- GehGeh has criticized Afrobeats star Wizkid for allegedly failing to acknowledge comedian and musician Carter Efe after the release of the 2022 tribute hit Machala.
- GehGeh described Wizkid’s silence as greed rather than humility, arguing that Carter Efe deserved recognition for creating one of the most impactful fan-tribute songs in Afrobeats.
Content creator GehGeh has sparked a heated debate online after calling out Afrobeats superstar Wizkid for failing to acknowledge Carter Efe.
The criticism stems from the 2022 hit song “Machala,” which was created as a tribute to the singer but received no public recognition from him.
GehGeh didn’t hold back, labeling Wizkid’s silence as a sign of selfishness rather than a reserved personality. “Carterefe dropped one of the biggest fanbase songs in the history of Afrobeats, yet Wizkid didn’t acknowledge him. That is not pride and it’s greed, he didn’t want to share his platform and glory with anybody,” he stated.
The creator further reminded Wizkid of his own beginnings, pointing out that his global success was made possible by the support of his former boss, Banky W. He noted, “If Banky W had not shared his platform with Wizkid, Wizkid might not be where he is today.”
