In a dramatic turn of events, Nigerian content creator and singer Carter Efe has issued a public apology to Afrobeats legend Wizkid and his powerful fanbase, known as Wizkid FC. The apology, captured in a viral video on Monday, February 23, 2026, follows a wave of intense backlash over his recent disparaging remarks about the “Essence” star.
The Apology: Kneeling for Forgiveness
The video shows a visibly humbled Carter Efe kneeling as he pleaded for a reprieve from the relentless “dragging” by Wizkid’s supporters. Addressing both the singer and the fanbase directly, he used a mix of emotional pleas and solemn vows to prove his sincerity.
“Abeg, Abeg, Abeg, na God I take use beg,” he said in the clip. “I dey beg Wizkid, Wizkid FC abeg make them forgive me… say I no go ever insult Wizkid again.”
The Ultimate Vow
Taking the apology to an extreme level, Carter Efe made a life-or-death oath to reassure the public that he would never return to his previous stance.
“Make them forgive me, if I insult Wizkid again make I die young. I swear to God, make una forgive me,” he vowed.
Context: The “Machala” U-Turn
This apology comes less than a week after Carter Efe sparked outrage by ordering a Wizkid song to be turned off during a session with his management. In that previous video, he had claimed that Wizkid contributed nothing to his success, stating, “No be Wizkid carry us reach where we dey, na Davido.”
The irony of the situation was not lost on industry observers, as Carter Efe’s music career was essentially launched by the 2022 hit “Machala,” a track dedicated entirely to his idolization of Wizkid.
Social Media Reaction
The apology has triggered a fresh wave of debate across Nigerian digital spaces:
- The Skeptics: Some members of Wizkid FC have dismissed the apology as a “clout-chasing” move or a tactic to stop the reporting of his accounts.
- The Forgiving: Others have argued that his willingness to kneel and swear an oath shows genuine remorse or, at the very least, a realization of the “Big 3” power dynamics.
- The “30BG” Angle: Fans of Davido are closely watching to see how this affects Carter’s recently declared loyalty to the DMW boss.
Current Status
As of now, Wizkid has not acknowledged the apology. Carter Efe’s accounts remain active, but the creator appears to be treading carefully as he attempts to navigate the fallout of his recent “allegiance wars.”
