Popular Nigerian streamer and singer Carter Efe has sparked reactions online after kneeling to pray for some of Nigeria’s biggest music stars, including Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, Olamide and Asake, during a recent livestreaming session on Twitch.
The streamer, who was broadcasting live, turned his session into a prayer moment after listening to a song by controversial singer Kokopee, whose music appeared to leave him unimpressed.
Carter Efe, who initially played the song to listen to its lyrics and delivery, openly expressed his displeasure, questioning the singer’s musical direction and the quality of the production.
He also made several remarks about Kokopee’s association with social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM), questioning his influence in the music industry and the number of monthly listeners he attracts on streaming platforms.
In a series of comments that caught the attention of viewers, Carter Efe described the song as unpleasant to his ears and suggested that the singer should reconsider his approach to music rather than waste producers’ time in the studio.
He also made reference to Kokopee’s reported request for palm wine and ogogoro during a studio session, using the remark to further criticise his musical choices.
Carter Efe said:
“Na God go take your life with that song if you calm down really sing this song. Kokopee, na God go take your life as you dey for studio, na God go take your life as you calm down waste producer time, now you said make them give you palmwine and Ogogoro. You dey craze, no wonder Burna Boy no gree shake your hand.”
The streamer continued by questioning Kokopee’s popularity and his claims about VDM’s influence.
He said: “See that kind of thing wetin dey your mind, oldest incoming, idiot. Na God go punish you. You dey claim VDM is the most influential person and you get 43,000 monthly listeners at your old age.
“Your song never enter chat once, the only thing wey enter chat na only NGO, idiot. Make I listen whether na my ear they pain me, make e no be like say na me dey hate on the person.”
However, what particularly caught viewers’ attention was what happened after Carter Efe finished listening to the song.
The streamer suddenly went on his knees and began praying for Nigeria’s leading musicians, asking God to preserve their lives so they could continue entertaining music lovers with their songs.
During the emotional prayer, Carter Efe repeatedly mentioned Asake, Davido, Burna Boy, Wizkid and Olamide, asking God to grant them long lives and ensure that good things continued to happen in their careers.
He also expressed gratitude to God for the lives of the singers, particularly Asake, before appealing for their continued success and longevity in the entertainment industry.
Carter Efe prayed: “God, God abeg, God abeg, God abeg, make Asake no die, make Davido no die, make Burna Boy no die, make Wizkid no die. I beg, I beg, God, I beg, make good things continue to happen for their lives.
“Make Asake old, make Davido old, make Olamide old, make the whole better better artiste old. God, I beg, God I beg, God I beg, God, I beg. Wetin dey sup, wetin dey sup, which kind of wahala be this?”
He further expressed gratitude for Asake’s birth, repeatedly saying, “Thank God they give birth to Asake oh.”
Immediately after the prayer, Carter Efe played Asake’s hit song ‘Gratitude’, apparently using the opportunity to appreciate the singer’s music.
The livestream has since attracted attention online, with Carter Efe’s dramatic reaction, criticism of Kokopee’s song and emotional prayer for Nigeria’s top musicians generating conversations among music lovers.
