Over the past few years, one of the loudest conversations online has been the supposed tension between comedian–turned–artist Carter Efe and global Afrobeats superstar Wizkid. Many rumors have been pushed by blogs, influencers, and even fan pages, leaving people confused and searching for the real truth.
So as your guy here on Taculia Entertainment, let me settle this matter once and for all in a very simple and human way.
What Really Happened Between Carter Efe and Wizkid?
The honest truth is this: nothing personal happened between Carter Efe and Wizkid. The tension that fans keep talking about came mainly from fan reactions, assumptions, online banter, and the heated climate surrounding Wizkid FC. Carter Efe never disrespected Wizkid, Wizkid never dragged Carter Efe, and the two never had any direct fight offline.
Let me explain this clearly so you will understand it once and for all.
Where the Whole Story Started
Everything began when Carter Efe released his viral song “Machala” — a track created to praise Wizkid and his influence in the music industry. The song blew up instantly, topping charts, dominating TikTok, and opening even more doors for Carter Efe as a creator and a rising musician.
But along this journey, three issues made fans begin to speculate:
- The song blew up bigger than expected, and some people felt Carter Efe was “using Wizkid’s name.”
- The internal disagreement between Carter Efe and Berri Tiga made people assume Wizkid was involved.
- Wizkid never publicly endorsed the song, making fans feel something was wrong.
But as I will show you, none of these assumptions prove that Wizkid and Carter Efe had real beef.
The “Machala” Drama Explained
If you followed the whole story from day one, you would remember that “Machala” was created by Carter Efe as a tribute. It wasn’t a diss, it wasn’t clout chasing… it was simply a creator showing love to an artist he respects.
The real drama came from another angle entirely — the copyright issue between Carter Efe and singer Berri Tiga. Their disagreement over who owned what percentage of the song created a lot of noise on social media. Unfortunately, some fans twisted the story and assumed:
“If Wizkid is quiet, then it means he and Carter Efe are not cool.”
But silence is not beef. Wizkid is known for minding his business and staying away from drama. So his silence was not a message against Carter Efe.
Did Carter Efe Attack Wizkid at Any Point?
No, he did not.
In fact, Carter Efe has always been one of the most loyal Wizkid supporters on the internet. Even after the copyright issue, he continued to praise Wizkid publicly, attend his shows, and express love for him online.
Someone who is genuinely against Wizkid would not do that.
So why do fans keep pushing another narrative? It comes from how big the Wizkid FC fanbase is. The moment anything involves Wizkid’s name, narratives begin to fly — even if the story is totally harmless.
Did Wizkid Shade Carter Efe?
No, Wizkid never shaded or attacked Carter Efe. There is no interview, tweet, IG story, or public statement where Wizkid said anything negative about him.
The only thing people used to create confusion was the fact that Wizkid:
- didn’t show up for the “Machala” video
- didn’t promote or repost the song
- didn’t comment on the copyright drama
But anyone who follows Wizkid closely knows he barely reacts to anything, even when his name is involved. He doesn’t do unnecessary explanations. That’s his personality.
Why Fans Thought It Was Beef
Social media loves drama. So anytime a content creator or musician mentions a big artist’s name, people automatically assume they want attention or clout.
Then when disagreements unrelated to the artist show up — like Carter Efe and Berri Tiga — some fans quickly drag Wizkid’s name into the matter even when he is not involved.
In short, fans created a fight that doesn’t exist.
Has Carter Efe Addressed the Beef Rumour?
Yes, he has. Carter Efe has repeatedly said:
“I love Wizkid. I will continue to love Wizkid.”
He also stated clearly that Wizkid inspired him and was one of the key reasons he started making music at all.
Someone who speaks like this cannot be in a fight with the same person.
Did Carter Efe Ever Meet Wizkid?
Yes, Carter Efe met Wizkid physically, and the atmosphere was very peaceful and friendly. They took pictures, exchanged greetings, and nothing about that meeting suggested tension.
So if there was real beef, that moment would have shown signs — but it didn’t.
Did Wizkid Approve “Machala”? The Honest Truth
The truth is: Wizkid never publicly approved the song, but he never rejected it either.
Approvals don’t always come in the form of a post or a tweet. Sometimes silence is simply neutrality, not rejection. And Carter Efe himself understood this clearly.
As long as Wizkid did not shut the song down, the relationship remains peaceful.
The Real Reason Carter Efe and Wizkid Fans Clash
The clash is fan-made. Wizkid FC is a very defensive fanbase, and anytime Carter Efe says something about Wizkid — even if it is praise — some fans twist it and make it look controversial.
This happens because:
- fanbases are emotional
- people love drama
- blogs exaggerate stories for clicks
But deep down, there is no personal problem between both entertainers.
Where Carter Efe Stands Today
Today, Carter Efe is one of the biggest creator–musicians in Nigeria, running his own hit songs and comedy brand. He still shows love to Wizkid, and he never drags him online or offline.
The man is simply focused on his craft, not beef.
Where Wizkid Stands Today
As expected, Wizkid is still doing his thing, minding his business, touring the world, and dropping global hits. Wizkid is not known for petty beefs, so it makes no sense to attach him to one here.
Final Answer: Did Carter Efe and Wizkid Fight?
No. There was no fight, no dragging, no beef, no shade — nothing.
The whole story began from overhyped social media narratives and fan assumptions. When you look at the actual facts, it becomes clear that both entertainers have never had a real issue.
Carter Efe still respects Wizkid deeply. Wizkid has no problem with Carter Efe. Everything else is noise.
