Nigerian skit-maker and singer Carter Efe has ignited a social media firestorm following the release of a viral video in which he openly disrespected Afrobeats icon Wizkid while praising his rival, Davido. The clip, which has circulated rapidly across Twitter and Instagram, captures a tense moment between the entertainer and his management.
The Viral Outburst
In the footage, Carter Efe is seen reacting strongly when a Wizkid song begins playing in the background. Visibly irritated, he immediately ordered his manager to turn off the music, using pointed language to diminish Wizkid’s role in his professional journey.
“Remove that song. No be Wizkid carry us reach where we dey, na Davido. You dey mad? You dey play Wizkid?” Carter Efe shouted.
The remark is particularly significant given that Carter Efe originally rose to musical prominence with his hit single “Machala,” a song dedicated entirely to his then-idolatry of Wizkid.
A Shift in Allegiance
While Carter Efe has spent the better part of his career identifying as a staunch member of “Wizkid FC,” his recent actions suggest a complete pivot toward the Davido camp. He has frequently expressed admiration for Davido’s “30BG” lifestyle and the superstar’s legendary generosity, often crediting Davido’s influence for his continued relevance in the industry.
Social Media Explosion
The clip has effectively thrown Carter Efe into the center of the perennial “Wizkid vs. Davido” debate, resulting in a polarized reaction from fans:
- Davido Supporters: Many fans of the “Unavailable” singer have applauded Carter Efe for his honesty, arguing that he is simply “giving credit where it is due” regarding Davido’s impact on upcoming artists.
- Wizkid Fans: Members of Wizkid FC have labeled the skit-maker “disrespectful” and “ungrateful,” citing his previous use of Wizkid’s brand to launch his music career as the reason for their backlash.
Cultural Context
Industry watchers suggest that this outburst is emblematic of the increasingly competitive nature of the Afrobeats landscape in 2026. As artists and influencers feel pressured to pick sides in the “Big 3” rivalry, public declarations of loyalty—often at the expense of other legends—have become a common, albeit controversial, tactic for staying in the spotlight.
As of now, neither Wizkid nor Davido has officially commented on the video, but the heated arguments and memes continue to dominate Nigerian digital spaces.
