"Please let us all take it easy with Peller. He has been arrested and he is currently at the police station. We know what he did was bad and we have corrected him. Please, he needs our support and encouragement now. Let us forgive him," Perry stated.
Peller, a friend of Shatta Wale who visited Ghana in October to join in the musician's birthday celebration, has been in a widely publicised love relationship with fellow social TikToker Jarvis.
The duo have had many challenges in their relationship, including one in July when Peller threatened to end their lives should Jarvis ever try to ditch him.
A few days ago, reports surfaced that Jarvis had ended the relationship with Peller, a situation she later confirmed online.

In footage that has since gone viral on social media, the content creator can be heard speaking in evident distress moments before the crash, thanking his followers and expressing thoughts of ending his life.
Following the crash, Peller was rushed to a hospital for medical treatment.
