Popular comedian and musician, Carter Efe, has announced that he has officially buried the hatchet with renowned rapper Blaqbonez, putting an end to the heated feud that had been brewing between the two for the past year.
The feud had centered around a dispute over the sharing of royalties from their collaborative hit single, ‘Machala‘.

Recalling the heat of the dispute, Carter Efe opened up during an interview with MTV Base, shedding light on the conflict and its subsequent resolution.
My beef with Blaqbonez wasn’t a cruise. It was a real quarrel. He find my trouble. I just dey my own for Twitter, him just come dey say, ‘If you think music is easy, why do you want to give Berri Tiga 5% [of the proceeds of ‘Machala’]?’
“I was surprised. I didn’t reply him. My handler was replying him on Twitter and they were trading words. He thought I was the one.
But we have settled now. That’s guys for you. We are not like women; they envy each other [laughs],” he explained.
