventually appeared to soften his stance, walking back some of his earlier comments and attempting to calm the situation. However, by then, the moment had already taken on a life of its own online, with debates continuing across X, TikTok, and Instagram.
