Nigerian streamer and comedian Carter Efe has turned up the heat on Afrobeats superstar Wizkid, claiming credit for boosting the singer's profile and daring him to settle their differences inside a boxing ring.

Speaking during an interview on Yanga FM, Carter Efe made a bold case for what he believes his 2022 viral hit 'Machala' did for Wizkid's brand. He insisted the song reached number one and earned him significant money, arguing that both he and the singer benefited from its success.

"Me and Wizkid share glory, I drop Machala, the song enter number 1, even though say na me make money why he no fit acknowledge me?" he said.

Carter Efe's boxing challenge to Wizkid

Carter Efe went further, challenging Wizkid to a free boxing bout and insisting he wants nothing from the arrangement financially. In a surprising twist, he suggested organisers could pay Wizkid $1 million just to show up to the fight, while he himself would compete without a single kobo.

"Make them no even pay any money, I swear to God, make them pay Wizkid 1 million dollars, make them con say Oya go and follow Carter Efe, make them no give me single kobo," he said.

He also expressed confidence about the outcome. He then issued a direct call:

"Make them carry Wizkid come chaos in the ring make we fight."

Wizkid's silence sparked the beef

At the heart of Carter Efe's frustration is what he describes as a lack of acknowledgement from Wizkid after 'Machala' went viral. According to him, once the singer chose not to recognise his role in the song's success, he decided to return the same energy.
