Nigerian streamer Carter Efe says his viral track “Machala” helped boost Wizkid’s career and then challenges the singer to a free boxing match. He makes the remarks during an interview with Yanga FM, where he argues that his song played a role in Wizkid’s rise.

Carter Efe also says he would not ask Wizkid for payment to fight, adding that Wizkid could be compensated instead. The outlets report the exchange as part of a public, media-facing challenge rather than a formally arranged sporting event, with no details provided on schedules, venues, or agreed rules.

Both sources present the same core claims: Carter Efe credits “Machala” with influencing Wizkid’s career trajectory and issues the boxing invitation in the context of a radio interview. Differences, where present, relate mainly to how the challenge is described, including references to potential payment, rather than any disagreement about what Carter Efe said or that Wizkid was the target of the challenge.
