In a viral clip resurfacing on social media, popular Nigerian singer and comedian Carter Efe found himself in a heated standoff at the University of Lagos (UNILAG). The incident, which has sparked fresh buzz online, shows a group of individuals, described by some as "egbon adugbo" or cult-affiliated figures, blocking his entry into a building.
Eyewitness accounts in the footage reveal the group questioning Carter Efe about his "Number 1," a phrase often linked to confraternity hierarchies in campus circles. Despite reports that the group had already been "settled" with ₦100,000, tensions escalated into a brief clash. No serious injuries were reported, and the encounter appeared more like an intimidation tactic than a full-scale attack.
The video, originally circulating around early 2022, has been reposted widely in recent days, with captions amplifying the drama to suggest an attempt to "harm" the artist. Carter Efe, known for his bold persona and hits like "Machala," handled the moment with his trademark confidence, refusing to back down easily.
Sources close to the scene indicate this stemmed from typical campus gatekeeping by area figures, common in Nigerian universities where such groups sometimes assert control over access and events. Carter Efe has not issued a direct public statement on the clip, though he has addressed similar street-level run-ins in past interviews, often brushing them off with humor.
The resurgence highlights ongoing discussions about celebrity encounters with campus toughs and the blurred lines between street influence and cult activities in academic settings. For now, it remains a dramatic footnote in Carter Efe's rising career, one that reminds fans just how unpredictable life in the spotlight can be.
