Popular Nigerian skit maker and content creator Carter Efe has stirred significant conversation online after sharing heartfelt appreciation for Afrobeats superstar Davido while simultaneously expressing disappointment with fellow music icon Wizkid. The emotional revelations came during a recent livestream where Carter Efe reflected on pivotal moments in his entertainment career.
Davido's Game-Changing Support
During the candid livestream session, Carter Efe became visibly emotional while recounting how Davido's surprise appearance on his Twitch channel last year transformed his professional trajectory. According to the content creator, Davido's participation in the livestream provided unprecedented visibility and helped elevate his brand to new heights.
The historic livestream went on to break records as the highest-viewed Twitch stream in Africa at that time, creating a watershed moment for Carter Efe's career. Speaking with genuine gratitude, the entertainer described Davido as a "legend and a real supporter" who didn't hesitate to show love when it mattered most.
Wizkid's Perceived Snub
In stark contrast to his praise for Davido, Carter Efe expressed deep disappointment regarding his interactions with Wizkid. The skit maker revealed that despite dedicating his hit song "Machala" to the Essence hitmaker, Wizkid never acknowledged the gesture or responded to his overtures.
Carter Efe found it particularly painful that Wizkid had time to engage with musician Seun Kuti online but couldn't extend similar courtesy to him. In his own words during the livestream: "Wizkid no reply me wey drop number one song, Machala, na there him muzz me. Omo, Davido will live long."
Online Reactions and Controversy
The comments have sparked widespread debate across social media platforms, with fans and netizens divided in their responses. Some users criticized Carter Efe for continuously mentioning Wizkid, suggesting he should focus on his own career development instead.
One social media user commented: "Carter Efe should learn to focus on his career and allow Wizkid to be. You've used Wizkid's name to gain social media relevance as a musician and content creator."
Others defended the skit maker's right to express his feelings, while some suggested the situation reflects broader dynamics within the Nigerian entertainment industry regarding artist support and acknowledgment.
Previous Controversies and Context
This isn't the first time Carter Efe has been involved in public discussions about Wizkid. Legit.ng previously reported that the content creator responded to socialite Tunde Perry's claims that he would never have the opportunity to meet the Afrobeats star.
During that exchange, Carter Efe questioned why meeting any particular artist should be seen as a measure of relevance or success, pointing to his positive experience with Davido as evidence that genuine support matters more than proximity to celebrities.
The skit maker emphasized that his interaction with Davido opened doors to new opportunities, business deals, and financial support, noting increased professional interest following their collaboration.
Industry Perspectives
Financial commentator GehGeh previously weighed in on the situation, criticizing Wizkid for ignoring Carter Efe's viral tribute song while praising Davido for supporting emerging talents. GehGeh emphasized that helping others doesn't diminish one's own success, highlighting what he perceived as different approaches to mentorship within the Afrobeats community.
The ongoing discussion touches on broader themes of celebrity responsibility, artist-fan relationships, and the dynamics of support within Nigeria's competitive entertainment landscape. As the conversation continues to evolve online, it reflects the complex interplay between established stars and rising creators in the digital age.
