Carter Efe Expresses Skepticism Over Mohbad's Posthumous Headies Win

 

Skit maker and singer Carter Efe (real name Odahohwo Joseph Efe) has publicly shared his reservations regarding the posthumous award bestowed upon the late artist Mohbad at the 2025 Headies Awards. Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Aloba, was honored with the "Best Street-Hop" award at the 17th edition of the prestigious ceremony.

The award presentation was particularly poignant as Mohbad's widow, Wunmi, delivered a moving acceptance speech that drew widespread praise and emotional responses online.

However, Carter Efe's recent social media post has injected a contrasting viewpoint into the narrative. The comedian suggested that the Headies' recognition of Mohbad was contingent on the tragic circumstances of his death. He implied that had the artist still been alive, the award organizers might not have acknowledged his contributions in the same way, suggesting the honor was, in part, a reaction to the public outpouring of grief and attention surrounding Mohbad's passing.

Carter Efe's commentary has ignited a flurry of reactions across various social media platforms. His post, accompanied by an ambiguous caption, has left many users divided in their interpretation. Known for often facing online scrutiny, particularly concerning his admiration for Wizkid, Carter's latest statement has once again stirred mixed sentiments among his followers.

While some online commentators have found a humorous angle to Carter Efe's remarks, others have speculated that the skit maker's message carries a more profound critique of the award show's timing and motivations. The debate surrounding posthumous awards and the circumstances surrounding them continues to be a talking point within the Nigerian entertainment industry.
