During a livestream, Peller jumped on the roof of the car, leaving a dent. Carter Efe retaliated by smashing Peller’s windscreen with a stone, and Peller responded by breaking the windscreen of the gifted Corolla.
The footage went viral, sparking outrage from Nigerians who condemned the waste of expensive cars that many struggle for years to afford.
However, during a recent livestream, Peller clarified in a call with a close friend that the act was purely for content and not personal animosity.
He stated that the destruction was a strategy to turn attention into rewards, which was later accomplished as E-Money stepped in with a new car and cash support soon after.
"That one na for stream. In real life, me and Carter Efe cannot destroy each other's cars. We use money find money. Na so life be. As we break glass, dem give us brand new car. Na so life be."
The disclosure finally confirmed suspicions that the clash was staged, especially after E-Money forgave both men, gifting Peller a new car and giving Carter Efe 5,000 euros to repair his damaged Corolla.
