Peller Defends Buying Girlfriend ₦130 Million Car Over Mother’s ₦20 Million Gift Amid Backlash

Popular Nigerian businessman and influencer, Peller, has defended his decision to buy his girlfriend a ₦130 million car while gifting his mother a ₦20 million car, addressing criticism from social media users. Peller's comments, made in a recent interview, have sparked a wave of reactions online, with many questioning his priorities in spending on loved ones.

Peller, who has often been in the spotlight for his lavish lifestyle, faced criticism after he revealed that he bought his girlfriend, Jarvis, a luxury car worth ₦130 million, while his mother received a ₦20 million Hyundai instead of the ₦9 million Toyota she had requested. 

Defending his actions, Peller emphasized that his decision was motivated by love and the desire to show appreciation for his girlfriend, not to seek validation from others.

In a candid response to the backlash, Peller stated, "Buying your girlfriend a car is the best way to show people that you're rich, not buying your mom one." He went on to explain that he believed his girlfriend, Jarvis, deserved the luxury vehicle because of the love and commitment they shared. Peller further added, "I didn’t buy Jarvis a car just so she can stay with me; she deserves it. I don’t care if she leaves me later."

Regarding his mother, Peller admitted that her wish for a Toyota worth ₦9 million was reasonable, but he chose to buy her the more expensive Hyundai as a gesture of care. He explained, "People would still have dragged me even if I’d bought her the ₦9 million Toyota."

The statement has since drawn mixed reactions on social media, with some praising Peller for his generosity and others questioning his priorities. Despite the criticism, Peller remains unapologetic, reaffirming his love for Jarvis and his readiness to go even further if their relationship grows stronger.

"If Jarvis gives me a child, I’ll do even more than this," he concluded.
