There’s a strange quiet that follows a public breakup, especially when the breakup itself played out in front of hundreds of thousands of eyes.For habeeb Hamzat — the TikToker most people call Peller — that quiet has turned into a vow: he says he won’t fall in love again. Ever. At least, that’s the line he delivered during a recent livestream with fellow creator Kolu, and it landed heavily — because this isn’t just another social media flex. It’s tied to something darker, something that shook him and the people who watch him.
A promise born from pain
You can tell this is not a casual comment. Peller said, bluntly, “I won’t fall in love ever again. God will not allow me to embarrass myself ever again.” It’s short, sharp, a one-liner that tries to shut the door for good. But the weight behind it comes from events that are still hard to digest. Back in December, Peller was in a very public crisis: he deliberately crashed his car in what was described as an attempt to end his life. The context was heartbreak — pressures and threats tied to the breakup with his longtime girlfriend, Jarvis, who is also a content creator. They split weeks after that incident, and since then Peller has been vocal, sometimes raw, about how he feels.

I don’t know about you, but there’s something oddly familiar in this pattern. People make absolute claims when they’re wounded. I’ve seen it, you probably have too: after something really bad, it feels safer to draw a hard line — to say never, to swear off whatever hurt you. It’s a kind of emotional armor, maybe. And sure, that armor helps in the short term. But whether it holds up? That’s another question.
Public pain, private consequences
Here’s what complicates things: Peller’s struggles weren’t just private. They played out where people could watch, comment, and weigh in. That changes the calculus. A breakup between two private people is painful enough. A breakup between two creators — with livestreams, reactions, clips, and headlines — turns pain into content. The audience becomes both witness and jury, and that can make healing messier.
