In a recent video message shared via his Instagram account, he accused the skit maker of creating a fake social media account in his name to troll Davido.

Young Duu said: “Cater Efe, God will punish you. You are using a Twitter account in my name to troll Davido. He will think I am the one attacking him. It’s unfair. You are fake.”

Popular skit-maker, Carter Efe, has condemned the practice of filming acts of generosity while opening up on how ace rapper, Zlatan Ibile used to quietly help him before he hit stardom.   

He stated that content creators who capture moments of them helping the needy are only monetising suffering.

He said Zlatan at the time gave him money and clothes when he was struggling and nobody knew about it because he did not record a video to announce his kind deed.

The online comedian also revealed that celebrity blogger, Tunde Ednut once gave him N1million and warned him against broadcasting it on social media or telling anybody.

According to Carter Efe, he learnt valuable lessons from those experiences and that is why whenever he wants to help anybody, he does not announce it to the public.

He said: “These content creators who make videos of people they’re helping are just making money off the sufferings of these helpless people. They’re not genuine. When I was nothing, Zlatan used to give me clothes and money. In fact, he gave me everything. He didn’t do a video so the world could see what he was doing.

“Tunde Ednut once gave me 1 million naira and warned me not to tell anybody. These things taught me a lot. This is why when I help anybody, I don’t make noise or say anything about it.”

He went on to say that he kept 60% of the song’s proceeds for himself, saving 30% for Young Duu and 10% for the producer.

“I spent close to N15 million on that project, I got 6o% form the project, gave 30% to young duu then 10% to the producer,” he said. 

Skitmaker and singer, Efe Oderhohwo, popularly known as Carter Efe, shared that since becoming a father, there are certain activities he refrains from.

In an interview with Punch, the comedian said that fatherhood has elevated his craft and led him to cease dancing online while clad only in underwear.

He said: “I do things differently now because I am a dad. There are some things I did before that I don’t do again, such as posting videos of myself online dancing and wearing only boxers. It (fatherhood) has made me upgrade my craft. I also can’t keep doing the same things because people get tired with time.”

He also stated that he had no plans to separate his comedy from music.

He said: “Music is a gift from God to me. When I came out with the ‘states and capital’ song, it went viral beyond my expectations. I know it is a funny song but then, I am a comedian. I usually obey my instincts. And, when I feel like it, I call another artist. Music and comedy are not distinct for me, and I won’t be separating them.”

I was a London tailor, ‘Obioma’, before I ventured into skit making. I love art. For example, I edit my skits by myself. I told my dad one day that I wanted to learn tailoring. He said what of my education and I insisted that I wanted to learn tailoring because I love creativity. I didn’t even spend up to six months before learning how to sew and create beautiful embroidery patterns.

“When I was learning tailoring, sometimes I would lie to my boss that I was sick and go to shoot a skit. Then I will come back in the afternoon. He still punished me. He would tell me to kneel. I would kneel till the end of the day.

“Until one day, Broda Shaggi posted a challenge on Instagram: he said everybody should vibe to a song. Back then I was in Delta State. I said let me just vibe to it and I vibed to the song then I came out first. I won PS5.

“Shaggi said I should come to Lagos to receive my prize. When I collected the PS5, I sold it for about N300,000. Then I decided to stay back in Lagos. I was using the N300,000 for transport fares to go to locations to shoot my skit. I was staying with one of my friends then.”
