I Promoted Him With My Mumu Waist
–Carter Efe Shades Wizkid Over N20m Gift
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.
SerialDaBoss Drops Single On Valentine’s Day
United States–based Nigerian Afropop artiste, SerialDaBoss serenaded the airwaves this Valentine’s Day with the release of his new single, ‘Body of Work.’
Produced independently, the song arrives with infectious rhythms built for clubs, parties and repeat listens.
While ‘Body of Work’ may initially sound like a smooth ode to feminine allure, the artist insists the record runs much deeper. According to him, the song is both personal and symbolic, a reflection of his journey, growth and long-term vision as an artist.
“Body of Work is more than what it first appears to be.
On the surface, people may think it’s a story about a woman but that’s only the entry point. Beneath that layer, it’s a reflection of my craft, my journey and my purpose. It represents beauty, passion, discipline and the legacy I’m intentionally building,” he explains.
For SerialDaBoss, the title is literal. The song stands as evidence of years of preparation, resilience and belief, especially as an independent artist navigating life and music outside Nigeria. He acknowledges the exposure that comes with being abroad but remains clear-eyed about where Afrobeats truly thrives.
“There’s respect that comes with being overseas but Afrobeats live at home,” he says. “The culture, the energy, the movement, it all starts from the source. Real impact begins when you reconnect with where the sound was born.”
Born Ifeanyi Victor Afam on June 30, 1998 in Lagos, Nigeria, SerialDaBoss represents a new wave of Nigerian artists balancing global exposure with deep cultural roots.
A graduate of Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, he has steadily honed his craft, driven by a deliberate commitment to learning the business and artistry of music.
SerialDaBoss names global heavyweights such as Rick Ross, Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Omah Lay, and Olamide as creative forces he admires, artists whose reach and excellence align with the space he envisions for himself.
