Why I have a problem with Wizkid – Carter Efe

Nigerian content creator and singer Carter Efe has opened up on why he has a problem with Afrobeats superstar Wizkid, despite describing himself as a long‑time fan. In a recent livestream, Carter Efe said: “I love Wizkid, but I have an issue with his personality. I showed him love, and he didn’t return it.” He recalled how he heavily promoted Wizkid in the past, including releasing the tribute song “Machala,” but claims he never received the acknowledgement or support he expected from the singer. According to him, this perceived snub and a series of online misunderstandings gradually turned admiration into frustration. The tension escalated recently when Carter Efe, during a live session, accidentally referred to Wizkid with an insult, sparking outrage among the star’s fan base. The backlash was so intense that the skit maker reportedly lost his Instagram account […]

African music entering a ‘correction phase’, not decline – Tiwa Savage

Afrobeats star Tiwa Savage has said African music is not in decline but is instead entering a “correction” or “maturation” phase following several years of explosive global growth. Speaking as a keynote voice at a recent creative conference, she noted that after the initial Afrobeats boom, the industry is now naturally adjusting, filtering out hype and rewarding more structured, long‑term work. Savage explained that some people misread the current slowdown in viral hits or international chart dominance as a slump, when it is actually a normal cycle in which markets stabilise and audiences become more selective. In her view, this phase is healthy because it pushes African artists, labels and managers to focus on quality, professionalism and building sustainable brands rather than chasing quick trends. She pointed out that African music has already proven its global appeal, with Afrobeats and […]

Ego, inner competition undermine collaborations in Afrobeats – Joeboy

Afrobeats singer Joeboy has decried the growing impact of ego and inner competition on collaborations among Nigerian artists. He said many artistes now approach joint projects with a mindset of rivalry instead of focusing on making timeless music together. According to him, some colleagues only agree to collaborate when they think they will gain more numbers, clout or validation than the other party. Joeboy noted that this attitude makes it difficult to build sincere, long-term partnerships of the kind that once helped push Afrobeats to global prominence. He explained that behind the scenes, a lot of artistes constantly monitor streams, charts and social media buzz, even while publicly preaching unity and “love” in the industry. This quiet comparison culture, he argued, breeds resentment and silently kills the spirit of true collaboration. Despite these challenges, Joeboy maintained that collaborations remain one […]
