Nigerian content creator Carter Efe has sparked fresh conversations online after calling out Afrobeats superstar Wizkid in a viral statement that has divided fans across social media.
The comedian and singer, who previously built part of his music career around publicly supporting Wizkid, alleged that despite years of promoting the singer’s music, he felt overlooked after the artiste reportedly gifted N20 million to another personality known as “God Over.” His comments quickly gained traction, reigniting debates within the fan community and drawing mixed reactions from supporters of both entertainers.

In the circulating post, Carter Efe claimed he had used his platform and personality to promote Wizkid’s brand for years, suggesting that his loyalty had not been reciprocated. The statement appeared emotional and direct, with the entertainer expressing disappointment over what he described as unequal recognition.

While the comedian did not provide detailed context behind the alleged N20 million gift, fans immediately began speculating about the nature of his relationship with the Grammy-winning star and whether the comments were serious criticism or simply a moment of online frustration.
Some social media users sympathised with Carter Efe, noting that he has openly supported Wizkid since the release of his tribute track “Machala,” which brought him significant attention in the Nigerian music scene. Others, however, argued that artists are free to support anyone they choose financially, urging fans not to escalate the situation.

Carter Efe’s association with Wizkid dates back several years, particularly during the success of “Machala,” a song inspired by the singer’s nickname and fan culture. The track cemented Carter Efe’s image as a passionate supporter within Wizkid’s fan base and helped him transition briefly into music beyond comedy content.
Because of that history, many fans were surprised to see him publicly voice disappointment. Some observers believe the comments reflect wider tensions among online creators who rely heavily on celebrity associations for visibility and growth.
At the time of this report, Wizkid has not publicly responded to Carter Efe’s remarks, and there is no confirmed evidence of a direct dispute between the two entertainers beyond the viral statement itself.

The reaction online has been intense, with hashtags related to both personalities trending among Nigerian audiences. While a portion of fans interpreted the comments as harmless venting, others warned that public criticisms could fuel unnecessary fan wars.
Industry watchers say moments like this highlight how closely tied Nigeria’s entertainment culture is to fan loyalty and public perception. With both personalities commanding strong online communities, even a short statement can quickly escalate into a wider industry conversation.
As discussions continue to unfold, many observers are waiting to see whether Carter Efe will clarify his comments or if the situation will fade as another passing social media moment in Nigeria’s fast-moving entertainment space.
