GehGeh’s comments focused on Carter Efe’s 2023 viral song Machala, which celebrated Wizkid and gained massive attention across social media platforms.
He stated that the song is the biggest fan-made tribute song in Afrobeat history, stressing that Carter Efe used the track to glorify Wizkid’s brand.
According to GehGeh, Wizkid allegedly failed to publicly acknowledge the effort, which he described as more than pride but an unwillingness to share influence.
“Carter Efe dropped one of the biggest fan songs in Afrobeat history,” GehGeh said.
He argued that celebrities who receive support early in their careers should understand the responsibility that comes with success and influence.
“To whom much is given, much is expected,” GehGeh stated while emphasising the importance of lifting others through opportunities and visibility.

GehGeh compares Wizkid and Davido
While discussing platform sharing, GehGeh compared Wizkid’s approach with Davido’s relationship with Carter Efe.
He praised Davido for supporting the comedian-musician, saying the Afrobeats star played a role in helping Carter Efe gain mainstream recognition.
“This man single-handedly made a star”
He said that Wizkid benefited from early support, noting that Banky W provided him a platform at the start of his career.
GehGeh warned that refusing to support others does not stop destiny, that help can come from another source when one door closes.
“If God wants to use you as a vessel and you refuse, God will surely use another person,” he said in the video.
The financial commentator also spoke about his personal efforts in supporting upcoming content creators across social media platforms.
He revealed that many young creators reached out to him for assistance, including funds and encouragement to keep producing content.
“Most of the boys you see on TikTok doing content, na me buy them phone to support them,” GehGeh stated.

GehGeh earlier criticised Aki and Pawpaw
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that financial analyst GehGeh claimed Nollywood stars Aki and Pawpaw gained fame primarily due to their short height rather than pure comedic talent.
During a session at his GehGeh University of Wisdom and Understanding, he said their physical appearance amplified humour in early films. He noted their recent movies don’t perform as well.
GehGeh attributed it to changes in their looks over time. He said being ugly is an advantage in the entertainment world.
