Nigerian content creator Kolu has voiced deep frustration over his financial situation, pointing fingers at his longtime collaborator, Carter Efe.
“I’m not happy, I don’t have money. Carter Efe is the only one getting money and buying things, but he doesn’t give me money. He doesn’t take me for shows anymore,” Kolu stated in a recent emotional outburst that quickly spread across social media.
The pint-sized entertainer, known for his energetic presence alongside Carter Efe in viral livestreams and skits, claimed he feels sidelined despite their joint success. He alleged that earnings from their content go primarily to Carter, leaving him struggling.
Kolu further declared he would no longer join Carter Efe for livestreams, signaling a potential end to their high-profile partnership. “I no go go live again with him,” he added in the clip circulating widely on Tuesday.
Their rise together has been remarkable. The duo built massive audiences through chaotic, entertaining streams, turning online fame into opportunities. However, cracks have appeared before. Past reports detailed temporary breaks and public explanations from Carter Efe about challenges in managing their dynamic.
Observers note Kolu’s history of bold requests, including directly asking billionaire E-Money for a car during an introduction facilitated by Carter Efe. Such moments painted him as audacious but also highlighted underlying expectations of support.
Fans have reacted mixedly. Some sympathize with Kolu’s plight, suggesting unequal sharing despite shared labor. Others view it as typical industry fallout, where individual branding eventually takes precedence.
This latest episode adds to a string of controversies surrounding the pair. Earlier, Kolu publicly commented on Carter Efe’s personal relationships, including his baby mama drama, even offering to “marry” her. Tensions with figures like Portable also involved Kolu, with accusations of ingratitude after leaving a previous label.
Carter Efe has not publicly responded to the latest claims as of now. The comedian and streamer has previously spoken about the pressures of fame, family responsibilities, and maintaining creative output amid personal and professional demands.
Kolu’s outburst underscores the harsh realities of digital content creation in Nigeria. What begins as a supportive partnership can quickly shift when financial stakes rise and individual ambitions diverge. Many in the industry face similar disputes over revenue splits and visibility.
