Carter Efe, who is well known for always tagging Wizkid as his “Idolo”, in a recent remark, Carter Efe said, “Wizkid too get pride, na idiot,” a comment that has quickly gone viral and ignited discussions among fans and industry insiders alike.
The remark, which appears to criticise Wizkid’s perceived arrogance or self-confidence, has drawn mixed reactions.
However, some fans defend Wizkid, highlighting his global success and influence, while others sympathise with Carter Efe’s candid expression of frustration.
Recall that a few days ago, Carter Efe, during a live session with singer Khaid, switched allegiance to Davido as he claimed that Wizkid has refused to acknowledge him over the years.
Carter Efe said that he has always been carrying Wizkid on his head and even released a hit song called “Machala” but didn’t post about it. He added that he does not need Wizkid again.
However, Carter Efe gets even angrier during another live session when someone told him that Wizkid just posted his picture on the popular microblogging platform X formerly called Twitter and tagged it “My G”.
Responding, Carter Efe said that it can never happen from Wizkid as he contended that if that happens it means that Lion is pregnant.
He continued that Wizkid is a very proud artist to ever exist and concluded by labelling him as an idiot.
Carter Efe said, “If Machala called me my G, it means something happened or whether Lion get belle (Pregnant), e no fit happen, that boy too get pride, idiot.”
Social media erupted with comments ranging from support to condemnation.
A fan tweeted, “Wizkid is a legend, but humility is key. Maybe Carter Efe has a point about pride.”
Another user responded, “Carter Efe should show more respect. Wizkid has done so much for the Nigerian music industry.”
