Renowned skit maker and singer, Carter Efe, recently dropped a bombshell during an episode of “Spill With Phyna,” shedding light on a controversial incident involving Afrobeat sensation Asake at the prestigious O2 Arena.
According to Carter Efe, Asake faced an unexpected interruption during one of his performances at the O2 Arena when organizers allegedly turned off his generator, signaling an abrupt end to his set. The reason cited was that Asake had exceeded his allocated performance time.
Expressing concern about the treatment of Nigerian artists abroad, Carter Efe emphasized that such incidents reflect a pervasive disrespect toward Nigerian talents, even on international stages. Despite these challenges, he noted that Nigerian artists persist and continue to make their mark.
Adding a personal touch to the conversation, Carter Efe questioned the feasibility of organizing shows in Nigeria, specifically referencing a proposal made by Phyna regarding artists collaborating for events in the country. This revelation has sparked discussions on social media about the challenges faced by Nigerian artists abroad and the need for equitable treatment on the global stage.
