“You Buy Jarvis a Duvet but Can’t Send Your Mum 10M?” — Carter Efe Tears Into Peller Over Viral Rant

In a fiery moment that lit up the entertainment space this weekend, popular Nigerian skit maker Carter Efe didn’t hold back as he publicly lambasted streamer Peller for lamenting about the pressures of being a breadwinner, particularly when it comes to sending money to his own mother.

The drama unfolded during a live stream on June 8, where Carter Efe took a direct shot at Peller’s now-viral complaints from last month. Peller had previously opened up about the emotional and financial strain of constantly being relied upon to provide for his family. His statement, while seemingly heartfelt, drew significant backlash online, with many accusing him of selfishness and misplaced priorities. Now, Carter Efe has taken that criticism to another level — and the internet is eating it up.

“You know how much I don dey send my mama since I blow?” Carter Efe questioned rhetorically, in a heated stream that quickly went viral across social media platforms. “You buy things for Jarvis but complain about sending your mum money. You’ve not even sent her up to 10 million.”

This wasn’t a subtle jab. Carter Efe’s takedown was loud, unfiltered, and deeply personal. In his scathing remarks, the comedian drew a stark contrast between himself and Peller, declaring that he shoulders the responsibility of not just being a son, but a father and a husband — and does so proudly, without whining.

“I’m 23 and I hustle for my mum, my wife, and my child,” Carter Efe proclaimed. “You dey form big boy, dey buy duvet for Jarvis, but your own mama never see that kind love.”

The reference to Jarvis — Peller’s alleged girlfriend — seemed to ignite further debate. Carter Efe mocked the streamer for showering his romantic partner with expensive gifts while begrudging his own mother basic financial support. For Carter, this was not just a matter of personal values; it was about setting priorities straight.

Reactions from netizens came in waves, flooding comment sections and sparking trending hashtags. Some applauded Carter Efe’s blunt honesty, while others criticized the skit maker for what they saw as an unnecessarily personal attack.

@SweetBillions wrote, “Peller na money miss road,” echoing the sentiment that the streamer might have his financial compass pointed in the wrong direction.

@pridecrib added a softer tone, suggesting, “He still a child bro, don’t let him get upset 😭” — perhaps implying that Peller’s behavior might stem from immaturity more than malice.

Still, others questioned Carter Efe’s motives, suggesting envy might be lurking behind the passionate critique.

“You know Wetin e dey do for him Mama?” asked @FolajeuwoNelson. “Na everything you think e go post online? I dey smell envy for Wetin Carter dey talk, why uno take another person life personal like that?”

Despite the backlash and support trading places like market-day banter, the underlying conversation struck a cultural nerve. In Nigeria and much of Africa, family loyalty — particularly to one’s mother — is not just expected; it is revered. To many, a son’s financial support to his mother is a sacred duty. Carter Efe’s explosive take plays directly into this value system, positioning Peller’s complaints as a betrayal of deep-rooted cultural norms.

And for Carter, this isn't about clout. At least, not entirely. It's about principle — the unspoken but universally understood code of filial responsibility. For someone as young as Carter Efe, who claims to already bear the weight of multiple familial roles, Peller’s complaints seem not only juvenile but dishonorable.

“You dey vex say you dey send money go house, but na you dey ball with babes. That’s shameful,” Carter added during his stream, with visible frustration.

But some users pointed out a possible gray area. @justkency chimed in with, “Someone should correct me if I am wrong. I thought the lingo ‘New Taker’ means fraudster.” Whether this was a dig at Carter, Peller, or the culture of fast money in general, it added another layer to the discussion — the societal pressure to "make it" and support others, sometimes by any means necessary.

The debate continues to rage online, fueled by passionate opinions on both sides. Is Peller being unfairly targeted for expressing vulnerability, or is Carter Efe simply voicing what many are afraid to say out loud?

One thing is certain — Carter’s comments weren’t made in a vacuum. They tapped into a wider generational conversation around entitlement, responsibility, and public perception. For a generation raised on social media and daily hustle culture, being labeled as someone who neglects their roots — especially one’s mother — is perhaps one of the most damaging reputations a public figure can endure.

Neither Peller nor Jarvis has issued a public response to Carter Efe’s remarks at the time of writing. But given the intensity of the situation, and the internet’s insatiable appetite for celebrity clashes, it’s only a matter of time before this saga gets another chapter.

Until then, the streets are watching — and judging.
