Efe, Davido, and Wizkid
Popular content creator Carter Efe has publicly expressed deep appreciation for Afrobeats superstar Davido, crediting him with transformative support, while taking a subtle swipe at Grammy-winning artist Wizkid for deliberate neglect.
Efe, via a TikTok live session, highlighted Davido’s generosity during a landmark appearance on his Twitch livestream last year.
The December 2025 session, where Davido joined as a guest, shattered records to become one of the most-watched Twitch broadcasts by an African creator, boosting Carter Efe’s visibility and followers significantly.
“Davido is a legend and a real supporter. He came to my livestream and changed the game for me,” Carter Efe stated.
He described the 30BG leader as someone consistently willing to uplift others in the entertainment space.
In contrast, the comedian voiced long-standing frustration toward Wizkid, pointing to his 2022 hit single “Machala”, which paid homage to the Starboy boss and topped charts in Nigeria.
Despite the song’s commercial success, with millions of streams and widespread popularity, Carter Efe claimed Wizkid offered no recognition or response.
“But Wizkid couldn’t even say ‘hi’ to me, even after I made a song for him that went number one,” he lamented. “Yet he had time to reply Seun Kuti. Wizkid no reply me wey drop number one song, ‘Machala’, na their him muzz me. Omo, Davido will live long.” (The Nation)
