According to him, he had seen Burna Boy in person and felt the Afro-fusion star noticed him.
Carter Efe said the situation initially felt positive. Recalling the moment, he told viewers:
“Do you know I saw Burna Boy yesterday? I saw Burna Boy yesterday and he kept staring at me.”

Carter Efe explained that as soon as he tried to approach the singer, Burna Boy’s security team stepped in and bounced him. He went on to explain that the action was not personal but a result of how guarded the singer is in public.
“But his bouncers bounced me when I tried to approach him”. Their security is too tight,” Carter Efe said.
The incident came at a time when Carter Efe’s visibility had continued to grow across skits and livestreaming platforms, placing him in closer proximity to major industry figures and public scrutiny.
Despite understanding the reason, the experience still affected him emotionally.
“Ah God, I felt bad,” he added.
The livestream clip quickly spread online and drew conversations on X. While some fans sympathised with Carter Efe, others felt the situation was normal and unavoidable.

"not disrespecting your hustle but Seeing burnaboy and meeting him are two different things, people can see burnaboy in shows,clubs or while he's driving with his 7G Squad but meeting him baba you need more grace you want to meet African Greatest Giant just because you saw him."
@GodfatherLino opined:
"You openly declared yourself a 30bg instead of staying neutral, that makes you an opps, so dem must bounce you"
