Media personality Daniel Regha has stirred conversation online following a blunt remark he made during an interview with social media influencer Jarvis, amid reports of her breakup with fellow content creator, Peller.
Speaking during the interview, which focused on the circumstances surrounding the breakup, Regha openly criticised both Jarvis and Peller for what he described as their failure to use their social media platforms meaningfully. “I’ve never seen you and Peller use your platform for something reasonable,” Regha said, a comment that immediately shifted the tone of the discussion.
The statement appeared to catch Jarvis off guard, as the interview had largely centred on personal challenges and emotional strain linked to the end of the relationship. Regha’s remark, however, reframed the conversation, drawing attention to the broader influence of digital creators and the responsibilities that come with large online followings.
While Jarvis did not directly counter the criticism, she acknowledged that the breakup had prompted self-reflection, including how she engages with her audience. Clips from the interview have since circulated widely on social media, generating mixed reactions from viewers.
Some users praised Regha for what they described as a “hard truth,” arguing that influencers should leverage their reach to promote positive causes or meaningful conversations. Others, however, accused him of being unnecessarily harsh and insensitive, especially given the emotional context of the interview.
The exchange has reignited debates about influencer culture in Nigeria, particularly questions around accountability, content value, and the impact of online platforms beyond entertainment.
The interview continues to trend across social media platforms, underscoring how personal moments involving public figures often evolve into wider public discourse in the digital age.
